I took the girls down to the pool today where the water was warmer than a bathtub and they floundered around for 2 hours, then I had to run some errands which racked up 10,000 steps. If Merle isn’t tired and doesn’t sleep tonight then I am going to be pissed.

I bought myself a Mother’s Day present after ogling it for a while. It’s in stock on the Canadian site, but I think it’s still listed as “coming soon” on the U.S. site. (Mango is also having a 30% off sale for Mother’s Day which I missed by like 5 hours :/ )  . I now have one big summerish bag and one small, so I think I am set for bags for spring and summer. I still haven’t bought sandals yet though. I keep hoping the Madewell Boardwalks will show up on Ebay but so far no luck. There was a Zara pair that were really close in style and half the price early this season but they sold out before I had the money to get them and they unfortunately weren’t restocked.

I was returning a couple of things to Zara yesterday and I saw this on my quick perusal of the store. I liked it and bought it without trying on, but when I got home I tried it on I saw that I had mistaken the back for the front. The way they had them displayed on the rack you can tell the salespeople made the same mistake. I assumed the opening was in the front and in all honesty I think it looks better (you can see the back in the link above). The question is, do you think it will be really obvious if I wear it backwards, or should I return it?

This week this post looks a bit different. I cut out the redundant numbers below that explain and correspond with the collage and just listed the numbers right underneath it. It left more room and time to include more interesting reads.

I feel like this entire week was thrown off schedule. Tom worked really late afternoons until 4 or 5 in the morning each day this week, but him being home during the hours that he is usually working threw me off.
