sneak peak

I must admit, when I first saw these little shortalls I wasn't a fan. then a few things happened.
1. my nephew was born
2. I saw these on a boy


I LOVE them!! so fun for the summer and so perfect for easter.

I will have a picture of these on vincent after this weekend. if you aren't a fan yet, you will be by the end of the weekend (I hope anyway!).

things are never impossible

when you have a great photographer!!! thanks, shannon!


this is our spring dress

and my new favorite, our girly tee & skort!!! yeah spring!
oh yeah, and we have a new "shapes" (as said on the site), it is our "poppies".
poppies make me think of spring so I thought I would add this to our designs.

and our linen romper for boys

(we have 1 more item that will be posted by sunday!!!) stayed tuned, it is TDF

flash back, 1985

we had a power outage today so we headed to some thrift stores. so fun. I love finding old books!


not only did I meet the CUTEST ever grandpa (he had on a light blue cardigan with a butter shirt underneath and really cute glasses) looking for books too but I found these:


growing up I had a giraffe mug similiar to this. when I saw it I remembered holding it when we lived at our house that had pineapple wallpaper in the kitchen. isn't it funny how something like that can take you back 23 years? my kids will have these one day in their bathroom.

almost here

am I the only idiot running a business that didn't check what day easter was on this year? I thought it was for sure in april. so....my easter line is running a bit late (probably too late) so we will just call it the spring line. the rest of the photos will be taken this week and then stay tuned for an easter special! for now here is a preview of a sweet dress!

I am getting it in 8 pounds

how cute is this suit from jcrew?

they always make the best suits. they have full back coverage and that is a plus for me. so for the past 3 days I have been on a mission to lose 8 pounds. we are going on a cruise in april for our anny and I would love to actually feel good in a bikini. how am I losing my muffin top? 1200 calorie days and working out. I NEVER thought I ate much more than 1200 calories. I sure was wrong. I should take a picture of how little food 1200 calories actually is. I am so hungry right now and instead of eating I thought I would type to see if that would help. it didn't work so I will go to bed so the time goes by quicker until my next meal.

please note: in order to look like the model in the swimsuit you must consume 500 calories a day, have a spray tan and be airbrushed.

that's what friends are for

my best friend came for a visit.

we had a great time together.

it is always great being with a friend whom you have known forever, who understands you,

and one you can be silly with.

I miss her already!

florida state fair

for valentine's day we headed to the florida state fair. we ate lots of junk food and milked a cow!





aren't these animals so sweet?

bathroom fix

my husband is out of town this weekend so I got out the hammer! I decided our bathroom needed something added to it so I added plenty of pictures.



it was just the touch it needed! now I need to change out the christmas ones!

hope you love it as much as I do.

this chair

makes me GITTY!
1. it is a step stool
2. it is a chair
3. can you imagine my kid on it one day reaching for cookies?
4. it is red (my favorite color for the kitchen)
5. it was a gift from my mom and that makes it extra special

sweet kitchen

if I had to redo my kitchen I would do away with the upper cabinets. I love the open kitchens with no uppers or even kitchens with the shelves. so cool and modern!

another find

I am trying very hard not to look at indianapolis real estate but....I did tonight. check out this house!

sweet family room

check out all the original woodwork and details.

I love fireplaces in bedrooms, especially the master!

this is a sitting room off the master. can I please have that crib?

crazy for these floors!

I LOVE finished attics and would really like this for an office!

I love exposed brick in bathrooms!

sweet porch!

i heart this

I am in love with this material. how cute, huh?

jacket and pants

I just received this photo and had to post, of course.
shannon makes me goo goo ga ga!


I wanted to have a newborn in this outfit because I really don't think people get how cute it is! I ALMOST switched the welcome home top to this but my sister said no so I listened. this is the thickest, softest little top. perfect to wear a onesie underneath or the jacket alone. truly one of my favorite pieces!

she's free

my husband finished our fence today! sophie is quite happy about it. she no longer has to be on a leash outside. she ran around and then found her bone and enjoyed it. yeah punkie!

does recycling give you anxiety?

it does me. I am not sure why. is it because I read so much about how things that we throw away sit in a landfill for years? my recent anxiety issue was at costco. I wanted to buy the lint rollers but as I looked at them in a big pack of 6 it stressed me out. they make my life so much easier but all that paper and the plastic rollers made me question if they were worth it. the good thing is I live in a great city who really is great about recycling. every month with our water bill we get a little info on the city. it stated 62% of residents recycle. it is SO easy and pure laziness when it is not done when you live in a city like ours. so anyway, the lint rollers are recyclable and the used sheets can be recycled with our paper. so I bought them.
my next big thing was my packaging. I hated to use those tyvek envelopes because I know people just throw them away AND they are so ugly. so I switched back to kraft paper that is made from recyclable paper and is 100% biodegradable. my mission this year was to buy only products for packaging that are made with recyclable materials and, if possible, 100% biodegradable. check out how cute: these boxes are not deep enough for most of my products so I will be adding kraft boxes soon. I am hoping people will either reuse the box and ribbon or keep it for a keepsake box.
