These little feet make it hard to get anything done...



...and I like it. 
SO. Much. 




It's true, Baby R came into the world on May 10 at 9:19 pm, 6 lbs, 7 oz. 
He's precious, and perfect, and we can't believe our luck. 

I'm just enjoying it and riding the roller coaster of the whole thing for now,
but we'll be back to posting in full force REAL soon.

In the meantime, thanks for all of your well wishes and love!
Can't wait to tell you more!

PS...Get on that eShatki giveaway! It's faaaab, you don't wanna miss it.

Five Things Friday.

1. These ADORABLE accordion skirts with contrasting belts from Kohls. So sassy. Online they are $37.80, but in my store yesterday they were $19. Just sayin.





2. Love these way cool vintage dictionary art prints from ex libris journals. Would be so fun to frame and hang anywhere in the house.




3. When I saw this recipe for Key Lime Coconut bars floating around the internets this week, I thought for sure that I would instantly go into labor, because SERIOUSLY, if something like this won't induce you, what will? And, even though it didn't happen, the fact that these things even exist is enough. Just look at them! And they'd be perfect for a little Cinco de Mayo treat.




4. I love this tutorial for t-shirt bangles. I have a whole drawer full of old bangles that could use a makeover like this. Super cute:




5. Big CONGRATULATIONS to Miss S who graduates with her Masters in Instructional Technology today!  She has worked sooooo hard for this day and I'm so proud! Great work, you little smarty! LOVE YOU.

And, honorable mention also goes to my ridiculously smart husband, A, who also is graduating with a Masters in Finance even though he will still be in the middle of taking finals when he should be walking to get that pretty little diploma. You are a fox and I love you.


Happy FRIDAY, friends! It's here! It's here!
Have a great one!

Due Date.



{Skirt: Kohls 9.99, Tank: ROSS 4.99, Cardi: OLD. Way. I think it used to be S's even.} 


Yep. It's here.
And is there any sign of baby boy? Nuh uh.

It's cool though. It would be a crying shame to give up waddling at this stage in the game when I have just gotten so freaking good at it, perfected the art of the waddle, even. So go ahead, baby. Stay in there. I'll just be here, getting my waddle on while you cook and cook.

In other news, if anyone out there knows any labor-inducing dances or spells,
now would be the time to perform them. Like, RIGHT now. Thx.

Happy Due Date day!
{...said NO sane pregnant woman ever, but we are trying to stay positive here, so go with it.}
