layered white.

wearing a white on a hot day will keep me cool, right?

wrong.

the idea that white keeps you cool is somewhat of a myth, and i tell you why on mobile morsels. i mean, ever wonder why many arctic animals are white? certainly makes me re-think my summer whites. in any case, it just looks cooler, wouldn't you agree? plus it makes the perfect backdrop for a colorful necklace like this one.

scarf print.

one mini down, one mini left to finish school...

then it will officially be summer!

we enjoyed a sunshiny memorial day weekend bbq-ing and soaking up the sun while sipping on adult beverages. and i may or may not have dozed off once or twice.

moving on, scarf prints also remind me of summer with their fun patterns and bright colors. normally, i'd pair scarf prints with white, but since this top has a neutral base, i thought a

bright pant would help it pop.

what's your take on scarf prints? yay? or keep 'em as scarves?

did anyone brave the malls on black friday?

what kind of deals did you score?

preschool luncheon for mini-he...they sang a few songs before lunch and even prepared a special dessert for us.

hosted and cooked a simple thanksgiving lunch at our house for my sister's in-laws. turkey and baked salmon on the menu, followed by bingo for prizes.

i was one number shy of a blackout!

next up was a catered thanksgiving dinner at my sister's house. honey roasted bone-in ham & honey roasted turkey with mochi rice, veggies, salad, shrimp/egg rolls/wings/dumplings appetizers, and pumpkin crunch on the menu.

we also celebrated my sister's birthday.

and finally, a bit of black friday shopping.

stocked up on my favorite button-ups and long-sleeved tees.
