it’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring

this is a bit of what it has been looking like around these parts lately, a lot of rain and a lot of wet. i do enjoy the occasional rainy day as it makes me feel like being all cozy and a bit lazy as well. i love listening to the pitter patter of the rain hitting the roof in the middle of the night. there is something about this sound that leers me into a deep sleep every time. i have put together a few of my favorite rainy day items just in case it ever looks like this in your neck of the woods and you need a bit of cozy in your day. . . enjoy!

jacket: anthropologie, shirt: urban outfitters, pants: thrifted, shoes: steve madden, necklace: madewell   
a few things i have been grateful for lately include:
a husband so willing to come help when in need.
a couple days ago, while picking up kids from school, the battery died on the car i drive for my work. i had no clue how to jump a car and was in a hurry to get places. i called camden at work and ten minutes later he was there trying to jump start the battery (fyi, small honda cars do not jump large gmc cars very well). he even slightly ruined his new shoes he was wearing because mother nature decided it was time to snow. 
a dog who has all of the sudden decided to be a patient dog and not beg constantly for pets while we are working. i have no idea where he learned this trait, heaven knows it was not from me.
the chiropractor for making my back feel one hundred times better every week. 
the sweet man at the pharmacy who makes me feel like a saint every time i am there, because apparently people don’t wait patiently for their prescriptions anymore. he makes me look forward to getting those prescriptions filled.
for pretty bows that go in your hair and make you feel like a little kid but still have some sense of sophistication.
for songs that make you feel happy and bring back sweet memories like this one here:

    

happy tuesday everyone!

the egg is a mountain town lifestyle blog, from a local girls prospective. meagan shares on her hip happening blog, her favorite styles as well as her extremely fun life and is not afraid of a bit of sarcasm (now this lady gets my kind of humor!). with her writings and photographs, she captures her adventurous life in what she calls the most beautiful place in the country, jackson hole. i really like this post where she shares a beautiful home decorated “mountain contemporary”, this girl has taste! if you haven’t checked out her blog yet, make sure you get your butts over there to see what meag from the egg has to offer (only a bit of pure awesomeness)! -enjoy your weekends everyone.
