Wow, that was a fast week. After an unusually chilly January filled with illness-induced cabin fever, I was thrilled to feel the warm sun yesterday and get outdoors with the kids. A few 60+ days in the dead of winter is all we need as a reminder that spring will indeed arrive.

Even though I snapped this in 2010, this Faceless Friday shot is quintessential Cidney. My daughter loves to mix and match patterns and colors, and she always dons twirly dresses and skirts when given the choice. She recently went on a 3-day camping trip with her dad. Despite my packing clothes for various temps and layers for keeping mosquitoes at bay while roasting marshmallows, she sported the same (um, filthy) Hanna Andersson twirly dress the whole weekend. Wear what makes you happy. Just make sure you launder it occasionally.
