6. It was our first time leaving Caleb all alone. I’ve left Caleb before, but only with Josh. It was a hard trip since we both were away. We missed our little guy! Our plane couldn’t fly fast enough on the way home:) And just to clarify, we didn’t leave Caleb home alone, that movie has already been done:)

12. For the next three months we are going to be participating in the Haagen-Dazs Moment for Me campaign. It is designed to inspire people to stop and take a moment for themselves. How did Haagen-Dazs know that I needed this program? They must have a team of psychics:) I can’t wait to slow down and appreciate the little things in life. You can follow our special moments on Instagram and Twitter with the hashtag #hdmoment. And feel free to play along by using the hashtag! We would love to see your special moments in life! I am going to start by having a special moment with Haagen-Dazs Sea Salt Caramel Gelato! YUM!

  1. Not a fan of ankle boots. I see others wear them and think they are cute but on me they look funny.

  2. Pondering ankle /shorter boots myself. I have Chukka boots and they are not a problem for me – cute with jeans and shorts. But the cute shorter boots I’ve seen and wanted are another issue for me. Can I justify the money for a pair of boots to wear with leggings occasionally? To be hidden by jeans? I’m on the short side, with legs on the short side and skinny jeans are not my “every single day” look. I’m afraid they will just make me look shorter and stub bier with a skirt. How else can I wear the boots?

  3. I’m with Emily. I do like ankle boots, but only with long pants. That said, I’ve seen lots of tall girls with thin legs who look great in them with dresses.

  4. I made the salad that Jessica posted the other night and the flavor combination is incredible [caramelized acorn squash?! toasted pecans in pumpkin spice?!].

  5. Hi Maria

    I thought the prop room was a store! That must have been a great experience. I hope to be a foodie blogger one day!
    Don’t know how to get started!

  6. What a fun trip! I am going to check out that ebook sale! And I am loving my new ankle boots! I can’t wait to follow your hdmoments! I love Haagen-Dazs!

  7. We went to the Utah v. Stanford game and it was awesome! I still can’t help but smile when I think about that game!

  8. Okay- where do I start? LOVE the boots & the gelato. Looks like it was an amazing trip & I am SO DROOLING over that prop room. Sigh……

  9. I couldn’t agree more with the sea salt gelato! I feel like that campaign is just telling me to slow down and enjoy some ice cream every once and awhile! Something we often forget to do! Thank you for enlightening me!

  10. LOVE ankle boots! Madewell has several cute pairs!!! Love them with dresses, maxi skirts or skinny pants!
