1. my roots.

i've long called myself a boho girl... i like to dress slightly hippie - or as much as this traditional southern charmy place will allow - do pretty much nothing to my hair, wear almost nothing as far as jewelry goes - minus some big chunky wood earrings - my nails and toenails go polish-less most always always and i'm not much into frills.  my daughter does wear dresses on sundays, though.  so i do get some credit.  you know it's especially a big day if she has a bow in her hair, too. anyways, back to me.  ha!  come to find out, my hometown paper is called the north bay bohemian.  it all makes sense now.  i knew there had to be something to explain the flower child in me.

2. the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

keeping in line with her momma, sage is looking pretty good in her boho dress, if i must say.  i want one in my size.

3a. this momma of mine.

had a birthday last week and i always say that i was her best birthday gift ever since i was born the day before her birthday.  so, it's like all presents from then on have kind of gone downhill.  i mean, it went from happy birthday and happy baby, too, to happy birthday, here's a gift card.  ; )  anyway, it was a big milestoney birthday... i won't tell you her age, although she is only a few years away from discount zone.  even so, you'd never know it.  if we're out and about people think my one and two year old belong to her!  let's hope this apple doesn't fall far from her tree, too.

  

3b. speaking of last week.

i received a big box stuffed full of thoughtful stuff. lea, is so giving and sweetly sent me a goodie box for my birthday.  i mean, hello, generosity!  she remembered my past obsession with a howel and sent me a new pair. my hippie (cool codeword for slightly unkept) hair is screaming thank you on the top of it's lungs.  

4. not kidding.

i'm switching from boho and putting on my cowboy hat.  i scored these handmade 100% genuine leather cowboy boots from Goodwill for $4.  $4.  wait, are you paying attention?!  because $4 is unheard of.  i've wanted real boots for a long time but could never, ever, not in a million years justify spending over a hundred dollars (at least!) on a pair of shoes.  all i can say is that good things come to those who wait and to those who shop at Goodwill.

5. reunited and it feels so good.

my man and i have spent twenty-six out of the last thirty-five days apart.  i'm glad the travelling is over with for awhile.  summers are more fun when you can be with your loved on ones. i've never been so over-the-moon to see an empty suitcase.
