I can't help myself...

Yesterday, Jennifer and I set out to try and locate some 2012 calendars.  We've had basically the same kind of calendar since 2005.  They have varied in size & colors (based on what we could find), but have basically been the same.  No, we don't use electronic calendars.  We're the Flintstones around here, okay? 

Anyway, I just cannot bring myself to use a different type of calendar.  I cannot stand change.  I am the girl that has had the same checking account since 1988, in case you needed more proof of my dislike of change.  All of those problems were solved when I finally discovered that Barnes & Noble is carrying our calendars now (yea!), but not before we just happened to be over by Nordstrom Rack and decided to take a calendar-search detour and "pop" in. 

We both have some great finds.  I'm really starting to love the Nordstrom Rack, and it honestly seems like everything I like is $25 or less.  I think that being able to identify the brands you like, is key to having success there.  Here are some of my finds...

I got this little brown "sweater".  I have 3 in this brand, but they are longer in length & believe it or not, I've somehow managed to never buy a brown one.

I got this little top.  Again, I have several things in this same brand.  It's a little weird...kind of cape-ish, but it has a defined border along the torso, so it doesn't look as odd on as it does on the hanger.

Final article of clothing that I purchased...

A CAPE!

I've been wanting one, but every single one I've tried on made me feel kind of claustrophobic.  This one didn't and the price was right.  I kinda think this is a fad type addition to the wardrobe, so I like not having to invest much money on it.
It's a pretty blue with black outline...
Then, I got some tennis shoes.  I've been on the hunt for over a year.  It's quite a saga, really, but I settled on these Asics and I think they are going to be good.
Yes, having a little dash of pink is always on the must have list!

Y'all have to see one of the items Jennifer bought...
Itty bitty Ugg Mary Janes! 

They are beyond cute, and can you believe they are TOO BIG for Baby Harper!
Since Harper wasn't here, we tried to make Lola model them.

She was uncooperative at best.

Oh, and a couple of weeks ago (funny enough in yet another search for calendars), I got these cute shoes at Marshalls.
I've had a hard time locating brown flats, so I thought these nude color ones would work.
I like the little peep toe too...

Someone wanted their picture taken...
Okay, Lola...

look cute for the camera!

Ohhhhh, the cape!!!! I LOVE the cape! I have been seeing them in all the ads and would love to add one to my wardrobe, but Louisville doesn't have a Rack and I don't want to go spend a lot of money on one. But, that is too cute!

I love the cape, it's so so cute! I'm totally a fan of having a few trendy but inexpensive pieces in your wardrobe - they make you feel fun/hip when you wear them but you didn't spend enough money on them to feel sad when they go out of style and you can't really get away with wearing them anymore. Until then, rock it cape, because it's awesome!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
