my rain boot obsession

Still obsessed with rain boots today. Ordered my Bogs and it looked like I snagged the last ones in blue. Woohoo! I win.

This morning was stormy. I saw a woman decked out from head to toe in Coach. (This is probably my least favorite designer brand, btw. Gag! Everyone loves Coach!) She was wearing the Coach tristee boots. She was holding a Coach umbrella. (Seriously, who pays $55 for an umbrella? I’m using a free one I picked up at a Nationals game!) And, it goes without saying, she had a Coach bag. I don’t know which one because I’m clearly a Coach basher — however, even on this muggy, murky Wednesday morning, this woman looked impeccable! I wish I could say the same about myself, but I’m pretty sure I have baby throw up somewhere on my cardigan.

If you love this brand, here’s a site that is chalk full of Coach, with pretty pictures of handbags.

On another note. Looking at my Zulily mail today with a ton of fabulous RAIN BOOTS. Dare I say, cuter than my Bogs? What is my problem with these boots, lately? First it was cloth diapers, now this!

The end of September and the beginning of October conjure up a feeling of nostalgia for me. Although it’s unseasonably muggy, this stretch of the year is my favorite for many reasons that I’ll uncover in the coming weeks.

Today is Monday, and I was actually looking forward to it because I found myself getting really organized for the week yesterday. I cleaned up, washed all diapers, made oatmeal for myself for the week, did my own laundry (what a novel idea!) and made the day count. I wasn’t running out the door like a crazy woman, I actually walked to my train this morning. Max is cozy and snug probably taking a nap right now with my mom. Well, actually, I called and he is a little gassy and sleepy and not going down for a nap.

On a side note, I’m happy to be blogging again. I’m not making a big deal out of it. Casual. But much more constant, and without an actual theme. Mommy blog. Yes, I’d like very much to blog about all things mommy, and maybe this blog will evolve into that, but for now I’m taking it day by day.

My rain boot saga continues. I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy these tomorrow:

We’re running out of groceries. When that happens, I find this site to be very beneficial: Supercook I’m trying an “Incredibly Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf.” I’m totally not a fan of meatloaf, so we’ll see how that goes!
