since we are surviving on about four hours of sleep today, due to the fact that camden and i both somehow caught a severe case of insomnia last night and stayed up hours past our bedtime, we took brunch a little easy this morning and ran to the only bakery we could find open on a sunday for some much needed weekend brunch essentials (talk about a run-on sentence why don’t ya!). besides the overwhelming need for a boost of caffeine (because we are both big believers in self medicating?), we both got different versions of croissants plus a little fresh fruit tart. – and seriously …. this was probably the best decision i’ve made all week, to get this almond stuffed, powdered sugar topped, light and crispy croissant i mean. i will be having dreams about this croissant. the kind of croissant that will have me mysteriously driving past this bakery a few times a week to make “just one more stop”. camden got one stuffed to the core with chocolate and i was so enthralled with mine i completely forgot to taste it. we of coarse watched lucy, then laid on the couch the rest of the morning stuffed to the brim with buttery pastries, slap happy on tiredness. you know, one of … those mornings …

i love everything about daylight savings … except for that little part where i’ve been miserably tired this entire week. i love that our bedroom doesn’t look like heaven (it was way too bright) at 6:00 in the morning. i love that when i’m driving home from work i remember i still get a few precious hours of light instead of receiving that eye-blinding sun that comes with the pending doom of thirty minutes ’til dusk. i love that this means the beginning of a soon to be spring and an “adiós winter, see you next year” … brighter days. yes, i am fond of you, daylight savings … if only i weren’t so tired, i might enjoy you more.

i wore: dress, vintage from @the_moth_closet // shirt, urban outfitters // pants, madewell // shoes, frye // clutch, j.crew

i surprised camden with a little overnight trip to midway and park city over the weekend for his birthday that is coming up in a few weeks. it has been so long since we’ve had any time to get away (even just for a night) and we both were in serious need. we spent the night and first morning in midway, a cute little town inspired by switzerland, a few miles outside of park city. we had an amazing brunch, fed the horses and even spotted a few deer. we then drove up to park city for the rest of the afternoon to do some shopping and to walk up and down main street. i seriously love main street in park city. it has this way of making me feel like we’re miles away when we’re really just a short drive from home. we have already been planning our next trip back (next time we want to swim in the crater at the homestead in midway). i love you camden, happy early birthday!
