Shoes Off Darlings

So one thing I really don’t like to do is clean the house, no matter how bored I get. Unfortunately, it’s just something that has to be done. I don’t mind emptying the dishwasher or doing the laundry (who else gets excited when they see the bottom of the hamper?? even though it seems to magically fill up again within minutes), but vacuuming, dusting, etc. well, I’d rather sit on the couch and read a book.

I’m not one of those people who likes to clean when they’re upset or angry. No, I’d rather read, shop, and/or eat (I’ll pair any or all of them together!) Sometimes I wish I was more of a cleaner because then I’d actually get stuff done, but that’s just not me. Don’t get me wrong, my house is not dirty. Lucky for me I have a husband who does like to clean! I hit the jackpot for sure!!

One way I try to keep the house a little cleaner is by asking my kids to take their shoes off when they come inside. I mean, think about all the disgusting stuff we walk through outside-I shiver just thinking about it. Unfortunately, as my four children have gotten older they comply less and less. I often hear “I don’t want to have to retie my shoes,” or “I’m going out again in a few minutes and then they walk their dirty shoes through the house.” Sigh, I just can’t win.

PS My daughter bought me this doormat because she knows that’s what I really want to say every time I ask them to take off their shoes!

Only for my bestie would I get up at the crack of Only for my bestie would I get up at the crack of dawn to catch a 7 am flight (🥱). It’s her 65th birthday weekend and I wouldn’t miss it for the world! We met at sleep away camp in 1974!  I didn’t know what to pack so I brought @myjennibag so I could bring it all!  This cozy outfit is by @frankandeileen and is perfect for flying (and running errands, hanging around, going out-for everything!) I put a long sleeve top underneath cause it’s freezing here in NYC.  I’ll be comfy on the flight and look cute, if I do say so myself!  #clothesthatdontboreme #frankandeileen  #myjennibag #gifted #65thbirthday #bestfriends #earlyflight #airportoutfit #cozyoutfit #ootm #blackoutfit

I’ve learned that the size something is marked i I’ve learned that the size something is marked is not as important as how the item fits! I own clothes from xsmall to xlarge, depending on what it is and how I want it to look. Today I’m wearing a beautiful dress and sweater from @birdieandclaire The Jordan Dress is a size large as I didn’t want it too fitted, but the Kristin Sweater is a size small. I love how they look and fit together and how comfortable I feel wearing them together and separately.  @birdieandclaire produces their knitwear on demand (completed within 5-8 days of the order!), while the rest of their clothing is created in small batches, both made right here in NYC! Honoring the founder’s great grandaunt and great grandmother, Birdie and Claire, this company designs clothes to help women feel confident and look good at every age.
