Lookbook: Minty Mini Adventure

-











I hope you had a wonderful long Memorial Weekend! My girlfriend and I took a spontaneous adventure to DC and had such a wonderful time chit chatting and pigging out! hmm Korean and Vietnamese food!!!! It was my very first time leaving the husband, dogs, and Kaylee behind to go out of town for a day, I feel so guilty saying this but it was so nice to get away from changing diapers, laundry, cleaning and cooking!!! Oh and I went to Zara in Georgetown for the first time and couldn't get enough of their clothes! Cant wait to share what I bought there! Happy Tuesday!

Last week to enter for eShakti giveaway!

    Sounds like a fun day out Yvonne. I think all mommies need their alone time at one point to recharge their batteries. Taking care of a young one is fun but you get burned out without realizing it. You and your friends are lovely. Gotta show us what you found at Zara. I havent been there in months.

    I'm so sad to have missed you this weekend! :( But I'm happy to see that you guys had a fun girls day in DC. Is it sad that I don't even recognize the places you guys went to?! Haha. Looking forward to seeing your Zara haul!

    You look gorgeous! Love the minty dress and accessories and so great you got to spend a day for yourself with a friend. I'm still a bit nervous leaving my little guy for a couple of hours but look forward to the day where I take a "me" vacation.

    The Kaylee pictures in her bright outfit are beyond adorable!!

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
