Evan after we were done "trick or treating." :)

It was Brn's first halloween! Our neighborhood had a party in our cul-de-sac for the kids. There was chilli, desserts and spiced cider (which my husband made) and had to carefully mark it "for adults only." :) Good times! Evan was a puppy and it was a real challenge getting him to keep the head piece part on! oh well..he was still adorable and had SUCH a good time!

I found this lovely handmade boat and I WANT IT for Evan's room. It would match perfectly! This one is sold!:(

I WANT this rug, by Amy Butler! It would look FAB in Brynn's nursery!

I LOVE everything on www.rikshawdesign.com website. I saw some of her stuff at a store called, GIGGLE, when we were in San Francisco in May. I love her elephant printed quilt. I am going for a paisley theme in Brynn's nursery!

I imagine myself dressing up with Brynn everyday! (I said IMAGINE!:)
I love Kayce Hughes' website and clothing!

LOVE this table setting. My colors. I am in the mood to throw a party!:)

I just did an order for a new mom. We did the "chic" birth announcements and her mother contacted me today about ordering some calling cards. Thanks Juli and Toni!:)
I drew this chic, which I keep refining. Wanted to use this announcement for Brynn this fall, but we're probably going to use an elephant, instead of a chic. :)

I usually want one of each of everything when I look thru the Layla Grace website!
ESPECIALLY the home furnishings section! I LOVE this chair on the homepage right now!
We're in the market for a new rocker, this fall, for when our baby girl arrives...but
eventually we'll update our family room furniture!

Doug bought us each a pair of "Serengetti" sunglasses. WE LOVE THEM!
I could swear mine are prescription, they're so crystal clear to look thru!
My nicest pair of sunglasses, are a pair of Marc Jacobs, given to me by a friend...and they fell off my face all the time. The others were always
"Isaac Mizrahi" from Target...so, trust me, I am LOVIN' these new ones!
Thanks DP!:)

I am 25 weeks pregnant with our sweet baby, Brynn! We can't wait to meet her and have Evan become a big brother! It's hard not to go crazy buying girlie clothes!
This is one of my faves I've purchased so far!:)

I ordered some very cute labels for my orders from: www.sweetsanity.etsy.com
Kerry is so sweet and has so many options for stickers, labels, etc.
I LOVE ordering from etsy.com, it's great to support other crafty women! :)
Here are the labels I saw on her page and had mine changed to brown, ivory & pink with BELLA BY KARAH. LOVE THEM..thanks, Kerry!

Today is Evan Michael's first birthday!
He has brought so much love & joy into our lives!
Each and every morning his smile makes my heart melt!
We're taking him to "Monkey Business" today,
so he can run around & play! Then tonight,
we'll take him to SPIN PIZZA to celebrate!
