Hello readers and friends---today I'm sharing a different kind of post, written by my friend and co-worker, Hasti. When I learned that Hasti was named a Woman of the Year candidate by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I wasn't surprised at all, because Hasti's heart is as big as her smile. She is one of the kindest and most hardworking ...
Harper Reese- 12 Months Old!
It's the eve of Harper's first birthday and I have so much to say…but it's so hard to summarize our entire amazing year…I never feel I can find the right words or write it as beautifully as it deserves to be captured. But this will be published on her birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BABY HARPER REESE! How can I summarize this year and ...
Our Weekend…
On Sunday morning we woke up and Harper was finally recovered from her 48-hour tummy bug (yay!) so we decided to head to the country club's where my in-laws are members to enjoy a day of sunshine and water. It was Harper's first time ever at an outdoor pool and seeing her reactions to new experiences is just priceless! It's funny because ...
Harper’s Nursery- Updated!
When I was pregnant, I purchased these gold polka-dot decals from Land of Nod. I had planned to use them in Harper's closet and bathroom but I decided when they arrived that the dots were a little larger than I had hoped and decided to scrap the project. A couple of weeks ago, I was visiting Megan and Olivia and saw sweet little polka dots in ...
Gap Picks & Fitting Room Photos
Today I got off of work early so before heading home I stopped in at Gap and Banana Republic to exchange some items I purchased online that didn't fit. In this post I'm going to share some purchases and passes---and right now you can get 40% off of your entire purchase (in store + online) using the code "EVENT" at checkout. I was IN LOVE with ...
A Floral Blouse
When this J.Crew blouse first appeared online and in stores, I loved it so much that I bought it even though I was about 8 months pregnant. I knew I would regret not buying it and I was right! I really love the unique print and fun, bright colors on this top. I gravitate a lot towards emerald/bright greens so I knew my closet had to have ...
Bold Blue Stripes
I'm really glad I ended up keeping this Banana Republic half-sleeve striped dress. It's very comfortable and I love the bold stripes against the crisp white. I wore it with flats because I think the length is not a good one for heels and I did notice today that there is at least an inch to an inch-and-a-half of fabric in the hem and I may take it ...
Harper’s First Birthday Invitation
With Harper's first birthday just around the corner, I wanted to share with you her sweet invitation, designed by Rachel of Planned Pretty. I'm using the main colors from Harper's nursery--- mint green and gold --- paired with soft pink and lilac. I don't really have a "theme" for the party. I figure as she gets older her birthday parties ...
Our Weekend…
It has been a long week…it all started with what I thought was bronchitis (it wasn't) and now I'm struggling with very intense and searing pain from a resulting rib injury. I've been coughing like crazy at night so my doctor has me on a lot of medicine to help prevent further injury to my ribs so I can heal. I can't remember the last time I had a ...
Three Dresses
I've worn this dress several times since I bought it because it's so easy to wear and very comfortable. I have to say that most of Madewell's dresses lately have been quite short, but this one is just right. I appreciate it when brands carry tall sizes in dresses especially (Gap, Banana Republic and J.Crew do online!) Though this one is not a tall ...
