61 days of emery

I can’t believe another month with Emery has flown by so fast. Where did the last four weeks go? Today she got her two month shots and tomorrow I’m back to work. Next thing you know, I’ll be sending her off to college. So much has happened this month and I’m constantly amazed at how...

emery’s nursery

I’ve finally FINALLY finished Emery’s sweet little space. It took months of contemplating colors, cribs and furniture selections before I eventually put it all together for the princess. It was mostly complete by the time we packed our bags for the hospital, but a few details and waiting for the chair to arrive meant it...

duckies galore

On another of our walks around Lake Defuniak, Emery and I got plenty of fresh air, sunshine and even duck sightings. We don’t usually walk right by the water and I didn’t realize there were so many duckies around the lake! Next time I’ll have to bring bread crumbs…We took a note from the day...

Tracy gave us the sweetest, softest blanket I’ve felt yet, complete with Emery’s name embroidered...

Ordinarily, I am opposed to all things glitter. (Shimmer, an entirely different category, is not included.) I made an exception for my toes today since nail color is low commitment, and so far I’m loving it. A little sparkle for the toes is fun every once in a while!

the art of simple

Danielle and I stopped by Michael Granberry’s The Art of Simple gallery in Seaside during our playdate and I thought the place deserved its own post. One, because Hunter and his dad are pictured in Michael’s photo series of life in these parts and two, because the place was chock full of loveliness and perfect...

seaside playdate

I just love getting together with Danielle and sweet little Alexandra for our weekly playdates. I’m pretty sure the little ones have no clue they’re involved in any such playdate at this point. The outings are really just for us to enjoy, though we’re sure the girls are destined to be BFFs, naturally. This week...

one month down…

Well, we survived the month of April! We seem to still have our sanity, Emery is happy, healthy, and changing every day. While I’ve gotten noticeably less sleep than my pre-baby schedule, I really haven’t had many rough nights and certainly none that were completely sleepless. Emery must know how much I love my sleep...
