WINTER CHIC

I have really enjoyed just being a mom and not having to go and sell antiques day in and day out. But now that the weather has turned I am getting a tiny bit of cabin fever just staying home. I can think of lots of indoor adventures for older kids, but the only indoor thing I can think of doing with a child Stella's size is to take her shopping with me. Well since I am not working, shopping is not the best activity for me. What is a girl to do?

So today when it was sunny and a tad bit warmer I called Ashley and demanded a play date. I thought we could get out and get some fresh air. Plus I thought I could get Stella dolled up and take some winter themed pics. You know you SO want to see them...

A special note about this pea coat: When I saw it at Baby Gap this spring I wanted it so bad, because it totally looks like a coat I would wear. However, I never pay full price for anything... especially at Gap. I had to almost run out of the store to resist the urge to just buy it and feel guilty later. When Heidi came to see Stella in the summer she surprised me with the coat. Isn't she the best friend ever?!
