Another long holiday weekend, that is! This weekend was good to us. Family bbq in the backyard, lots of swim time, healthy check-up for Kelsey, home projects completed, movie with great friends … but most importantly, Ryan and I had baby girl all to ourselves for the three-day weekend. #blessed.

The Inspirational Hat: Motivational Monday
You know I love quotes: inspirational quotes, motivational quotes, memorable quotes. This is a quote that I really love. Put this quote in your back pocket and reach for it the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed. When I became a mother, one of my first Facebook status’ read, “You don’t think you can. And then […]
The Summer Hat: Honey, I scared the kids.
Yesterday was a fun day. It started with an adventure to Lowes to pick out bathtubs, sinks, faucets, toilets … all that “fun” stuff for a bathroom renovation. Then, we drove to Dan & Hillary’s for some fun in the sun with the kiddos. . These three amigos were hilarious to watch. They just gave each other […]
The Mom Hat: Photo of Sleeping Beauty
Watching a baby sleep is like enjoying the calm before the storm. Soothing, but you sit on pins and needles waiting for the moment they awake and start to shake up your world. Here is our precious angel, sound asleep in the backseat of the car as we drove to the family cabin last weekend (this sight […]
The Fashion Hat: How to Pronounce Ralph Lauren
Are you ready for a random fashion fact? I used to work for Michael Kors, so you can quote me on this: The way you properly pronounce Ralph Lauren is to say Ralph Lore-IN. Just like a girl’s first name (my sister-in-law’s name, to be exact). You do not pronounce it Lor-WREN, as in Sophia […]
The Traveling Hat: If You Were a Bug
If you were a bug who sat on my shoulder all day, here is what you would have done: You would have arrived at the airport bright and early, boarded a flight to San Diego and arrived at the fabulous US GRANT Hotel for a marketing meeting. . Then, you would have checked into The Westin Gaslamp for […]
The Design Hat: Knock. Knock.
I want to meet this person. The person who paints their door lime green. The person who proudly displays wine on their counter and the person who loves black and white prints as much as I do. I want to meet the fabulous person behind this lime green door. . Image from lovecreativerooms.blogspot.com
The Parenting Hat: My Own Advice
I took my own advice today. As seen in the post below, it’s a sweet reminder for parents (heck, for everyone) to stop, drop and enjoy the little things in life. So, last night – after dinner and before bathtime, Kelsey and I went outside to water the flowers. Ryan followed us and took the hose […]
The Culinary Hat: Vanilla-Crusted French Toast
This is how I feel about cooking. Image from scatteredimpressions.wordpress.com I’m not that good at cooking (but I have about three cute aprons that suggest otherwise). Lately, with a little hard work and practice, I’ve been getting better at it. Especially breakfast (thanks to my mother-in-law). . I’ll share a recipe she gave me for some […]
