SEVEN: PLAY DATE STYLE

March 21, 2017 by Jacqueline Barkley

This morning Sienna and I met some friends for a coffee date. Well actually I tried to talk to other moms and she ran around like a wild animal inside of Panera.

Our typical uniform is pretty basic.

I try to do all of the shopping for the girls by myself. This way I don’t end up buying twenty-five million extra things at target when I only need to pick up socks! I try to stick to a neutral pallet and lately that has included black, white, grey, and denim. I am easily overwhelmed and I have found that it is so much easier to pick out clothes when everything coordinates with everything else. I am terrible at doing laundry, but we are all somehow able to scrap outfits together and I believe its because most of our clothes can be combined in several combinations.

We also frequently coordinate, due to the limited color pallet, which can come in handy when we manage to all be in a photo together:)

Its also clear that the need for control runs in the family. Siennawanted to be in charge of all photography for this post as illustrated above.

SIX: A QUICK TRIP

March 14, 2017 by Jacqueline Barkley

San Francisco pastel homes

Last week the girls and I tagged along with Wayne on a work trip. He was the one who suggested that we come along and I am so glad he did. We arrived on a Monday and flew out on a Friday. It was quick, but perfect! The weather was so lovely that we only had to bring light coats. San Francisco is a perfect winter destination with kids! Here are some of the highlights….Palm trees, California

FOUR: UP WE GO

February 20, 2017 by Jacqueline Barkley

The view from the Skydeck Chicago, ILI always have the best intentions of having weekday adventures with the girls, but somehow it doesn’t happen as often as I like.  Last week I decided it was about time that we had an adventure. I packed a picnic lunch, picked up Lyla from Kindergarten and headed for the Willis ( formerly Sears) Tower.

I have wanted to visit the skydeck with the girls for a while and when the forecast called for a clear sky we went for it!
