I have the most amazing mom on the face of the earth. She is my best friend and she always knows how to make me smile. She's beautiful and strong and hardworking. I work everyday of my life to become more like her; more patience, more selflessness. I get my creativity and my hips from her...two of my very favorite things.

My mother always let me be who I was no matter what. She let me dress myself before I knew my left from my right. She developed my personality and nurtured my talents. She is my Meep and always will be.

I wanted to share mine and my mom's outfit on this post, but unfortunately my camera went dead. I'll share mine with you today and revisit one of my mom's cute outfits later.

mittens.

so, I know that I recently did a fall post which featured a few glove like articles, but I love gloves/mittens/arm warmers and such. They're fun to wear and you only get to for a few months out of the year. So that's my dumb logic for this post when really I just like online shopping. (plus..i've been down an out after having my wisdom teeth removed. i've been on the computer almost all day.)

You'll find more than mittens here and you'll be happy to know that everything featured isn't from etsy. I did get a few from there, but I went shopping for gloves everywhere. They're really in so I found plenty to look through. Here are my favorites.

The word mittens always brings to mind my adorable mother's favorite joke:

What happened after the cat ate the ball of yarn?

She had MITTENS!!!

I type that in all caps because she always says it louder and she always manages to make me laugh. Come to think of it she hasn't told it in a while. I wonder why that is?? Anyways, I think the word mittens is meep. That is all.
