sweater / skirt (old) other option here / hat / bag / boots
Let me welcome this fall weather with Pumpkin Spice inspired outfit. I swear, it is never going to stop from here, i love autumn hues. They are rich and vibrant just like the falling leaves. While this might not be the most practical thing to wear when you are a mom doing errands but it wasn’t my leggings or jeans kind of day. I feel like wearing a skirt that day, so i did. Of course accessorizing made is so much fun.
In life we have to make a choice, just like i chose to wear this fall outfit because it makes me feel alive. Sound so superficial right ? Wait, i have a point here. What i really mean is, in bad times and in good times, you have a choice. As a mom of two, it is so easy to lose it. There are times when i just snap right away at my kids without realizing that it will just make the outcome worst. There are times that i chose to give grace and took the time to assess the situation, the outcome is better. I always tried to remember this, no child asked to be born. So we have to fully love them, that includes loving ourselves and loving our spouse. That’s the greatest gift i could give to my kids. My parents love each other so much and truly invested in their relationship. I grew up with a happy childhood and i never resort to any trouble or bad habits. Of course, it wasn’t flawless but overall there is a big love and respect for each member of the family even if we all live far from each other. We all have that foundation that our parents taught and influenced us through out our growing years. I remembered my mom told me the day before i got married, respect and patience is the key to a lasting marriage. So simple, so cliche. But mama nailed it, there is so much that goes into that. Within marriage, patience means discerning what needs to be changed and what needs to be tolerated. Obviously, if you are abuse that is something not to be tolerated at all. But there are behaviors that needs to be challenge to improve the relationship. Just for example on how you say things, sometimes it’s not really what you say. It’s how you say. Good communication, respect and patience goes hand in hand.
