Favorite things

One of my favorite fashion blogs is Glamourai. Yesterday I saw her blog on these boots. My husband then suggested we go shopping for two of my favorite things: shoes and perfume. The perfume was easy. Costume National's SCENT and the Hermes scent: un Jardin sur le nil. The hermes scent reminds me of Etro's Messe de nuit, while the Costume National reminds me of a scent I used to wear as a girl: Lady Stestson! Seriously, it has some of the same notes, but, obviously, much more elegant and much less chemical than the Stetson.
The shoes were more of a problem, everything I tried on was either too tight, too loose or too boring. My mind kept going back to those damn boots at Payless, by Patricia Field, no less. We came home and I ordered both colors: the black and olive.


Thanks, Glamourai!!!

Gifted children are no longer "real"...

This article really, REALLY ticked me off! As a parent of two highly gifted children I find this disturbing. We (our family) don't wear badges of "Proud to be the parents of gifted children" on our hearts. The short explanation of a long, sad and somewhat frustrating story is that finding out our children are gifted, has helped us love and explore the many complicated ways they feel, think and process info.
Gifted children are a handful. They see things differently, at times clearer than adults. At times as a 3yr old trapped in a 10yr old's body. While they may be somewhat of a "genius" I tend to look at their ability to see reason, show compassion and love to others.
Most 8 yr old's do not stop to comment on a classmates parents divorce being the reason that the child is acting out...just saying.
