My new Kut from the Kloth jeans came the other day and I LOVE them.
They are stretchy and a really nice grey. Excited to wear them with boots and booties.
I also picked up these boots at Target yesterday.
Not typically my style, but I tried them on and really loved the gold detail. And they were pretty comfortable. They may be making the trip to NYC with me.
Speaking of NYC, Huebie and I leave bright and early tomorrow for:
I cannot wait to get on that plane and be on our way! It’s going to be an amazing game.
There has been a lot of talk about the Seahawk,s and especially about Richard Sherman. I personally love the guy (for multiple reasons that I’ll point out below) but one of my favorite bloggers made a comment and called our team “classless” on her blog the other day. I was sooooo upset. I know other people trash talk teams all the time, but to see it in print on someone’s personal blog….I was just very surprised. I’ve been following her since before I started blogging and it really bummed me out. She’s a 49ers fan, and I get that, but I really try not to bad mouth anyone (especially on my blog). I haven’t read her blog since. It’s going to take me a while to get over this one.
She obviously doesn’t know anything about Richard Sherman; just what she heard in the interview he had with Erin Andrews minutes after his game winning play to take his team to the Super Bowl. Oh and not to mention that right before the interview he’d tried to go up to Michael Crabtree and tell him good game. And what did Crabtree do? Shoved him in the face.
So. For those who are in the same boat as her, here are a few links to show you why Richard Sherman is a really great guy.

10 things I learned after America learned about me. Love it.
Richard Sherman is the most interesting person in football.
So yes, maybe he went a bit far, but when you’ve been battling on the field for 3 1/2 hours, the adrenaline pumping, it’s not surprising to get a reaction like that out of a player. (As you can tell I’m very passionate about my team.) 🙂

I was planning to make my mom’s amazing dip for Super Bowl, but since we’re going I didn’t want to make it just for photos. Plus it was just Little A and I this week; we’d never eat it all. So here it is for you:
* 1 can Nally’s Chili
* 1 can diced green chilis
* 1 can sliced black olives
* 1 8 oz package cream cheese
And that’s it. It is sooooo good. My mom used to make it all the time when I was a kid.
I’m not bringing my computer with me to NYC, but I’ll have a recipe for you on Monday, then will be back on Thursday with a #graceeveryday2014 and a Superbowl recap.
I hope you all have an amazing weekend and as usual, GO HAWKS!!!
Hope you have an amazing time – I’m sure you will! : D xx

Thanks Louisa! We’re pretty stoked for the opportunity.

I love that you stood up for Richard Sherman. My husband doesn’t really love the Seahawks because he says that they can be a bit arrogant. I tend to love the humble good players myself. It does sound like Sherman had a chip on his shoulder because maybe his experience with not having a good run with a previous team? The good thing is, he found where he fits. I think he did go a bit far when he said what he said about Crabtree but he is really young and that poise will probably take time. On the flip side, I had no idea that Crabtree did that to him. It can be hard to show that humility when things like that happen, but I’m sure he will get better with time. I was laughing when there was a paper that came out after he had a nice interview with the press saying that he was lame for not trash talking. I agree with the one commentator who said “this guy can’t win.” I, personally, am glad they made it to the Superbowl. As much as I love Russell (and his whole new quarterback style he has attached to his image), I really like Peyton so I think I want them to win. (So sorry, Tiffany!)
Thanks girl! Lots of people don’t like other teams because players can be arrogant; I know the Seahawks aren’t the only ones.
I think Sherman was told a lot of things as a child that could lead to a bit of a chip; like being told he’d never amount to anything by a coach, growing up in Compton, etc. He came from nothing to become something great. Pretty awesome.
Sorry your Broncos didn’t win 🙂 It was a pretty great game.
