5 Beauty Must Haves – According To a Pro

My friend Amber is obsessed with all things beauty, and good thing for me, she keeps me in check when I want to keep using 10 year old eyeshadow quads and attempt to get away with using some random color of eyeshadow to fill in my brows.  You might recall that when we last heard […]

Daily Style – Week 3 Then & Now

I still can’t fit into any bottoms that don’t have an elastic waist so I’m working through the closet and trying to stretch items as far as I can, and this skirt was a piece I was happy to work with.  I got it right in the beginning of my 2nd trimester and have been […]

DIY Dip Dye Chairs

I’ve been working on completing Hayden’s nursery, and one thing every little kid’s room needs is a little chair. I actually quite adore little chairs and we have about 8 of them in different shapes and sizes all about the house.  I was going to buy him a new one, but instead decided to give […]

For the Love Of – Instagramming

I have a confession: I’ve become addicted to Instagramming; I’m @fourflights.  For me, it’s far more inspiring and exciting to look at and interact with right now than Facebook and Twitter combined, although I do love the community at my blog Facebook pages 🙂  Anyhow, I digress.  I love being able to capture our everyday […]

For the Love Of – Sweet Baby Hayden

It occurred to me today that I hadn’t taken any pictures of Hayden with our proper camera since we’ve been home!  So I remedied that this afternoon by getting his belly nice and full and shooting a few pictures of my sweet boy when he was happy.  He continues to melt my heart every day […]

For The Love Of – Downton Inspired Jewels

Hi friends.  Occasionally over the next few weeks I’m going to have a few friends stopping by so that I can get some extra rest and spend time with baby boy Hayden.  Megan is a talented jewelry maker and recently launched a line inspired by Downton Abbey, a show that is near and dear to […]

9 Months On, 9 Months Off

I had planned on getting back to blogging this week, but it just didn’t happen, and I’m okay with that. I’ve needed the week to bond with baby without any distractions, and just rest. When feeling up to it, I’ve also accomplished a few projects around the house. I have been Instragramming quite a bit […]
