In A Blink

It's all over.
Happy New Year to Everyone!

Linnea took this pic on Christmas Day with her new ipod touch.


Thanks for following me on this blogging journey.
I started this on a dark Winter day in 2010,
and have found it to be a huge blessing.
I had no idea I'd meet so many new friends in cyberspace.
Thank you to those of you who leave comments and endure my ramblings.
I treasure each of you!

Anyone else get melancholy on the first of the year?
The decorations all look a little silly,
clutter is at an ultimate high,
kids are sugared out,
kids are way off schedule,
rooms are messy,
and we all need a little space...

I'm ready to get back into a routine,
and not eager to have 3-4 more months of Winter...
I found these boots to help me through...
perfect for trudging through the slop back and forth to school,
warm,
comfortable,
a tad ridiculous looking,
but they put a smile on my face.

Did a little shopping with Christmas money,
and bought this little dress I've had my eye on....

Ok,
I'll be honest,
it's not a dress.
It's labelled loungewear.
The hemline is a little goofy.
Linnea even said so.
I don't care.
I'm wearing it with striped leggings,
boots,
and when cold,
a sweater.

Comfortable,
cute,
and puts a smile on my face.
It's the little things....

  1. Julie we entered the blogworld around the same time. I remember both of our first posts were called "here we go" right? I love visiting you here. I love your style both in fashion and decorating! Your blog has grown so much! Keep going...and I'm ready for everyone to go back to school/work Monday. I'm ready to have my house back a bit. The decorations are down...not away, but at least down! Happy New Year Julie!

  3. I couldn't agree more with you...totally off schedule, sugared out, and sad about going back to school ;), but once Monday is done we'll be as good as new! Love those boots and that lounge wear! Seems super comfy to me;) Have a great Sunday and thanks for joining me in bloggie land as well! Alyssa of Boston Bee

  6. I got a pair of Bogs for Christmas 2009, and I LOVE them. I want another pair in the shorter style now. So warm and comfortable. And if you want that clothing item to be a dress, it's a dress!
