I really, really love our pink gingham tie. This month only we are offering *felt heart details* as a free upgrade during checkout! The hearts add just the right amount of holiday cuteness without being overkill.

The four lifestyle changes I am working on are remembering my multi-vitamin and adding natural probiotic to my morning routine, increasing my water intake, swapping snacks, and moving more.

One of my blogging resolutions for this year was to do a better job of posting worth-reading Friday posts. Ya know, something with some meat in it. But so far that has not been happening.

This outfit would be definitely be accompanied by a parka, gloves and maybe as scarf if I were really going anywhere, but since we just had playgroup indoors at our house I kept it to a light vest.

I thought I was done with backpacks when I graduated from college and declined Grad School. Oh how happy I was to just be able to carry a purse around! Well, purse morphed into diaper bag/giant purse and then along came three kids. And I'm back to a backpack. And I'm in love.

This year I really want to learn to be content with whatever cards are dealt to me each day. I want to be content with changed expectations or plans because I'm grounded in what is important and what makes me happy.

I can't believe that Christmas has come and gone already. We had a great one and I wanted to share a few photos from our celebrations before the holiday is too far gone.

Seeing the dentist and the eye doctor are appointments that I neglected in 2013. Thankfully I'm feeling ahead of schedule today as I style these new DAVID KIND glasses because as part of my review, I have an updated prescription to show for myself.
