This past Sunday our little family ventured to the Duke Gardens to take a few pictures for Liam's Valentine's Day Cards.  The Duke Gardens holds a special place in our hearts for a variety of reasons, but mostly it's one of those places that I associate with home.  The fact that the gardens are gorgeous year-round certainly helps.

Here's the thing about this past Sunday....it was cold.  I'll be the first to admit that I'm a weather wuss (hey, I live in the South for a reason), but when it drops below 50, I generally just want to stay inside and keep cozy on the couch.  When I do venture outdoors, I opt for warm, comfy sweaters, my favorite pair of boyfriend jeans and some booties.  (And these booties are tops in my book).  My ankles may be a little cold, but that's the price of fashion, right?
