i got these jeans for 4 dollars and they are super comfy. in real life, they don’t look that whiskery. but after seeing photos, i must resign these comfy jeans to the cleaning and at home only pile. oh, i will still wear them. yes i will. just not anywhere anyone can see me. because they are that comfy, like pajamas! pajeggings, if you will.
Harper looked so cute last night. you’ll just have to take my word for it because she refused to be in the photos. she wore a gray polkadotted skirt and her hair was in braided pigtails. it was darling, i promise you that.
we went out for dinner with our closest friends for Doug’s birthday. we hit up Marrow again, one of our favorite places, where they just changed over to their winter menu. i had the bison shortribs with brussel sprouts, Scot had the bone marrow with duck confit. sounds friggin’ fancy, no? it was delicious as always.
i finally got my hands on some lip butter by revlon. target had a few colors left, i picked up the cherry tart and we’re now madly in love. i’ve been wearing rimmel for my bright red for a long time now, but this lip butter is so moisturizing and shiny. going to try out some more colors when i can fo sho.
today we’re off for a coffee run, some grocery shopping, then we’re baking cookies and making valentines for H’s class. tomorrow they are having a teddy bear picnic and they all bring a teddy bear and are going to eat and take them on adventures. if i don’t die of the cute, i should be back here to blog later. if i do die, at least it was for a worthy and noble cause – small humans pretending to eat lunch with teddy bears.
friday and february already? ok universe, if you say so.
this week was pretty laid back and lovely. there was coffee, a playdate (lookie that Brynn’s cheeks!), more coffee, of course mini-topknots, and a lady date with Elizabeth, Amy, Lindsy and Bree for dirty burgers. what makes them dirty? well, it’s the way you feel after you eat one – so incredibly dirty and full of self loathing for having just enjoyed a pile of food as much as you did. burger, cheese, thick cut bacon, garlic mayo and tomato jam on a pretzel bun. i have mentioned it numerous times here and probably will again, because i have dreams of this burger. if you’re local, hit up DOA and get one. or the elk sliders. or the greek burger. or anything on the menu. i get my burger with garlic fries because i hate myself.
Harper now has 2 levels of fashion attire – naked with undies OR omg wearing every piece of fairy attire she owns at one time. she goes from jammies to naked in .6 seconds, then from naked to fairy like it’s her job. we are talking tutu, wings, headpiece and wand. most of my days consist of picking up tulle and clothes strewn about the house.
sweater: gymboree, thrifted // jeans: gap // boots: carters, thrifted // backpack: mini harajuku for target
last friday H had preschool in the morning and we had a date with Stacy and 2 of her 3 boys to go to the children’s museum afterward. but it was just our luck that the museum was moving and therefor closed, set to reopen in it’s new location the next day. what do you do when you’ve told your 3 year old you’re going to a museum all day and then you can’t? cupcakes.
because toddlers don’t know nor care that cupcakes are totes 2006. oh and? either do their moms.
frosting is frosting. is marshmallow flavored frosting.
pretty sure that sweater is completely ruined from being slathered in chocolate frosting. if you ever need some cheering up, simply sit and watch a couple of kids (or just one if you only happen to have one handy) consume a cupcake. there is nothing not cute or happy about it. if you disagree i will fight you.
that escalated quickly! brick killed a guy with a trident!
besides, cupcakes give you muscles. or they have muscles. who knows really?

why yes i did buy furry boots. and you should, too, because they are super cozy and you can walk around making bear claws at people and it’s what Flo-rida would want.
last night Scot and i had our first date in so long i can’t even remember when the last one was. H went to GG’s for the first time overnight in the same amount of time. we decided to make our date a double and have dinner with Bree and Barham, who we hadn’t seen since the beginning of december (unacceptable).
we went to Marrow for dinner and cocktails. cannot recommend it enough. this was only my second time there but every thing Scot and i have tried there has been amazing. last night Scot had the marrow burger and i had the clams with pork jowl (seriously!), sun dried tomatoes and white beans. it was all in a yummy sauce served with bread for dipping and piling the goodies on. so dip and pile i did. Bree had beef cheeks with polenta and beet salad and Barham had the marrow with lamb tongue. he is more adventurous than i am. they have a full vegetarian menu as well. we know the owners and chef (and bartenders) personally and they are rocking it. if you find yourself in the tacoma area you have to go. DO IT.
