girls day out!

mapboy left last night to spend some time with grandma and his boy cousin! so this morning princess and i did a few things around the house and then took off for an afternoon of shopping!!

i was curious how this event would go. she LOVES clothes, but at the age of 4 (okay almost 5) i wasn't sure how long she would last. i have always bought her garage sale clothes or hand-me-downs. i hated those growing up, of course most of mine came from my cousins who were in esssence a decade ahead of me style wise. anways....most of her collection is mismatched items but she wears them proudly. we decided this year she could get a few brand new outfits for school.



so off to target we go....she must have picked out 20 different things to try on. i figured when we got to the dressing room she would get bored with trying them on. oh no....she tried each item on and twirled in front of the mirror. it was so much fun to watch my little girl be so precious. some she said she didn't like, some didn't fit, and some mommy had to say no to! we finished there and did kohls and old navy. she even enjoyed a trip through bed, bath, and beyond!



i had thought we could enjoy lunch at panera, but mcdonald's was the request. atleast they have iced coffee now - that makes the experience a little more enjoyable!

i had so much fun enjoying the day with my little girl! i look forward to many more outings just like this one! and i did learn one thing - she is just like me!!

oh yeah...if anyone out there in bloggy land is looking to get rid of some 4t girls clothes...let me know:)

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
