Dear Boston, my prayers go out to everyone affected by this senseless tragedy that happened on Monday. A common thing I’ve seen around is people reminding others to hug their loved ones tighter, etc. I wish it didn’t take a tragedy for us to see the importance of this. I wish it didn’t take heartache and loss and fear to make this become so clear. Yes, let’s hug them tighter, give your “I love you’s” freely, count your blessings. Today, tomorrow, a month from now, a year from now. Always.
Dear Zack, baseball season has begun. And I’m happy because it means Summer! And you’re happy because it means your favourite sport is on all the time! Win/win?
Dear Tuesday lunch, we went out with Daddio. If you’re new here, we used to go to lunch every Tuesday with my parents, because it was my mom’s chemo day and they’d be in town (they live an hour away). This week was the first one since December that we brought back the Tuesday lunch, and it was… good. Mostly. I mean, the lunch was delicious and it was fun getting out with my dad, but you know. There was definitely a very real missed presence that was felt. An emptiness. I don’t think that will ever change.
Dear Target, stop it already, okay. I do not have a bunch of money to spend on shoes/clothes and YET, I am finding it extremely difficult to resist all of your items that fall under said categories at the moment. Just, stop it, please, for the sake of everyone’s wallets, ever. (But really, don’t stop, because let’s be honest, ain’t nobody got time for crazy expensive stuff, and you save us from that, so thank you, I guess.) (I mean, really, THE SHOES. I want them all.)
Dear Batman the cat, why must you sneeze 10 times in a row? And why must you wait to do this until you are pretty much right in our faces? I mean, jeez. Have some manners. Who brought you up, anyway?
Target gets me everytime!
It’s evil, really! But so, so good at the same time.

I never walk out of target for less than $150. It is ridiculous and when I look in my basket it is nothing I ever need!
Haha yeah, they make it wayyyy too easy to buy things there! ;)
xo
love your letters. and gosh target. such a battle every time….
and you’re adorable! xxo
Aw thanks, Denise! :)
xo
love love love this look! and yes, i love target. i don’t have much money these days so i try to avoid the place. so far, so good. ;) happy friday, pretty lady.
Yeah, I’m trying to avoid it, too. It’s a dangerous trap, that Target. ;)

Jim and I went and had fish tacos at the last place we saw his uncle before he died. It was sad, for sure, but it was also pretty healing. It was just the two of us and him and his girlfriend, none of his other family, so it’s like our special place with him. But yea, that empty chair was definitely charged…
Ahh yes, it is definitely a sad thing, but I’m glad it was healing for you guys, too. That’s tough.

Target. Word.
hehe worrrrd.

:) :) :)

Haha target , I’m in there to much and always end up dropping my jaw when I check out!! That outfit is really cute!!
RIGHT?! It’s ridiculous, that darn Target!
xo
Yay for lunches with your dad! I had to stop going to Target as often as I was. It was getting pretty out of control especially since I have the Red card and justified my spending a little more because I saved 5% each time!
haha YES, that damn red card makes it so easy to justify things!
xo
lunch restarts are the first step so you all should be really proud of how strong you are, so glad we dont have a target here sounds like I’d be broke all the time , hope you have a gorgeous weekend.

target is so dangerous! and even though there’s not one in the country i live, i STILL find myself looking online and seeing if my mom would ship it over to me. even more dangerous!
haha you have a GOOD momma!! ;) Seriously, I would do the same thing. It’s pretty hard living away from Target!
xo
Haha your cat sounds hilarious. And I have to avoid Target at all costs lately!
Yes, you do- everything they have is just too good right now! Avert the eyes! ;)

Katie, seriously, STOP! You are always so cute!! I wish I could dress as cute as you do everyday!! I need to get my stay-at-home mommy butt out of jammies and just make myself cute everyday!! ;) Maaaaaaybe, even one of these days I will wear heels around my house and do dishes just to feel awesome! haha :)
ps: not sure that would work out very well, but it’s a thought ;)
xo,
Shio
Aw Shio, you’re so sweet girly! And you always look cute, too!! And haha yeah, the heels while cleaning thing might be difficult, but hey. Why not?! ;)

I find it extremely difficult to only leave Target with what I came for. -_-
YES. This has been a recurring problem for me, as well. Target- they get you!!
