I had such a great day off today. I came home refreshed and slightly more glamorous with a new hair-cut 😉 I called my mom on the way to the salon (it is the same drive for both of us) to see if she wanted to meet for a coffee, and for a girl’s day too.

We ended up going to Payless shoes, where I got a cute pair of sneakers, and she found some adorable red boots with a nice high heel. We then headed over to Dollar Tree which was so cool. I found so many great Christmas presents. I found the tote-bags that I had been searching for, and new Christmas Stockings for the kiddos. I also picked up a few stocking stuffers, and a new Christmas decoration for the front door.

After all of the walking and shopping it was time for some Starbucks. I love that coffee shop, and I’m a big coffee drinker too. It was such a treat getting to sit inside, enjoy the quiet atmosphere and relax. We split two desserts and I had a Peppermint Mocha Latte, and she had the Gingerbread Latte, so good. I also picked up a Penguin Cookie for Thade, so he could have a nice treat too.  I think I’m going to have to do this more often.

I thought I should treat my hubby too, so I picked up his favorite Arby’s for dinner. When I got home Thade was at the door, and Dylan was a little nervous about my new hair-cut. I kept saying “same Mommy, just better hair.” James said that the boys were great! I see another “Nico Day Off” in the future 😉
