Open field

Hello everyone. For those that celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope you all had a blast ! We had a wonderful thanksgiving with the company of the people we love. My mother in law's house was full of people but we managed to find space for everyone. A few days of time off is really nice but getting back to a normal routine is quite a challenged for me this morning. It may take until tomorrow to snap out of it. There are things that needs to get done so this is a quick say Hi to everyone and wish you a fantastic week. But first things first is hello December ! You sure came so fast. How can it be possible that we are a month away to welcome a new year. But one thing is for sure that this ankle boots are really made for walking. I been wearing it non stop and it is comfortable than I thought !

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

The brits

My, my, my.... The last time I checked we are not british. The last time I checked we most certainly not pirates and therefore I don't speak pirate. But my son start talking to me his own version of british accent. He's funny and it doesn't surprise me a bit but I still can't keep a straight face. I have to go to the other room and laugh so he doesn't see me. He even practice reciting his poem at home with a british accent. He's serious about it and I don't want to hurt his feelings. I just let him. It is so amazing how we see ourselves in our children. I see myself in my son in many ways. Like him being funny, intuitive, full of life, too opinionated and talkative. He's extremely closed to both me and his dad but there are things that he's a lot more comfortable doing just in front of me. I asked him why? He says, because dad is always serious(true). I am most silly with my son than my husband but I can be tough and means business when there is a need for it. 

Then the other day, I chaperone my son's class field trip. A classmate of his came up to me and asks, Dylan's mom are you british? Ha, ha ha, I am not. Dylan says you are :).

Also if not speaking in a british or pirate accents cracks me up every now and then, once in a while my son will call me Mama Gertrude.... Not sure but your guess is as good as mine.

Now let's talk about outfit....

As I am showing a new found likeness for shades of gray, I also rekindle my old love for olive and turtle neck sweaters. This skirt's true color is olive green and it didn't show much on my pictures(sigh).

Thank you from the heart.

A plaid or a check?

After a few days of being out of blogging, it is great to be back again. But first things first.... Thank you. Thank you for all the kind words and thoughts from my previous post. I just hope that everything will be resolve and the outcome will be favorable for my little brother and I am not angry anymore. 

 It's Friday,  a great day so let's kick this negativity on the side, shall we and talk something much more relevant here. 

I have this strong affinity with plaid print. I adore it as much as I adore leopard prints. To me it evokes fun and youthfulness. A reminder that the holidays are just right around the corner. It is a versatile print that no wonder almost everyone takes a liking to it. I am actually wearing a plaid print short dress but I wanted to wear it differently. I transformed a dress and made it into a tee by folding the remaining fabric inside.  Plaid is a  true classic that never fails to disappoint. Do you like plaid prints too? 

Thank you from the heart.

And since it's Friday, moi is linking up with these fantastic ladies from :

Twenty Fourteen

Dear twenty fourteen, I am looking forward for a great year. I have high hopes, expectations and imagination that it will be greater than 2013. Let's do it now and never look back..........

I don't make new year resolutions anymore because I tend to break them during the first two months of the year. Although one thing is I am trying to do this year is to do a 52 Week Savings Plan Challenge. Me and my husband are trying to do this individually. One thing though is he ask me last week in order to save up what would I give up? Hmm tough, not shopping of course, lol. I told him I will skip eating out once a week. He said I thought you will say not to buy any shoes. Oh no can't give that up, I said. He just rolled his eyes and I am used to that already. Anyway the way this saving plan works is each week you set aside a ($1), Week 2($2), Week 3($3) and so on. Basically you just need to double up what you save the week before. By the end of the year, you will have $1,378.00. 

Is that cool or what? I am excited about this and will give updates on how I am doing so far. 

Hi everyone. Happy Monday, stay warm and safe. 

xoxo

Muscle tee

What did you just bought, my husband said. A muscle tee,  I replied. He laugh and hold my arms and asked me where's the muscle? A dry laugh suits the teasing. I like that is it soft and comfortable to wear. Making it ideal to wear on days when I don't want to be bothered by buttons and humid weather.Trying on clothes makes it a lot faster. 

Well aside from getting tease, we had a great lunch and shopping together. Just us having a great time. We drove around the lake and promise to come back sometime before cold air starts to hit us. Fun day with our son for a picnic, fishing and jet skiing. It is always these little things that I adore about life. My time with a love one. 

I hope you are having a great day so far. 

Enjoy labor day to those who can. I know i did a fair share of spending with all these labor sale sales.
