The Ultimate Adventure

my greatest adventure

A reminder to myself and any other mamas out there who may sometimes feel too "tied down" to indulge that nagging wanderlust, or too tired to endeavor to try new things, or too broke to pay for a babysitter and head out on the town--or out of town-- on a whim like we once could:

"Motherhood is the ultimate adventure..."

This nugget of wisdom borrowed from this post on Emphasis Added, one of my daily blog reads.

I Heart Zara

Somehow, earlier this year I was introduced to Zara kids' clothing; I think via this blog, (which I love).  The clothes are really well-made and stylish.  I haven't bought a thing for full-price, as it's a little more than I can afford to spend on clothes, but they have great sales.  

Here's what I scored this morning--their Fall/Winter sale just started, so I got some things for Jones and Baby Girl (Birdie) for next year:

Can't you just picture these with some cute-colored tights underneath?!

I actually want this in my size, but it'll be even cuter on a baby!

Cableknit leggings for an infant. Enough said.

And for Jones:

The boy looks good in blue.

The boy also looks great in a hat; and loves them to boot.

Happy Holidays! XO

The Meaning of Happiness

I read this quote on one of my favorite tumblr's today:

“I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’” -Kurt Vonnegut

I like it.  But, then it made me think of a quote that I can't quite remember accurately, and whose author I can't place, but here's the gist:

"Children do not speak of happiness, they simply let it run all over them like water."

Can you help me place that quote?  I feel like it's from a book I once read, but I can't remember for the life of me... 

And speaking of Kurt Vonnegut, I want to read this book: And So It Goes Kurt Vonnegut: A Life.
