Spinning Threads: To Be a Princess

To Be a Princess

MY VACATION OUTFIT:
SKIRT - Kimchee & Blue
WHITE TANK - Old Navy
BLACK CARDIGAN - Motherhood
MULTI WEDGES - Cynthia Vincent for Target
PINK SCARF - Made by my Mom

"Mommy, I want to be a princess!" That's what Princess Sparkles said while watching the Royal Wedding (on replay of course, I would've never made it until 3am - though maybe Sparkles woulda if given the chance). I replied in the oh-so-cliche way, "You're my princess." And she looked at me and said, "No mommy, I have to find a prince." I chuckled and gave her a kiss.

Meanwhile, Pigtails fell asleep on a bathrug at the foot of the shower. She was that wiped out from waking up earlier than usual (which meant Camo and I woke up early too). Oh well, at least she's getting in her morning nap at 8am :)

Nothing could really dampen my mood. I'm off on a one night vacation with Camo to celebrate my birthday. We're going to go wine tasting, beer tasting, have a quiet meal where we don't have to take turns taking the kids out, and maybe I'll even get to read my book! Yay! I can't wait.

Anyway, better finish packing everything up for the girls' trip to see Fair Isle and Henley! It's so nice to have family around so Camo and I can go away for a night to relax and have fun. Makes me feel like a Princess!

And it's totally happened to me before where something doesn't look great on the hangers, but I give it a chance and it looks amazing.
