Chunky Knit + Leather Pants + Loafers- Mom’s Night Out

Leave a reply

Originally taken 2/28/2020…right before the world shut down.

Words I wrote when I posted these on Instagram…

I had a much needed moms’ night out tonight, but before that… 
Much needed US minutes out! We took these 20 minutes before my friend came over!

This is the first time we’ve taken pictures together this YEAR! I used to take pictures of us 3-5 times a week! Sigh… 
Funny video in our stories when Maya said “It’s been THREE YEARS!” I honestly thought she would have said it’s been three DAYS or months… Which is about accurate!

In any case. Maybe we both miss it. CLEARLY!

I’m hoping for more pictures of us…she’s not so on board…

It’s been weird looking back on pictures taken “pre-Covid”….

The one thing that’s interesting is that most of the stuff I’m still wearing now.  I wore these leather pants to this years Thanksgiving meal.  SO comfy…with an elastic waist-SCORE!

Mother’s Day 2019

Well said… and I’ll also add…love and laughter. The two components that make it all worthwhile.

SO glad I have both with my mom and Maya! And even more thankful that Maya has it with my mom too!

It’s a tradition.

The thing my mom and I both want for Mother’s Day?

Pictures!

We used to try and go to a “location” but found that going across the street after dinner for a few minutes made everyone more happy 😂

I think I can safely say for both my mom and myself that we will treasure these forever! ❤️

LOOOOVE  this next one!! LOVE this one too!!!
Truth be told.  The Huz and I were trying to get a picture of just us.  Of course, the quickest way to get Maya into a picture is to NOT want her in one.  
Of course she hopped in and made it the most perfect picture!!
My mom got of few of just me.  This dress is SO comfy!!

Sandals- Birkenstock “Gizeh” (thrifted, like new for $25!!)

I swear every time we take family pictures my mom and I think…”Well, hopefully we got ONE!!” haha.  And then every time we get SO MANY!!  But it’s not always smooth sailing and happy laughter and smiles… 😉 .   
 

We were taking pictures right in front of my neighbors house, and of course they came outside…haha.  Don’t mind us.  Fortunately, they are used to it by now!Hope everyone had an amazing Mother’s Day!!
