Mud puddles and rain boots...

>> I've been on a month-long shopping spree, y'all. I'm clearly having trouble telling myself no, which is obviously a problem. It's mostly shoes and makeup/skincare for myself and adorable t-shirts and kimonos for Grace. You know, the essentials. Ha.

I suppose the one good thing about my uncontrolled spending is that I've got lots of cool things I'm loving right now to share with you. So be on the lookout for that soon. And I'll be on the lookout for these beauties to arrive in my mailbox.

Somebody save me from myself.

>> In a world where DVR exists, I recognize that I cannot yet say all the things I want to say about Sunday's Mad Men finale. But if you have seen it and if you need to decompress and discuss all the feelings, email me at lovedandlovelyblog{at}gmail{dotcom}, and let's get talk about it. We can be there for one another through this difficult time of loss and mourning.

>> Grace discovered the joy of jumping into mud puddles this weekend.

On Sunday, we put her rain boots on, took her down to the little creek in our neighborhood (that's running like crazy right now with all the rain north Texas has seen the last few weeks), and let her go wild.

And I'm pretty sure it was the best day of her life.

Hope you guys are having a great week!
