The makings of the most divine chocolate cake The cake in question A mobile for Birdie (which she LOVES) Tulle on a pretty girl Kisses from mama ... Well we finally made it to spring break!! Our house will be buzzing with preparations - we'll be packing, laundering & cleaning. I hate coming home to a messy house so there's a lot to...
jacket - J. Crew (old), sweater - UO, bag - Rebecca Minkoff, tee - Jessalin Beutler, jeans - A&F, shoes - Dr. Martens I've had these Dr. Martens stashed away in my closet since early October. It was then that I realized they don't exactly complement the pregnant frame. And so they sat patiently, shiny and new awaiting the day they would be...
We spent our weekend at Lake Anna with my parents. After a less than stellar past couple of weeks it was just what we needed. It's nice to have an extra pair of hands from time to time. We were blessed with such gorgeous weather on Saturday - blue skies and a pleasant breeze. It even got warm enough for us to ditch...
The lovely Colleen tagged me in her "five things about me" post and so I will be obliging and share these "fascinating" (probably not) five things about myself with you my darlings! one: I am a total germaphobe. Like massive. As in change my socks three times a day. As in wash my hands so many times they feel like sandpaper. As in,...
The above photo was taken this morning. I opened our front door and discovered essentially an entire foot of snow that had blanketed everything. I am no longer enamored with this white monster. I no longer find it cute. To get a full taste of my ire here is a list of all the problems this snow has caused: we couldn't get our...
Birdie and her buddy are ready for spring. No summer. Whole wheat mini chocolate chip muffins have been swiftly disappearing since Monday Snow? Again? Come on... Changing time with my chubby buddy We've been juicing non-stop this week ... Well folks we made it to Friday!! Thank heavens! I was a little worried there for a minute. Another rough week has me thinking...
one, two, three, four, five, six I haven't done one of these in a minute but it's spring and it could possibly be 60 degrees on Saturday and I think that's just fantastic. So without further ado I present to you my dream spring outfit. I would totally eat, sleep and bathe in this. Hope you're having a stellar day! Oh and pssstttt......
We came to America in 1998. In December. With exactly nine black, fake Addidas duffle bags containing our belongs (mainly daddy's books for his dissertation). We left a frigid and gray Russia for JFK and eventually the whitewashed fields of rural Wisconsin. I was twelve. To me America was Herbal Essences shampoo, Thanksgiving or my idea of it (feathers on your head and...
Has it really been three months already? Do I really no longer have a newborn? They tell you it goes by fast but oh my goodness... this is too fast. Our life has taken on a new routine with Birdie and it feels like she was always here, always a part of our family. I definitely can't imagine us without her. When I...
We stayed in for the most part this weekend, resting from a very busy, very exhausting week. We stayed in bed, napped and cuddled. On Sunday we drove up to the book fair that we've been hearing about since we moved here. It's basically a giant warehouse chock full of brand new "remainder" books. They literally had everything and for two book lovers...
