i arrived in utah four days before alt. design summit began so i could spend two days with family & two days with my besties.
sara wrote a tender post about our girls night out, here. i agree with her one-hundred-percent.

friends, it’s 2:15am and i’ve been girl-talkin’ with my roomie for the past three hours. i miss husband & the kiddos but really, this isn’t so bad…
i was starstruck this evening. starstruck by my favorite blogger’s husband. the last photo on the right – do you recognize him??? he is married to miss james, over at bluebird vintage. if you have never visited her site – go now.
i’m signing off, but will be back on monday with a full alt. report + i’m sharing my valentine’s ideas with you next week!
enjoy your weekend!
.....
if you are traveling with the rhodes family – specifically, me. there is a good chance i might convince a beach vendor to let us borrow eleven fedoras. then i might line you up, and ask you to march in a straight line across the sand. + a little booty shaking. in front of lots of people.
just so i can play with the pictures and create* something like this:
fedora par-tay!
…we just arrived home from our annual pilgrimage to mexico. ten days of family time, and relaxing – we are now ready to conquer what lies ahead! cheers to good friends, sunshine, and fedoras! do you travel over the holidays?
.....
our family has been traveling to mexico, on a regular basis for nine years. i’m guessing a dozen trips, split between mazatlan and cabo – and, our friends the Blands have gone on almost every one of those trips with us. it’s ideal with our kids all being such good friends. needless to say, mexico is truly a home away from home. for most of those nine years, we have done the same old things, on every trip. we’re in a south of the border rut.
however, this past trip we shook things up and tried a couple of new things… call us wild & crazy!
first, we ventured over to the gorgeous cabo marina, and we took an underwater adventure on the cabo submarine!
.....
i would like to write this post & simmer down my passion for such events. because, to be honest – most of the rhodes family excluding myself are pretty darn awful at ice skating. husband and i managed to keep sela safe for one full lap.
…kiana squealed and screamed as she almost kept falling – nearly killed herself while we sweat over the thought of her being hurt for dance. myla and kj voluntarily left the rink after one lap {clinging to the wall & myla took a hard fall on her bum.} both more excited about the cocoa being sold than the ice skating. and, the howell’s all seem to be pros.
.....
when the howell boys were visiting, we headed to fenway for a tour…
fingers crossed we get to go to a bruins game before this season ends!
