August Fields

snow days.

January 11, 2011 August Fields

18 cousins. 2 grandmas. 1 great aunt. 2 moms. that’s a lot of boots, mittens, snow pants and hats!

we shipped them outside as fast as we could bundle them up 🙂

slowly finding more room…..

dubs and his sweet cousin from south carolina.

lunchtime!

we’re planning another sledding date later this month. so many fun memories. and what a blessing that all these kiddos are homeschooled! a middle of the week “grandma day” certainly works as a field trip!

remember the surprise toboggan? we squeezed seven little kiddos and pushed them down the hill…….only dancy fell off the back on her way down 🙂

our family LOVES the snow. its important to have warm boots, mittens and snow clothes. it makes all the difference.

for our children i like the hanna andersson snowpants and jackets and kamik cold weather boots. i always buy black so they can be passed down to the boys.

organizing jewelry

January 10, 2011 August Fields

i love a fun piece of jewelry to add a little spark to the daily jeans and a sweater combo.

most stores have costume jewelry at super affordable prices now too! kohls, forever 21, target, meijer….while i’m grocery shopping. shoot, sometimes i’ll be turning to go down the fruit aisle and i make a uturn passed the socks and waffle makers and find a really cute bracelet! 🙂

i have a place for my earring and necklaces but i was having a hard time with the pile of bracelets.

enter cute bowls from anthropologie (thank you for the christmas gift susie!)

i thought to put them on my shelves in the kitchen…but somehow they made their little way on up to the bedroom and have not left. 🙂 bracelets, welcome home.
