jeggings

jeg`gings: pants so comfortable you won't remember you have them on.

Okay, so jeggings haven't made it into the dictionary yet, but that is my personal definition. After a week or two of using an elastic hairband to keep my pants on I went out and bought these maternity jeans and I. am. in. love! If you are pregnant (or not) come over to the jeggings-side. You won't ever go back. You can plan on my wearing these with boots every day all winter long.

shop update: clothes to keep warm in

Today I am checking things off my to-do list before we head out for the weekend to see family. Among the items listed was 'add winter clothes to shop' and I am happy to say that I can now cross it off the list! It seems I am lacking in the girl winter clothes department, but the boys are well stocked and I do hope you like what you see.

I'll be traveling tomorrow so have a great weekend everyone! 

here's lichen at you kid

Last night when I should have been doing other more productive things (like the laundry) I got side-tracked into creating my first etsy treasury. I was inspired by moss and lichen, check it out here. It was pretty fun -you should try it out if you haven't!

Now I am off to do the laundry.

her new kicks

I've been on a shoe hunt for the Little Miss since she seems to have grown out of hers from one day to the next. I was able to find a pair of warm boots rather easily, but I couldn't find any sneakers that were to my liking (she liked ones that had flashing lights and I just can't go there). And then I remembered these shoes I loved last year - and then I did a little dance because now they are only $13.99! Score!

baby bump: week 18

Yesterday we had a big family get-together at my oldest sister's house so I took the opportunity to take my 18 week baby bump pictures in her beautiful backyard. I wish I would have turned to the side more so you could really see how much I am sticking out because these pictures aren't really telling...I'll make sure to next time.

This is the first and probably last time I will get to wear this cute dress I found recently (at least until baby is here). It's already pretty snug on my growing belly - or I should say my growing belly is making it pretty snug on my bum, but I had to throw it on just once! Baby is kicking and punching hard enough for other people to feel it now and I am feeling great. Can't believe I am almost half way done!

Outfit details:
Dress - vintage

diy fabric wall decals

I am loving Danielle's home tour, especially the whimsical fabric clouds in her boy's room. I feel like so many possibilities are opened up to me now that I know I can adhere fabric to the wall with cornstarch - although I'm probably the last to know since the tutorial is from 2008. Better late than never! Have you tried it before?

shop update: fall plaids

The latest shop update, inspired by the cool fall weather. Hope you are enjoying it wherever you are!
And wouldn't that top right dress be a perfect Marsha Brady costume for Halloween? I love it.
