a week's worth of odds & ends

We made it guys! It's the last day of january and I sort of have all these butterflies in my stomach when thinking about next month. I am so looking forward to crumpling up january and throwing it away. Well, I suppose I'll save a few shreds here and there but most of it was not something I'd like to remember. I will...

tried + true

cardigan - inis crafts, shirt - madewell, jeans - a&f, boots - target When it's this cold and you're wearing a coat over everything I prefer to stick to simple outfits that I can put on with my eyes closed. I also need to be warm. Which is where this cardigan comes in. I eyed it at TJ Maxx months ago but wasn't...

biscotti bites!

I'm on a bit of a biscotti kick right now. I love, love, love those mini biscotti thingies from trader joes and I've made some myself. Though I will admit that the whole double baking thing can be somewhat annoying, especially if you're running short on time.

can somebody please hand me my tiny violin?

Gosh y'all this month has been rough. And I have complained with the best of them.

There's nothing like seeing the snow hours after it falls, untouched...

hat - target, shirt - madewell, skirt - j.crew, tights - anthro, shoes - shoemint A lot of yellow happening around these parts lately. Yellow is on my braiiiinnnn.

yellow balloons

The other day we drove to Winchester to spend the day with papa bear's parents. It's a good mid point between us and them and it doesn't hurt that Winchester's a town that's real easy on the eyes. They got to play with their granddaughter and we got to take a little break. I used to look forward to manicures and spa days...

our journey with cloth diapering

We've been cloth diapering for over six months now and we're still loving it. The amount of money we've saved is phenomenal and I can tell because we started with disposable. In order for it to work you have to come up with a system that is sustainable and we've been able to make the process as smooth as possible at this point....
