Mint Mocha Monday

Maggie and I went to Jessica’s bridal shower on Saturday! Truffles, coffee, gourmet tea, and a great time hanging out with the girls… It was perfect.

Saturday Link - Two Trick Pony!

Carrie (the lovely, talented friend and former coworker) left a comment recently and it dawned on me that I’ve never featured her company, Two Trick Pony! She and another creative former coworker make fun, beautiful stationery and prints using earth-friendly inks silkscreened onto recycled paper. Check out their website here and their etsy store here.

Family Friday - Treats and Sweets

A friend treated us and the Landrys to lunch the other day at Cabot’s, an adorable little ice cream parlor / diner in Newton. Sam and Tess enjoyed tasting (and wearing) a bit of their parents’ desserts. Maggie slept sweetly through the whole lunch.

I made an easy (Yay!) pumpkin cranberry bread, and Austin made two pumpkin pies. He tried his mother’s recipe for the crust this time, and it was delicious! The Landry [...]

I do…

Stephanie tagged me to do a list like the one she just made over at her blog. She was inspired by a Real Simple article that talks about how people (especially women) sometimes focus so intently on our failures and flaws that we become discouraged, and forget the little victories. I do think we can [...]

“Falling Back” With Friends

Our friends Jacob and Laura visited this week with their adorable one-year-old, Alana. We did a lot of sightseeing, and of course shared that wonderful parental experience of trying to convince our babies that what felt to them like 7:30am had now become 6:30am, a completely unacceptable time for them to wake us up. It [...]
