Ok, so I missed sharing my Lyla photos. I created a little tumblr account to post pics here and there, if you want to check up on Lyla (and Im sure Aurora will make some appearances too!). xo J...

Chances are things will be sparse around here the next week or so while we celebrate the holidays. We are so excited to watch our babies play together! Love,Amanda & Aurora, Jayme & Lyla
Lyla turned ONE on Monday! It has been a wonderful, crazy, stressful but amazing past year and like all moms say--it has flown by!! Her birthday being so close to Christmas already has ca...
Lyla looked extra spiffy yesterday in her little outfit and I grabbed my camera, as usual, and began snapping an abundance of photos. Looking through these pictures, versus the last batch I too...
As I write this it is close to 1 am, and I am awake, nursing my grumpy teething baby. Moments like this make me so thankful that I have this cure-all to offer my otherwise inconsolable baby. I love b...
Weve had many a gray day here in Virginia, so while Ive been doing a lot of shopping (thrifting and otherwise), I havent gotten to photograph items for the shop. As usual, theres a pile developing in...
In hopes of getting a little more into the holiday spirit, we went to our local "Festival of Trees" this past Thursday. The event consists of local businesses and organizations decorati...
Hello there! Were busy bees over at our house, between working and playing and decorating I havent had time to blog anywhere. This is Auroras first Christmas where she knows something spe...
I am so stoked to dress up Lyla for Christmas. Red velvet dress, white tights, black patent mary janes and some kind of ridiculous hair accessory, Im sure. I love having a little gi...
Thanks to Duncan Hines for sponsoring my writing. Theres no limit to the baking possibilities, so grab your favorite Duncan Hines mix and Comstock or Wilderness fruit fillings and Bake On! www.duncan...
Since teaching Lyla to say "up" (when she wants picked up), she constantly follows us around saying "up pup pup". We were so diligent at picking her up as soon as she said anyth...
We have a lot going on at my house...lots of stress and stupid grown-up woes. But we also have a LOT to be thankful for (the number one obviously being miss Lyla). I want to remember that...
Since the advent of the digital photo, I have been overwhelmed by all of the photos I have saved onto my computer and the fact that I rarely share them, other than the occasional blog or Facebook upl...
Hello, its Amanda (and Aurora!). Its been a while since we posted. We (well...me) have been shopping for and stocking the vintage shops and blogging occasionally on our other blog, but not doing a lo...
Last year I did pretty much nothing to prep for Christmas. My due date was December 28 so I was very pregnant and sort of used that as an excuse to barely decorate, not send out cards, etc. &nb...
Love a little just-up-from-her-nap, rosy-cheeked baby! Today Lyla is 11 months old. This past month her biggest milestones include (all of which I have no photo evidence, so Im filling in...
Its almost Thanksgiving...which, in our crazy-busy lives, basically means its almost Christmas. I spent some time tonight scouting some vintage holiday dresses for Aurora on Etsy, and no doubt,...
I keep seeing DIYs for legwarmers around the internet. Simply cut the arms off an old sweater and finish the other end and voila! Homemade legwarmers. Initially I slipped on these s...
So. Im still doing the whole working part-time thing (I first talked about it HERE). I still dont love leaving Lyla but I must admit that I love that she has time alone with Andrew.  ...
Im trying to decide if I should really use that title. Its a quote from Jersey Shore and I am totally embarrassed to admit that I watch the show. I guess I couldve just not foreclosed tha...
Just popping in to share a sneak peek of some of the cutest little shoes and boots, coming to our shop very very soon! (There is a bit of a moccasin theme, as you can see...)Clockwise, from top left:...
I used to LOVE planning my Halloween costume each year. Some of my favorites included a vampire (complete with slicked back hair and face paint), a pink lady from Grease (I even created the sig...
Not only do Jayme and I borrow stuff from the vintage shop to wear, but we also borrow for our babes. When Aurora got invited to her cousin Zoes 2nd birthday, I had to put her in something fest...
Aurora couldnt quite enjoy Halloween last year: not enough teeth to eat candy, unable to say the words "trick or treat," and not even able to walk around. She was briefly dressed as a m...
Hello friends!!! Im back. Dont worry: Im still vegan. I just keep forgetting to photograph my meals and honestly, sometimes the photography takes the joy out of the preparation and ...
Some photos of Lyla (and one of moi) playing dress up. She looks like a little doll, huh? This could almost pass for a Halloween costume of sorts (a new take on Raggedy Ann?). But t...
Last week I had the opportunity to go on a mid-week girls night out, to see one of my all-time favorite bands. What band, you ask? Get ready for it....Hanson. Please spare me the ...
I never really planned on teaching Lyla baby sign language. While I always thought it was super cute to see babies signing, I thought it would be too difficult to teach my baby. But one d...
