Please email me STAT with what bra you are talking about.
I just dished out $60 at VS for their newest bra and I hate it so much I am usually braless for the night by 7pm, yo! I need to find something great before my husband divorces me.
Help?
This made me smile the whole way through.
And a house! HAPPY for you guys.
My first response after reading this was “sigh! I miss Ali and the rest of the Martell clan.” Need to come visit soon!
Congrats on the house! I can’t wait to see it!
That house looks GORgeous!
Your list made me smile, thanks, I kind of needed that.
Glad Emily made it home and that house is AMAZING. DROOLING. And can’t wait to see photos!
That is a gorgeous house. So, so jealous. And that tutu rocks.

I love the day after the flu. You’re still glistening from all the sweat, your hair looks freshly bedded and you’ve lost 5 pounds.
Gorgeous house! I’m glad you have Emily back. I hope the happiness in this post is truly reflecting the happiness in your life.
You were in Nashville and didn’t tell me? Sadness.
The house is beautiful!
i love your list! the house is STUNNING!
You had me at the house! Can’t wait for you to come home, Ali!!
Yay! “THE” house. I would write something obnoxious about how I was totally there when you guys were looking at that when I saw you personally in Atanta for my visit with you, but I don’t want to be one of THOSE people.
That house is beautiful! Love the porch.
I’m totally coming up to Vancouver to visit when you move back. That house is gorg.
That’s right. I abbreviated a word unnecessarily for emphasis.
holy hanna .. that house looks even nicer than your step-moms – if that is possible — drooling here!!
wow, you must be SOO happy to have your first-born back!!! Is she being good to you or does her independant self want to go BACK lol!!
