happy places.

This Mommy/Daughter date night could not have been any happier.

Olive Garden... (I'm not sure why I even ordered a meal. I should have just eaten salad and breadsticks. Lots and lots of salad and breadsticks.)

Do you see the matching outfits? These two had been planning this evening for weeks. Hair, jewelry, clothing, shoes... they had it all planned out. 

After we stuffed ourselves at Olive Garden, we went to two more of my favorite places... Hobby Lobby and Target. (Abi wasn't too sure about Hobby Lobby at first, but then we realized she was confusing it with Home Depot.) 

And then... I was introduced to a new happy place... 

Cute orange shovel spoons in a happy flower basket. Love.

Love the sweet friendship these two have...

Love this little miss...

Thank you, Danielle, for introducing me to my newest happy place! You're the best! (Click on Danielle's name to read her cute post about our evening!)

We have a place that looks JUST like that called Yogurtland. I LOVE being able to select just the right amount for me and not be stuck with some standard size!

Looks like little girls and mommies had a good evening.
Love how much both daughters look like their mommy.

Looks like a really fun mommy/daughter double date! Don't you just love Orange Leaf? It's one of my new favorite places. I also really like Danielle's Pray For sign! Great choice!

We have several yummy places like that here in Tn. My fav is Yogis. I LOVE their tart yogurt!

How fun!!

I still haven't been to Orange Leaf, but there's one in Missouri that my parents go to all the time.
