Can you believe?

Can you believe that the baby on the left (Emily) is the young lady on the right?


But even crazier….

Did you notice the dress?

Two things

1. I’m keeping clothes for way too long. 

2. Holy f…  I was that size as an adult?!??  I should really do something about this!

But for now, I’ve given Emily 2 piles of clothes like this one 

 

And between Jon and I we gave 8 big bags of clothes to charity. 

Somehow, our closets are still full 😳

On a different subject. 

Cheer season is over and we celebrated by attending a black and white banquet. 


Although slightly overwhelming, Emily did great and received the Strive award for her dedication to cheer!

Yeah Emily.

We leave on our trip out west soon so I’ve been in planning mode lately. So sorry for not being here as much but over the last 20 years, it’s only the second time that I take 2 weeks of vacations in a row. It takes a lot of planning at work for me to make this happen and a lot of planning at home to be sure this goes well!  

I’ll keep you posted as we tackle this adventure!

In the middle of all this planning and closet cleaning, Emily and I went to the movie!

She fits right in there!  


I will be back to check on all of your blogs soon!

Take care!

That wasn’t the deal…!

Over the years, Emily has been awarded the title of fashion advisor.

She is a really honest advisor who normally tells me that I look awesome…

That changed this morning

I walked in Emily’s room as per usual and asked her what she thought of my outfit.

I was wearing a skirt and a white top.

She said : “Meh!”

What the

I asked her what she meant by “meh!”.

She pointed at my outfit and said that’s too much white and it doesn’t go with the pretty skirt.

I left the room and came back with a great faux-leather jacket.

Emily was still not sold but it was “Better!”

I added a necklace and got the passing grade!

And there I was under the impression we had a deal where I asked her opinion and she paid me a compliment.

Now I know for a fact that when she tells me I look awesome, she thinks it!

That is my silver lining!
