Who would have thought how much I would like my distressed jeans from jcp? They are so versatile that I wear them all the time! I even wore then to breakfast with the family on Mother's Day. I wear them with a t-shirt to clean the house and with a dressy top and heels to go out. What I Wore to breakfast Peplum Top: H&M Distressed Jeans: jcp Wedge heels: Jessica Simpson via Off Broadway Rosette Necklace: DIY Linking to: The Pleated Poppy … [Continue reading...]
To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with Mother's Day. It brings mixed emotions for so many and isolates women who are not mothers. There are women who embrace their mothers and others who miss theirs. There are women filled with love that hug and kiss their children and others that yearn for the opportunity to do so one day. Personally, I don't think we should need a designated day to celebrate our loved ones. It should be something we strive to do often. That said I'll … [Continue reading...]
I’ve mentioned several times that I’m a bit obsessed with stripes and dots. My last 5 WIW posts include one or the other. This post is no different! I”ve been struggling with losing the last 3-5 pounds of my pregnancy weight. I know that may not seem like much but for me that means the [...]

I was really wondering if I was ever going to get this post posted. Having a 9 month old that is into EVERYTHING doesn’t allow me much time on the computer these days. Last Monday, April 22 was Earth Day. In the spirit of the event, I thought I’d share an recycled or up-cycled project. (I [...]

Leading up to Boston As many of you know, my husband is a runner and he worked hard for years to qualify for the Boston marathon. He qualified in 2011 but couldn’t get in the 2012 race because it was full. He ran the Wrightsville marathon in March 2012 and improved his time (2:53) and [...]

Up until this past weekend it has been either cold, wet or cold and wet. It was hard to believe it was spring when the daily highs were in the for 40′s. I was pretty burned out on my winter wardrobe and started getting creative on my outfits – trying to revive them. This outfit [...]

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned my plan to have Townes’ nursery design (aka a moodboard) complete by the end of the month. Haha! That wasn’t taking to account Easter weekend and getting bitten by the stomach bug. I felt icky for about a week – ugh. By Saturday though I was feeling like [...]

The Paleo Diet, is a diet that is growing in popularity. It’s based on eating “contemporary” wholesome foods that our ancestors could hunt or gather during the Paleolithic era, or Stone Age. It includes meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, eggs and nuts and excludes dairy, refined sugars and processed oils to name a few. I really [...]

A few weeks ago, I shared Lily’s toddler room (which was recently featured on Apartment Therapy!). I love that Lily’s room is organized and has evolved to suit her spirited and playful personality. I wish I could say the same for Townes’ room. Sadly his room has been somewhat neglected. In our defense, he spent his [...]

This past weekend was my birthday weekend. While I love to make a big deal about the kiddos birthday, I like to downplay my own {the gray hairs I battle are enough of a reminder that I’m not in my 20s}. My husband however, doesn’t let me get away with that. He likes to outdo himself on special occasions. He coordinated [...]
