Hello and happy Monday! Today I'm sharing a round-up of recent purchases. I mentioned in my weekend post that we went to Anthropologie and we picked up another long-legged bird to add to our collection. Meet Olivia the Ostrich. She's fluffy, long-necked and super cute. Harper's obsession with puppies has reached epic levels and so of course ...
Our Weekend…
It was finally (after two weeks of cold, rainy and gloomy weather) warm and sunny this weekend and we took advantage of that and spent a ton of time outdoors. One major bonus of living in Houston is our mild winters. Enjoying time outdoors sans snowsuit in January is pretty awesome. Outside time + toddlers = happiness and nice long naps. There's ...
IKEA’s RITVA Curtains in Our Open-Concept Living Room
The story of these curtains is way longer than it should be. Go to store, buy curtains, install. I wish. It all started when I saw my friend Leslie's home for the first time. She has the most gorgeous home (she should seriously become an interior designer) and I saw her curtains and I told her how much I loved them. To my surprise, she told me ...
Love List
Switching it up today and sharing five things I'm loving lately. I used to do these posts way more often and miss them! MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter in “Radiant Rose” Y’all, I’ve only been using this highlighter for a few weeks, and it has officially made its way to the “best under eye highlighter ever” list. I started using pink-toned under ...
Our Weekend…
A couple of months ago I saw Marissa's new haircut and I just loved it. It prompted me to message her to find out who cut her hair. It turns out that her stylist is someone I've actually known for years--- she was a fellow stylist and friend of my old hairdresser, David (who now lives in Italy), so I used to see her every time I went in! I even ...
Blackout
Happy Tuesday! Lately, I've been wearing my "uniform" of skinny pants, a dress shirt and blazer to work. Monday's outfit was a take on that look--- it's so simple with the solid black tunic blouse and slim pants--- but the gorgeous hot pink necklace from bip and bop and the faux leopard calf hair shoes add just enough pop. top- ...
Renewing My Skincare Routine in 2015
The New Year is as good of a time as ever to confess that I haven't had a good skincare routine for the past two years. I completely changed my skincare routine when I was pregnant and nursing. I got so used to having such a low-key, three-product routine (face wash, moisturizer and acne cream when needed) that anything more than that felt ...
Our Weekend…
I got off of work early Friday, so it was nice to squeeze in some extra family time. Right now there are a lot of tea parties going on in this house, so that's where you'll usually find us playing. Harper has gone through a language explosion recently, so it has been even more fun to play because there's so much back-and-forth. She talks ...

2015 + Gratitude
Happy New Year! 2014 was an incredible year for our family. We watched Harper grow into a walking, talking, sweet (and sometimes many times mischievous) toddler. I can truly say it was the best year of our life together so far. I don't really make resolutions anymore, but what I'm trying to focus on this year is gratitude. A couple of years ago, ...
