Martha Stewart The Babe

I recently came across an article (sorry, for the life of me, I cannot find it now) featuring the young Martha Stewart during her modeling days. Wha-wha-whaaat? My thoughts exactly. I was floored,...

SK Photography

I worked on revamping our photography portfolio this week. I updated the whole page with new photos, did some re-edits to our all-time favorites, and simplified the selections into popular...

Seared Sprouts

I’ve been seeing this recipe going around lately, so I’m a little bummed that it took me so long to blog my own version since we’ve been making this for several years now… oh well, I’m behind as...

Sky Blue

I’ve actually never realized how many pieces with beautiful blue tones there are in the shop! This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg, but some of my favorites… and simply perfect for Spring and...

Flowers for Mother’s Day

Mood

[ sources // 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ] With this new brand, I felt I needed to create a point of reference for myself to use as guidance when designing future collages and/or elements for the site;...

Sweet Sundays // Caramel Sauce

Learning to make a good latte myself has led me down a dangerous path… or maybe it’s a really good path? Yes. I followed this recipe by Bakers Royal to make my own caramel sauce from scratch, and...

A Brand

I’ve been desperately craving simplicity and consistency in my life… I get that way from time to time, and for me, the best remedy is to clean house or revamp my website. Well, the house is...

Sweet Sundays // French Toast

Ok, I know everyone likes French Toast and I’m sure everyone will completely roll their eyes upon seeing this “recipe” for French Toast… I mean, what could be simpler? EXACTLY. I have never been a...

SS / 2013… finally.

{ Visit the lookbook // Visit the shop } Wow, I had this all planned and coordinated – or so I thought, but such is life… you know, getting in the way. So here is a dreadfully late SS lookbook with...

Bella

I haven’t shared too much of my shop activity lately, and that’s because I’m always worried about the aesthetics of this blog… it’s just that product shots just don’t cut it for me sometimes,...

Daily Grind // Aeropress Coffee

The mokapot originally sparked my intrigue for coffee-making, and led to my eternal fascination for all of the various brewing methods there are available to experiment with. Really though, I’m...

Spring Ensembles

///// 01, 02, 03, 04 Now that it FEELS like Spring, it’s easy for me to start fantasizing about little sun dresses and open-toed platforms. It was nearly 80 degrees today, which was actually...

Nursing’s End

It’s still hard to believe we have this little girl sometimes. It’s also hard to believe our little boy isn’t the age our little girl is now… that he’s a full-fledged KID, and that she’s right...

Homemade Pancakes (Sweet Sundays on a Monday)

Most of the time, I am not a big pancake fan… they’re just too sweet for me (is that even possible?) But when it comes to these homemade pancakes via Martha Stewarts recipe, I’m a TOTAL fan....

Spring

Spring is here! Can you believe it?! Now it feels like the year has REALLY begun, well, at least in my eyes. Time for new projects. Time to get out of the house. I’m already day-dreaming about...

Blood Oranges

Have many of you tried Blood Oranges? I remember some years back, they were almost unheard of in my area. My husband took me to his hometown in Washington (state) to visit his mother, and he was...

A Date And Love Affair

I know that I mention it a lot, but it’s quite difficult documenting fashion with children.. maybe we’re just too nervous about the little things, but our old routines just don’t cut it any more....

Oh La La!

I should probably let all of you know that I’m still alive… yes, mostly. Have I said all of this already? Well, I should also mention that I am presently a scattered mess. Right now I am running...

Daily Grind // Thoughts on Coffee Grinders

If you’re currently on a journey of coffee/espresso-making (we might as well say here, self-discovery *snort*), then it won’t take long before you start considering coffee grinders, if you haven’t...

02//13 Shop Update

I know I’ve been a bit of a deadbeat as far as the shop goes, but I’ve been putting in some treasures that I think should make up for it! I’ll be updating more next week too, so if you don’t see...

I Like Big Buns

This is my month of trial and error, it seems. I don’t know how many of you saw this video when it was meant to be one of my espresso machine, because I found out some time after I published the...

My Little Photobombers

If you’re a mom, and especially if you’re a blogger-mom, there are times you almost want to give up having your photo taken. It’s difficult, when the kids are there with you… the photographer (my...

Philip White – Bog

///BOG Found this treasure via “Whats Your Tale, Nightingale“. This set of photos by Philip White entitled “Bog” is something special. I mean, it REALLY is beautiful! The model and hair, and UGH,...

Daily Grind // Mypressi

Trying to develop my skill for espresso-making began with the same journey and desire to make the perfect Café Latte. I’ve always ordered the same thing: A classic Caramel Latte, and I’m quite sure...

Needing To Be Organized

I’ve been talking a lot about my hope to get organized this year… Whether it’s here on the blog, or the other sections of the site, or various social media… and even my home. Now that Ayla has...

Sweet Sundays // Home Made Cinnamon Rolls

Something both Thomas and myself easily fall victim to, is cinnamon rolls. Whether they’re for breakfast or desert, they are the perfect combination between sweet and comforting… and most...

hhhh

Pom Pom Sweater

I saw this little (or shall I say brilliant?) idea via I Spy DIY and instantly fell in love. I’m all about quirky details, but not so much about expensive brand names that you sometimes see carry...

Snow Day

This batch of “mismatched moments” is not so much a round-up of different sessions, but certainly some of the most memorable moments in our lives. Precious keepsakes. It snowed here… quite a bit....
