and speaking of happiness and favorites

today my mom was a rockstar!

not only did she work extra long hours so that my air conditioning could be fixed

(which in this 100 degree Utah weather is not something to be without)

she also launched a new brand

that I won't have to go to Nordstrom for anymore

I can just shop it at Madeleine L'Amour

stay tuned

for the happiest gift with purchase there ever was

new brand launching soon

be excited!
