fall picks for a little girl

jacket // boots // coin purse // cardigan // tights // skirt // hat // shirt It's no secret that fall shopping is my favorite kind of shopping. Combine that with shopping for a little girl and goodness gracious have I been having fun! Of course it's nowhere near cold enough for Birdie to wear any of it yet but with baby boy...

you + me + me + you

top - old navy, pants - target (maternity), shoes - boden, bag - j.crew This past weekend was perfectly lazy with Sunday night rolling into what is beginning to be our Monday morning routine of a little Disney in bed with mama (so that I can collect my thoughts before having to jump out of bed), breakfast, a walk with Belle and then...

fall picks for a baby boy

I've been working on a wardrobe for baby boy since before Birdie was born. Since we didn't find out the sex during my first pregnancy I stocked up mainly on neutrals but bought a few things for a boy and a girl. Good thing I kept the boy things because well... here we are! However, now that we know when he will be...

my go to lunch + favorite sandwich

I've probably been making a variation of this sandwich for years but just recently decided to give it a little makeover by switching out some ingredients in favor of healthier ones. I use sprouted bread instead of regular white bread (I recently discovered the brand you see below and it is incredibly delicious!), something like arugula or baby kale instead of lettuce, vegenaise...

But sometimes, for once, you want to pick aesthetics over comfort and for me that was our anniversary date this past weekend. Just this time I didn't want...

six years

It goes by so fast. That's all we could think of this year as we celebrated six years of marriage. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were still in college and passing each other notes. It seems like it was just yesterday that I entered papa bear's phone number in my flip phone for the first time. It seems like...

a quiet cool morning

Gosh this morning was glorious - temperatures in the 60's and a cool breeze coming through the trees every now and again. It instantly turned my mind to autumn. There have been little hints here and there that it's on its way - autumnal pins, talk about "summer winding down" and of course the inevitable appearance of sweaters and corduroys in stores (never...

something blue

necklace - the jones market, bobby - ban.do, dress - threads 4 thought, shoes - boden These days I have approximately three dresses that are in heavy rotation in my closet. I've hit the 31 week mark and pretty much nothing fits and I have developed a serious distaste for anything involving waistbands. Last week I was running errands in one of these...

a week's worth of odds & ends

still working on eating without a show, suggestions are welcome this is what our garage looks like... all help is welcome closed the last can of paint yesterday! It is so nice to be back to "regularly scheduled programming" if you will. I've really missed this, I've missed connecting with you guys and I've missed documenting our days. And I apologize for taking...
