Right now I am thinking about what I was doing last week at this
time. I was probably having dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, and by
dinner I mean breakfast because I ordered an omlette with a lot of
cheese, and homefries, and then was walking around the Irvine Spectrum
buying some new clothes. I do not consider myself a fashionista, and I
am definitely not a fashion blogger. Although, deep down I wish I was,
because let's face it, I LOVE clothes, and bags, and shoes.... but I
just have this problem where I freeze while shopping and have no
freakin' idea what to try on. Talk to my friends, they will vouch for me
on this one, I promise. I walk into a store and it's like instant
anxiety, it's so strange and annoying. Plus, I have said it before, and I
will say it again, shopping here has SERIOUSLY SUCKED until like 3
months ago, when we finally got some good stores.
This
California trip was not about shopping, it was about fresh air, relaxing
and recharging after a not so wonderful couple of months. People look
at me like I have 3 heads when they hear I have left my baby again, but
here's the thing guys, I am home with her, every single day of the week,
every minute, every second. She doesn't go to daycare and I would not
have it any other way (ok, well maybe if she went to daycare 1-2days a week for a few hours that would be totally awesome for me and her too). I love her more than I could ever put into words
(moms, you know the love I'm talking about) and I missed her like crazy
for the 5 days I was away, but I needed it. For my mind, and soul and
every other part of me. And don't think Ellia was upset, even for a
minute. She was thrilled to pieces to have her grandparens taking turns
watching her and Daddy all to herself on the weekend. Girlfriend LOVES
her family so much, I am so proud that she is such a strong and
independent little lady. I want her to grow up like my sisters and I
did, with a fierce love for family and friends and not to be shy about
it. I don't want her to miss sleepovers because she needs her mommy or
is too scared. I want her to be confident and loyal to those she loves.
So far, she has exceeded any expecation that I could have of her, she's
far more brilliant and hilarious than I ever imagined.
So
this post is kind of funny for me, Katie and I thought it would be
neat to document our outfits for once and see what we come up with.
Nothing fancy, and let's be honest, I did not wear the heels while
shopping ;) I wanted a few things while in Cali that I haven't been
able to find here. A new clutch/cross body bag, Nike wedge shoes (I have
no idea what their actual name is), a kimono type thing, and some tops.
Oh and stuff for Ellia of course. And that's pretty much all I got, we
spent two, half days shopping (for those things) and it was the most perfect trip ever. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to go on vacations like this one.
