Candy Canes in Snow

 Today's outfit was inspired by the lovely Kendi from Kendi Everyday!

My top is not as bold colored as hers but I liked the idea of using the summer tank in winter and have been wanting to break in my mustard scarf for a while now!

 I really should have put on some make-up but I had no time. I am kind of liking my hair though. I achieved this look by showering last night and blow drying somewhat smooth when it was almost dry but still slightly damp. Then I did a side braid starting all around my forehead like I do to my daughter everyday and went to sleep like that. When I opened up my hair in the morning, voila it was kinky curls and body! I also know my white roots are showing but I might get my colored this Saturday so waiting to hear from the salon before doing my own color job.

The entire outfit except for the sunglasses is from Forever 21!

TODAY:

As I promised today was another crazy day. Started with Sea World where we met up with 4 other friends. Took the kids to the snow play area. For people living in Southern CA we sure are seeing a lot of snow in one week! 

After that outing and naps we went to the indoor play area for my daughter's 'Candy Cane Tea Party'. She wore her 'party dress' same one she wore last saturday to our holiday party. Then started bawling when her friend showed up with a pink princess dress. The owner's daughter was having the same issues going through dresses and changing her mind. The mommies bonded over the ridiculousness of our 2 year old starting so early!

My mom said she wants to take the kids tomorrow and keep them overnight!! My plans are wavering from cleanning out our walk in office closet and files and preparing the xmas menu and grocery list and shopping to doing nothing! Probably the former. All we know is we are definitely going out with my husband at night. Might check out the super lux movie theaters where you can have dinner and order drinks at the same time!

Stay tuned!

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay

 I was thrilled to find these skinny cords in this amazing aqua mint color. Today's outfit I have to say though was less about the outfit and more about what we did. I thought the color would look cute against the fair isle sweater.

 Activity #3 of the day was at a Hyatt resort...where these photos were taken!

Sweater - Victoria's Secret

Tee - Thread Show

Cords, beanie - Forever 21

TODAY:
Today was an insane day. I will let the photos do most of the telling...
First we went to a friend's house for a Hanukkah playdate. Her husband and kids are Jewish so she thought it would be cool to expose the kids. We had them watch a mini Hanukkah  movie, then do menorah craft and then played the Dreidel game! My son who is so interested in these things loved it. Plus they enjoyed playing like crazy in the big house riding bikes and scooters all around the living room and family rooms.

Then direct from there we went to my friend's house for a playdate at her house!
After giving up on attempts to have my daughter nap there we left to see this giant gingerbread village display at a resort near her house. The entire thing was made out of sugar and it was amazing!

 My daughter ate a piece when she heard us say it was all made out of sugar then I caught her and she made this face!

And then we went back to my friend's house for dinner and more play followed by our final activity which was to watch the "Living Lights" show of a house that does a full on 10 minute light show with music for a charity event!

 The pictures do not do justice...

I changed the kids into their PJs before heading home and came just in time for them to go to bed and shower before my friend came over to watch our recorded shows and hang out and exchange gifts!
It was a crazy hectic day. Tomorrow will not be that quiet either!
