garland

We don't know yet if lil' Lewis is a boy or girl (we find out soon!),

but I have already begun searching for really cute decorations!

I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to hang some wall pennants & garland in my house.  

I think a baby room will be just the place.

Giraffe Wall Flag

Cotton Candy Pom Garland

Elephant Garland

Scalloped Fabric Garland

in case you were wondering...

"what should I get Summer for Christmas?" I made this handy list.

super cute blanket from West Elm

leopard print belt

love this!

Anthropologie

Don't worry: I'll make Baby Lewis a list too!

Monday Mood

Monday Mood: feeling cold.

I mean it's practically freezing in Houston (it is 50 degrees!).

I'm roaming around the house in a sweatshirt and my favorite fur-lined moccasins.

Who knows if I'll survive when we head off to St. Louis in a few days and cold west Texas for Christmas...

On a side note:

here's a cute pic of the 2 boys napping yesterday:

Also, sending out love, thoughts, and prayers to a friend in need right now.

empty room

This is our 3rd bedroom.  It is currently empty (except for a few unpacked boxes and Christmas presents).

Soon we will be turning it into this:

Let the decorating and shopping begin!

ps: June 3rd is the day!

Nutcracker Market

Holiday shopping begins today! I'm very excited to get some names crossed off my list (and maybe buy something for myself too...)

My sister K and I are headed off to the Nutcracker Market.  If you Houston people haven't been, you definitely to need to check it out!

Tons of vendors, boutiques, and stores all in one place- I'll definitely be packing my provisions (water, snacks, and comfortable shoes).

Happy shopping!

cheeky blogger

I've been a very bad, cheeky blogger.

My sister even told me I should be ashamed.

I am.  I really am...

But with the holidays around the corner, I'll have lots to blog about.

So stay tuned! More coming very soon..

Doing what he does best...lounging.
