Deux par Deux Has The Cutest Kid Clothes

I always loved dressing my kids in adorable outfits, complete with matching accessories. I heard about Deux par Deux and was transported back to when my children were tiny. They have high quality matching looks and I love all the styles. They've been around for 40 years, so they know what they are doing. 

We were sent a gorgeous butterfly umbrella, and if you love the pattern, yes, there are clothes with it as well. This is perfect for blocking out the harsh sun as well as protecting you from the rain.



Deux par Deux has clothes for boys and girls with sizes from 3 months to 14 years. 



Have a special occasion coming up? Check them out! There are the sweetest dresses and suits. 



I mean, look! This is just one of the many dresses that they have. I love the details.

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.


HEY, IT'S OKAY....


......to be proud of my son for graduating college over the weekend. My heart swelled when I saw him cross that stage. He did it!


......to hope Tommy has the best time in Canada. He let me know that he planned his own trip to Canada with his own money. Am I worried? A little. But I am proud of him for organizing everything. He'll be spending nearly a week in the Vancouver area. He was inspired to go from the video that plays in the Canada area at Epcot


......to be glad Natalie passed her swim test. She wants to be a lifeguard at SeaWorld and had to go through various exercises to be sure she could handle it. She goes to HR this week and then training!


......to be going to see The Devil Wears Prada 2 on Wednesday with my Mom and kids. We recently watched the first one so all the characters will be fresh in our minds. (I quote "That's all," often.)


......to keep this in mind if I'm ever tempted to use AI. I see it everywhere these days and I can't help but feel for actual artists.

Graduating From UTSA

 We got the graduation program and the first thing I noticed was how thick it was. 

There were over 50 pages. 50!

I flipped through it, marveling at all the names of the people graduating from college. 

"We are going to be here for a long time," I surmised. 



I didn't mind. Too much. After all, my son was graduating with his Bachelor's in Film & Media. (He also has an Associates in Video Cinematography.) It was a great day! An exciting day.

A long day.

Whew. I shifted in my seat, ignoring the slight pain in my left butt cheek. 

Still, at least the Air Conditioning was strong. 

When that familiar song came on and the graduates started emerging, my heart lifted. 


It took about 30 minutes for everyone to filter in. I am not joking. 

But I did find Tommy in that sea of navy blue and orange, so we waved and hooted and hollered at him. I pictured him as a little boy, having meltdowns, teachers calling me frequently. I promised--I swore to Tommy that everything would be okay, that he'd succeed. No matter what anyone said. I studied all I could about autism

And look. Look. He was graduating college

When his name was called, he did the dab and 67 move. He was jubilant as he crossed the stage. Maybe he was thinking about all the struggles he went through. And he persevered. 



I won't even lie when I say I was thrilled when Tommy said we could go soon after he received his degree. Many other graduates were doing the same thing because if not, they'd have been waiting for another three hours. 

We met him outside, and I was so proud. He did it! 



And I don't think anyone will be shocked to know the spot that he picked to eat dinner. 


The love for McDonald's runs in the family. What can we say? We adore the fries. 

Tommy says he's slowly realizing what graduating means. No more papers. No more finals. 

The REAL real world. Finding a job. His dream is to edit movies. And I know he can do it, as his resume is impressive. He's worked on countless projects. 


Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
