The 3rd Child

“You don’t have a baby book for me mom?!?” It’s true what they say about third children; they do sort of get the short end of the stick.  With Hayden, he does have the fact that he’s our last child on his side, so we do fall on his every coo and cry.  But as […]

Refreshed With An Anthropologie Giveaway

Happy Monday friends!  How was everyone’s weekend?  Mine was busy and tiring.  We’re working with Hayden on adjusting his schedule a bit and it’s leading to some less sleep for us right now, but hopefully it will lead to more sleep eventually.  Wish us luck! You may have noticed that things are a bit different […]

Hayden’s Birth Story

Hayden turned 6 weeks old yesterday, and the memories of his birth are still very fresh in my mind and my heart, but certain details seem to be fading just a bit.  I never thought I’d share a birth story of one of my kids, and I’ll be quite honest, I’m not sure how many […]

In Anticipation of Fall – Sarah James of Whoorl

Today in the blogger series, In Anticipation of Fall, Sarah James of Whoorl helps me out by letting us in on what she’s looking forward to most this Fall season. I met Sarah last year at Camp Mighty and lucky me, she is a Southern California native and I’ve been able to get to know […]

Daily Style Week 5 – How To Wear a Pencil Skirt

My talk at the Penelope Lane conference on Saturday went well, and this is what I wore to speak. I don’t dare say great because I’m afraid I rambled a bit too much, my intro about my past life and career went on a little too long I’m afraid, and I may have used the […]
