yoga

This week officially marked Jenny and my two-month Yoga-versary. We've gone consistently for two months and not only can I say I'm much more flexible, but it's become a highlight of my week. I've gotten to the point where I can actually calm my mind during the class, and I leave feeling much more relaxed.

We decided that since we're officially dedicated yogis, we're allowed to invest in our own mats. We also decided it's a little bit disgusting to use the communal mats. It may not be Bikram, but it's still a serious workout.

I secretly want to buy one from lululemon because I love the way they advertise (their social media sucks me in), but their mats are a little pricey. I'll probably stick with a Target one. Maybe if we stick with it for two years I can upgrade...

ballerina chic

There's a fine line between girly and childish. And I'll be the first to admit my addiction to all things ruffley ensures that I walk on my tippiest toes along that line. But I try to balance the bows and flowers with simpler pieces so I look feminine rather than costumey.

Although this Rachel Antonoff Silbert Sherbert dress is uber-feminine, I think the racerback and simple cut makes it work. It's a little bit ballerina, a little bit retro, and a lot of fun.

PS: It has pockets!

adventures with my best friend...

There is absolutely no love that is as pure as that of a three-year-old. It's a mix of mutual adoration and adolescence that I wish could last forever.

This weekend I had the pleasure of basking in Lily's love. Between snuggling with "special girl", learning the rules of the house (which she knows oh-so well), and listening to Lily talk about having a "GPS in the Honda, but not in the Volvo", I can whole-heartedly say I walked away with a full (happy) heart, and quite possibly, a little smarter...

Running on the downtown mall. Right after she said, "Whit that man has a cigarette. That's bad." and before she said, "Muffy, someone littered. That's bad for the earth."

Riding the carousel. Watch her expressions change...
