girls’ power

Saturday was all about girls time. I started my day with Harmony taking photos of cherry blossoms and smashing my head into the lower branches of the tree (which was so much fun, btw!). I bet people living in the nearby houses had to have a few chuckles watching us taking photos over and over again and jumping on the grass like crazy. It was totally worth it and we had a blast. Repetition is hopefully coming soon!

And then after lunch I spent the whole afternoon with my most favorite girl in the whole world. Guys went to their bike race and I had an appointment with my dentist in Vancouver, so Katrin was my companion for the day. We spent a lot of time in the car but spiced up the whole trip in a girls’ way. Once I was done at my dentist and being close to my favorite store, I knew exactly what we are going to do. We went to Anthropologie. I love love the store. Just too bad the clothes are so expensive there. Last year I bought a few latte bowls (one is regularly $6 and I was able to score the beautiful blue/turquoise one for $2! on sale) and I promised Katrin that she can choose her favorite color and use it as her personal bowl for her morning cereal. First she picked a light orange one and at the end she changed her mind and bought a nice purple one.

She had her iPod with her and I told her that while I will be waiting in the line to pay for the stuff, she can explore the store and take some pictures. She was happy to do it and I just love what she captured! She took pictures of her favorite things she saw and had a really great time.

For myself, I got a little turtle jewelry box and a headband.

I’m really loving our girls’ times together. We always do something different and I know that our mom-daughter bond grows stronger with each of our little adventures.
