Mission Monday #29--Sweatshirts
Sweatshirts have had a major moment in fashion in the last few months. They are great for layering and, coincidentally, for baby bumps. So as we (gratefully) transition from winter to spring, let's celebrate sweatshirts next week for Mission Week, eh?
One thing I am very excited about with the warming weather is the fact that our new house is right down the street from a huge park. It is easily a five minute walk away.
The warmer it gets, the more I've vowed to do more walking. I sit for my job and believe it or not it has taken a larger toll on my body this pregnancy than the three previous pregnancies wherein I was on my feet and running around 40 hours per week.
The exercise is not the only bonus, however. There are also billions of places for blog photos there. It has baseball fields, gazebos, park benches, bridges, streams, little ponds. So much potential.
But the biggest bonus is and will be the bonding experiences with the kids. This weekend I walked there with Kaden and he asked me to video tape some of his parkour moves. It was terrifying but also really cool. Not only did my teenage son voluntarily spend time with his mother, but I got to see all his creative juices flowing. Apparently, there is a lot of thought and strategy that goes into this activity. And I just thought it was a bunch of jumping and flipping. Nay nay.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
