Best Car Wash in Town

For as long as I can remember, my best moments with my Dad were our car wash weekends. 

He has always been a big advocate of taking care of the car, and every weekend, he would pull out the hose, bucket and rags. 

As Daddy's little girl, I insisted on helping. :)

These days, I'm not so great at the car washing. 

I pray for rainy days so that EVERYONE'S car is just as dirty as mine!

I can always count on that look of disapproval when I pull up to my Dad's house with a dirty car. This is usually what follows:

 "How long are you going to be here? Let's wash your car."

That's my Daddy.

I may not be the best at taking care of my car, but there are plenty of things I've learned from my Dad that make me who I am today. 

He's always been the strong super hero in our lives and there's no task or problem he can't handle. 

Whenever I have a problem...whether it's a big life problem or a table from IKEA that I need to put together, 

I always think of what Daddy would do.

Beyond the tough guy exterior lies a big teddy bear. Having a sweet and cuddly Dad makes for sweet and cuddly daughters. :)

Always funny, always involved....my entire childhood is laced with fun memories with "Daddy."

 

I've always felt like his partner in crime and his buddy. 

My quick wit, sense of humor and big personality are all thanks to my Daddy!

  

Happy Father's Day to the BEST Daddy in the whole world! 

We love you so much and we'll always be your "baby girls"!!!!

 

Listen Up, Universe.

So, I keep hearing about how if you want something, 

you just need to "put it out there in the universe." 

Ok, here it goes!

Thank you for your time.

Dear Mommy

 I wanted to do a special Mother's Day post about my Mom...aka..."Mommy".

(Isn't she gorgeous??)

 

I was going through old boxes yesterday and came across my Baby Book. I didn't even know I had this book, but i loved going through it and seeing the little baby moments my Mom documented. It was really fun to catch a glimpse of her experience as a new mother!

 I was laughing at all of this because so many of these stories really haven't changed much over the years. :)

I feel SO LUCKY to have a mommy like her. Always patient, always sweet and kind to everyone.... it never ceases to amaze me. 

On top of her gentle demeanor, she has a great sense of humor, talent for creativity and she has ALWAYS has style! 

(Check this one out. I WANT THIS OUTFIT!!!)

She took us everywhere and taught us so many things!

I cracked up at this story. I have mastered the art of avoiding salesmen now and I feel bad for foiling my Mom's plan....

 It couldn't have been easy dealing with a mini version of myself. I can only imagine how many moments did NOT make the baby book....

 I love you so much, Mommy! Thank you so much for raising us. I know for a fact that Amber and I wouldn't be the sassy and stylish ladies we are today without you! :)

Happy "Mommy's" Day!
