8/9: Friday Faves

-Livi’s first french braid. If someone could just stop the clock, that would be nice. I braided it pretty quickly, but she sat super still and was so patient. I love that it can keep her bangs out of her face, but she looks so grown up with a braid! And speaking of her getting…

(My heart melts to see Livi having a blast with her cousins) (That peacock was AFTER ME) I enjoyed an amazing yoga class with friends (not a single Warrior 2, which was gloriously refreshing)…
