remember these? strawberries & cream, and chocolate & vanilla are my favorite.
i had to bribe my girls with these to take some photos of them.
i love how they always try to copy what the other one’s doing.
today could’ve ended better. i think this month is just bad luck for me and cars because less than two weeks after i got a speeding ticket, i got in a car accident. it was my first time hitting a moving car(i backed into a parked car at a parking lot when i was 15 with a permit but we don’t need to talk about that ;), and when i got out of the car i just started to cry but i’m so grateful no one was hurt. and even though today could’ve ended better, it could’ve ended worse. i think i stressed a lot less before i got married and had kids because if i had gotten in an accident like this before, i would’ve been bummed for about 10 mins. and then think, ‘no one got hurt, the only thing i lost was money which is not a big deal, it’s just money.’ and forget about it but now that i don’t make the money but my husband does, i think, ‘oh, i feel so bad for jay who works so hard to earn money for us but i spend it all because of my stupid mistakes like this, oh, he just bought this car not long ago, this is like his baby, oh, think of all the things i could’ve bought for my little girls with that money…” and it just goes on. but from today i learned that yes, driving while talking on the phone is really not a good idea and i promised myself i would not use the phone while driving from now on. and i can’t help but think maybe this happened so that i wouldn’t get into a bigger accident in the future because i was talking on the phone, so it was God’s way of preventing something that could’ve been a lot worse. and even though i do stress more now that i’m married and am a mother because every decision i make affects not only me but my husband and my kids, it also makes me be a better person knowing that every decision i make affects the whole family.
something funny though was when i got out of the car after the accident, the other people thought i was just a little girl(even though they were like in HS) because they kept saying things like, “are you sure you’re okay hun?” and after one of them took down my insurance info and the names on the card which were jay and sarah, he asked me while getting my phone number, “and what’s YOUR name?” and was surprised that i was sarah, the one on the insurance card. he thought it was my parents’ names. lol, no hun, i’m the owner of the car and i’m probably old enough to be your mother. okay, not really, but i’m a lot older than you.
so i hope everyone a beautiful weekend and a safe driving on the road!

OH I'm so sorry that happened. I can totally relate! Two weeks after moving to a new city, I rear ended a sweet old lady. Everyone was ok but still, it's not a fun situation to be in. That is so funny that everyone thought you were a little girl. I get that all the time as well…seriously, like I will be changing my sons' diapers and they ask if I'm the nanny. hahaha! OH those photos of you and your girls! SO so cute!
Pearl says
oh my.. well luckily no one got hurt.. that's all you can ask for out of an accident…glad you're ok..

Well, glad that no one got hurt, but driving while on the phone? Do you yourself feel safe driving around with your kids on the backseat, knowing that someone next to you might be on the phone right now, being majorly distracted?
One family that I know lost their child because some lady ran the kid over – because she was on the phone – going about 30 miles around the apartment complex. She literally ran that child over, smashing poor thing's head under the wheel. Kid was in coma for 4 years, then passed away.
Think twice before chatting on the phone while you drive. You are not saving the world on the phone, you are not saving someone's life. Everything else can wait few minutes until you're parked.

I love the pics of your girls, and you are all in stripey tops 🙂
Safe driving for sure! And you are right, the little accident will make you more cautious on the roads. I get paranoid when my fiance uses his phone whilst driving, and constantly tell him off. It only takes one second to make a mistake, or miss something.

These car incidents are your sign to slow down. Please put your full attention on one thing at a time and stay safe. Glad you're ok :0

Glad you're all ok. The skirt your wearing is super cute, did you make it?
Sarah says
Thanks for your comments everyone. Luckily, I was just driving by myself when I got in the accident. But yes, no more phone while driving, I definitely agree. @Eliza I got the skirt from j.crew.
