The Good {Matilda Jane & Bosom Friends}

“That someday I’ll float away over the sunrise

And leave this whole crazy world behind
I’ll head straight for the stars
Somewhere on the way
I know I’ll meet ya
And carry on with your hand in mine”

What started out as a quiet hope, turned into reality.

Never would I have thought that out of a couple thousand entries, we would be so blessed to get chosen to be a part of

the Matlida Jane  Clothing Spring Photo shoot.

And It couldn’t have come at a better time to bring a bright spot to a somewhat bumpy year.

I don’t even know where to begin… our adventure to Florida was the culmination of years of dedication and loyalty,

ooey-gooey cuteness, and the love of and being loved by MJC.

It was beyond our happiest thoughts.  We felt like we we were floating on Cloud 9 in a daze the whole time!

Dreaming out loud… like pinch me, is this really happening???

Good peops, good grub, good company, good TIMES.

Who could ask for more?

Well, there was more.

More friendship, more warmth, more mother/daughter bonding, more fun, more laughter,

more beautiful children (moreso on the inside), more inspiration,

more cuteness, more gorgy CLOTHING, more silliness, more sand in our toes, more talent,

more GOODNESS, more giddiness, more gooey-ness, more girliness, more dreaminess, more hugs,

more giggles, more late night chats, more down-to-earthiness,

more giving, more inspiring, more breath-taking moments,

more heart holding things to stuff my heart pockets with than I could have imagined!

To say we had a FANTASTICALICIOUS time would be an understatement.

And to say it was all about the clothes and “modeling” would be a disservice to the hearts and souls of the MJC gals.

Denise, the genius designer/owner, and her gals have hearts of gold, and don’t let anyone tell you different.

To know her kind and giving heart is not to be surprised by the good people she is surrounded by.

She is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get gal… goodness through and through.

No. For us, this trip was about new & lasting friendships… Bosom friends, hearts,

and breathing in a once in a lifetime experience.

WAIT!  No!  I would hope it’s not the one and only time, but if it happens to be, we are so grateful.

Have I said how grateful we are yet???  😉

It would also be a disservice to not say how completely GORGEOUS the spring line is-BEYOND, really.

The details surrounding the line are to be kept confidential, so I can’t give you sneaky peeky, but let’s just say TDF in a BIG way!!!  You will literally have your breath taken away!

You will die twice and go straight to heaven!

And talk about MORE… this line has MORE than ever and will exceed expectations.

Is that even possible? I know. I don’t know how Denise does that.

every.  single.  time.

Blows me away!

You will not be disappointed.  Each time my girlies came out clothed and primped and accessorized to the {CLOUD} 9’s, I gasped.

If you could have only seen the sparkle in their eyes!!!

That is what it’s all about.  How these clothes make my babies feel.

Their spirits are lifted, their smiles are bigger, and the skip in their step doesn’t touch the ground… floating in bliss, I tell you!

They just feel girly and unique and their free spirits and self confidence shine through.

Who doesn’t want their daughters to feel that way?

The MJC ladies ( Denise, Kayla & Sam) couldn’t have made them feel more special…

as well as EVERY little girl that was blessed to be there!

And our new friend, Michelle Huesgen, the fun and fabulous photographer did the same.

AND… It couldn’t have been more special getting a whole girly weekend just me and my littles!

Utter goodness, contentment, and joy.

Divine.

And me?  Well I was floating not only after meeting the MJC crew, but when I met

the fabulous ladies and their children we shared a house with.

We just clicked… felt like I’ve known them my entire life.

Again, words don’t do justice to how I feel about these ladies… bosom friends.

ADORE THEM!!!

Jami, Kelly, and Sandi

are not only very talented women, but have huge hearts with a desire to be and do good.

Bosom friends.

{Other fabulous new friends were Chantena, Kristin, Christina, Colleen, Elijah, Lynette and dear Anne.}

That doesn’t mean there was a lack of fun.  Oh no.

The kids got along so swimmingly, that someone actually called a complaint on us in the middle of the day

for being too loud in the pool…  can you imagine?

Can you have too much fun?  Hilarious.

I guess giggles and happiness from 9 girls + 1 boy is too much for some to handle.

For us?  It was complete bliss.

Bosom friends don’t need to apologize for their bosominess.  No sir.

Kayla, one of Denise’s right hand women, asked a question on FB the other day about what we love about MJC… this was my answer and it is even more verifiably how I feel!
