A game of rose vs. thorn.

Celebrating the mini-wins has been one of the best things to come out of this pandemic. Every night we sit around the dinner table and play a game of rose vs. thorn. I can thank my husband for starting this tradition because it’s taught my children to appreciate the small things in life. A sunny day, an unexpected treat left at the front door, dinner on the table, a FaceTime call with a friend…you get the gist. What’s wonderful about this is that none of us talk about material things. We talk about our small moments of gratitude that we are experiencing everyday because we so badly miss human interaction, events, parties and some of the things we may have taken for granted in the past. That’s a good parenting moment, right?

Finding inner confidence.

Last week I posted 21 facts about me that my Insta fam may or may not have known. Original post found here. Needless to say, I was really surprised at the responses. All loving, incredibly sweet and relatable which got me thinking… “How did I get here? How did I find my inner confidence to put myself out here?”

There's something about these trousers that made me want to have them. It's that cummerbund belt that ratcheted up the coolness factor for me...something I was on the hunt for given my disdain for denim after a long winter. Or is it an obi belt? I am not sure but I'm loving the interesting detail.

Let's go shopping...just in time for Daylight Savings this weekend, eh? Sounds like a good plan to me. I am ready to transition. Here's to hoping Chicago cooperates. While denim will always remain a staple in my closet, this year I am embracing cheeky flats and texture. I've never been one for big florals so this is my way of dipping my toe into a new season.
