We had a completely random 60 degree day on Monday. It was SO NICE!!! Sadly, our day was jam packed, and we only had 30 minutes to play outside and take some pictures… ;{
Can we talk about how freaking adorable these clogs are??!! And what’s even better? They are totally comfortable! Clogs really are the best mom shoe! They allow you to wear a little bit of a heel, yet your feet don’t hurt and you can still chase play with your kids 😉 And they look adorable too-bonus!!
I was contacted by Sven Clogs after we posted and tagged them in a few shots on Instagram from the post I did a few weeks ago. She said she loved the pictures and wanted to send Maya and me some clogs as a thank you. WHAAAT??!! I couldn’t believe it!!! I went to their site, and fell into the rabbit hole of cute clogs. 
The attention to detail is beyond gorgeous. I got the medium height ones with the bendable base, which is what makes them so incredibly comfortable. The vintage clogs I wore in the other post are ridiculously cute (you will see me in them again next week…), but I have to admit…the wooden base isn’t as comfy as these are. I have to kick them off the minute I walk in the door, unlike these. I wore them all day!
Haha. Peace out!
Or…possibly reprimanding me. She has become the total manners police. It’s kind of funny. “Mommy, that’s not good manners!” or “Mommy, you said a bad word!” Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I have…well, I like to curse. BUT…I really try very hard not to in front of the kids. So, if I say “Shut up!” in an Elaine way, not a mean way, Maya still says that’s bad manners 🙂 
And I’m dying over Maya’s! SHE loves them too! She wanted to wear them the minute we took them out of the box, and was so excited when I said we were going to wear them this day.
Oh, and I’d like to take a moment to thank that ship for being perfectly coordinated with our outfits hahaha. 🙂
Every time we come to this park, Maya loves to get on top of this little ledge and jump off over and over and over. I was a liiiiittle nervous about her jumping with clogs. I wasn’t sure if she would twist her ankle with the little bit of heel it has. I was trying to talk her down and say that maybe it wasn’t a good idea to jump. All I got was a “Shhhhhh”
No idea where she gets it… 😉
And so she jumped!
And she didn’t twist her ankle. So, she jumped again, and again, and again.
And then…it was time to go pick up her brother.
On me…
On Maya…
Vestt- Gap (jacket that I cut the sleeves off of (thrifted, but
similar here)
Dress- H&M (thrifted)
Keeping it Real…
Since we only had a limited time, I was kind of rushed and didn’t have time to really check what pictures I was getting. There was also a guy at the end of the pier with us, and that always makes me feel like a big nerd. ANYWHO, can I just say how sad I was when I got home and realized I totally messed up the focus on this shot? There were a bunch of cute ones that we took that were all this fuzzy. BOO!!! 😦
A HUGE thank you to
Sven Clogs! We are beyond grateful, and we LOVE THEM!! All that said…generous gift aside. All my views on them are totally genuine and have nothing to do with the fact that they were given to us. If they were horribly uncomfortable, I would have just kept my mouth shut and said thank you 😉
(all pictures taken with a self timer and tripod, except ones of Maya :))
And this jacket of Maya’s? She wore it for Christmas, and that’s it. I LOVE IT though, so I decided she could dress it down too 🙂
There was a tagger on the loose all over West Seattle. We actually saw some of this person’s work outside of our gym, which is a good 15 minutes away from this park. 
I actually posted a picture of Maya imitating this face on a wall near our gym on my personal Instagram account. So funny! 
Omg, could this dog be any cuter?? Not ours, but Maya loves and wants to pet every single dog she sees. “What’s his name?!” 
And then the dancing began 🙂 
On me…
