I’ve been eyeing up a pair of Florence pants in silk for a long time, but it just hasn’t been in my budget. I love the length and the flowy cut, and haven’t been able to find or make anything that really hits that mark. As for the new year, other than officially entering a sci-fi decade (come on, 2020 sounds like we’re in a science fiction movie), I’m looking forward to taking my daughter on her first major family vacation. We’ve been saving, and now that she’s four (almost five this summer) she’ll be able to go without a nap and enjoy more of what we’d like to do. I hope to instill my love of travel in her, and even though our budget isn’t big enough to take “real vacations” very often, I want her to have happy memories of them.
