My First Ever Clothing Post!!

Holla! 

Although I love fashion and am drawn to trendy looks, I would not say fashion is my "thing". And some would actually find me posting about clothes a tad laughable. BUT TRIBAL HAREM PANTS ARE A THING RIGHT NOW!!! 

And so I had to at least mention that I'm a way obsessed with this versatile, super comfy trend. 


K, don't mind my messy house, just look at these beautiful pants. They are so comfortable they could be pajamas but I'm definitely wearing them to church tonight, because you know, trendy!! I wear them with my Fakenstock (fake Birkenstocks) sandals and my Madewell traveler tote and I totally pass for someone who knows what they're doing at the mall!! 

But I'm not. 

Double plus bonus, both of these babies (plus an awesome pair of tribal leggings) were on clearance Ross.

Gabe's Poem

i want you like this 
ALWAYS
soft and sun scented, 
slightly golden
and still smelling like 
lake water
and a hard days 
play. 
in a worn cotton shirt,
breezy hair 
and heart.
i want you like this
ALWAYS.
brave
and undaunted 
and loud 
and full 
of life and laughter 
i want you like this 
ALWAYS. 
curled in my arms 
just before bed
telling me 
I'm your favorite girl

Oh Look, A Blog!

Okay Internet. You're right. I'm not great at this. And there are a million blogs so why try.

For the same reason anyone starts a blog. To gain fame and fortune, duh!! 

Just kidding. To carve out a small place for myself. Where I can work out my thoughts and share ideas with an audience {I get notifications about the traffic that comes through here so I truly use that word lightly}. 

I'm going to blog more. MORE. Like at least three times a week. Just cause. 

So today's blog was a manifesto! I WILL BLOG MORE!! 

Tomorrow's blog is going to be a poem I wrote for my toddler boy. And Saturday will be clothes because WHY NOT. 

Game on internet, game on.
