four years ago today [we got married]

it is pretty amazing how fast the years go by

it is hard for me to believe that we have already been mr. & mrs. for four years

I must admit that married life suits me pretty well

and I can't imagine my life being any different than it is right now

and this year feels even more special

because it is our last anniversary we celebrate just the two of us

I cannot wait to see what year five brings us, besides our daughter of course

so here's to many more road trips, adventures, and overall awesomeness

a good reason to get together

in my family we love celebrating birthdays

as I've gotten older I realize that not everyone still celebrates "grown-up" birthdays

but now I just think that is silly

because no matter how many times you have gotten to celebrate another year

bottom line, you deserve a special day

and a birthday in my family is just a good reason to get together

1. meg is 23  2. flowers in mason jars, always  3. just another reason why I love target  4. the balcony, their new favorite place  5. unicorns & cat donuts  6. I think the cupcakes were a hit  7. good end to the day

meg is 23!

today my little sister turns 23

yesterday we celebrated with friends and family

but for now, I'm off to the city to take meg back home

so I'll just leave you with this

and yes, she is that fabulous.

keeping balance

yesterday I made some major progress in the nursery

with some help from a great friend, Jaymee from The Design Hive

I can't wait to share what we worked on soon

but here is just one of my favorite additions we added to the nursery

trying to keep balance in the nursery with new additions and still keeping to

our design style of mid-century modern is truly my focus

and adding this vintage nursery scale is just what I needed

ten on ten [july 2012]

it has officially been one year since my first ten on ten

and I must admit it is still something that I look forward to every month

and now to get a tad sappy

and to explain why my last photo may seem like deja vu to you

 if you have been reading long

I figured this month, being my one year anniversary of participating in this project

I would re-do one of my favorite images I have taken in the last year

and this time around, I have an additional reason to prove

that love is real

[july 2011]

check out my first year of ten on ten posts here

and as always, thanks to Rebekah from A Bit of Sunshine 

for creating this project

getting crafty

well my first nursery wall art project was pretty simple

and thanks to pinterest, inspiration has not been a problem at all

I have been seeing everywhere in nurseries embroidery hoops used with pretty textiles

so I decided to give it a shot

for now they are propped up on the little lady's dresser

but I'll figure out where exactly to hang them soon enough

also, I've been pretty busy the last two days

and things are quickly starting to look a lot more like a nursery

here's just a peek -
