he misses me when i’m gone

antlers: restoration hardware// lamps: target// bed: crate & barrel// nightstands: crate & barrel (similar)

I just got home from a couple days in Vegas with my mom and cousin. Three days and two nights away from my baby scared me. But I stayed so busy shopping and eating that it went by faster than I thought it would! And while I had the best time on a break with the girls, I sure was happy to come home to my boys. The best part of all was ringing the doorbell when I got home to be greeted by my smiling baby shouting “mama mama mama!!” And then I just melted on the floor into a puddle. He didn’t forget me! He maybe even missed me a little, even if he was with his favorite parent for a few days. I did find a few great things I had to buy in Vegas including these shoes, and this backpack in a matte metallic color. Now it’s back to our life of cars, and coloring, and books, and it’s my favorite thing on the planet.

floor time with my boy.

button up: mindy mae’s market c/0// jeans: current/elliott

We’ve been spending a lot of time outside or by our back door watching our landscape go in. Beau loves the tractors and tells me over and over again “yellow tractor!” And of course he usually has his own cars in his hands. He likes one in each hand and he knows exactly which ones he wants. They have names, which is usually just their color, unless it’s “queen” meaning Lightning McQueen. I can’t even tell you how many times I get him strapped in the car when he screams “WHITE WHITE WHITE”, which of course means if I don’t get his white truck he will scream the entire drive wherever we are going. It’s just precious right? But really to see the joy, and to hear the squeals of excitement when he gets that white truck is just the best thing there is.

mother’s day

skirt: old (similar)// belt: asos// shoes: nordstrom// choker: asos

This was my 2nd mother’s day with my Beau. I still sometimes can’t believe I’m a mother to a nearly 2 year old. The fact that I’m responsible for this little person and all of his needs and happiness is overwhelming at times. But it’s what I’ve dreamed of doing since I was a little girl, and it’s even more of a dream than I pictured. I love being this boys mom! There are moments that are grueling, so hard that I’m brought to tears, and piling frustration. But it’s all worth it when I look at his face, when he randomly gives me a snuggle or a smooch. He is my world. I hardly remember life before him! How grateful I am to be given the amazing gift of motherhood. And to my own mother…..how I love her so.

Here’s to a happy week.

babies and buns

We are super sad the weekend is over already. Dad going back to work all day always bums us out over here. But this week is going to be a good one with lots of time spent outside, plus we get a fence for our yard and that makes us even happier. I love the month of May because that means summer is almost here, and we really love summer. Except for the fact that this baby turns TWO next month and that makes me a little sad. Or a lot sad. So I get one more month of my little one year old baby before people consider him a “toddler”. Even though he’s been toddler size since about 18 months. To me he’s my squishy baby boy who I’ll squeeze forever, or until he fights himself free.

a boy in red boots

t-shirt: target// suspender shorts: h&m// boots: amazon

I’m sad to say that this boy is growing out of his red cowboy boots. Every time he wore them it made me smile. Especially paired with daisy dukes. You can tell from these pictures how rapid his mood changes lately! One second he is subdued, the next he is jumping on the bed and never happier, then it’s pouting. He gives me a run for my money on a daily basis, but it’s the best thing in the world. He will be 2 in June and I get sad every time I think about it. He is so smart and grown up, and insists on feeding himself because “I am big” he says. Yes, you are big baby boy. Too big, too fast.

a baby in jeans and no shirt.

turban: mandy tangerine c/o// dress: mindy mas’s market c/o

Is there anything better than a baby in jeans without a shirt? Oh my sweet boy sure keeps me on my toes every day. He is constantly learning new dangerous tricks like climbing up and down the bar stools or climbing shelves in the pantry to reach a pack of m&m’s. I swear I watch him carefully but he can be sneaky! I love him so much. This age is so busy and fun and I’m loving every second of being his mom. Maybe minus the dramatic tantrums he throw from time to time 😉

Happy Wednesday, I hope you’re having the best week.

a little about my better half

Since it was my Blake’s 34th birthday last week I wanted to talk a little about him. These photos are about 2 years old, but some of my very favorites I’ll always cherish. I was actually pregnant with Beau in these but it was super early so I wasn’t showing yet! For his bday we went on a date just the two of us to dinner and a movie. It was so nice to get some time together without accommodating to our little guy. Blake is my favorite person on earth. He makes me laugh every day, is the best dad to our baby, works so hard for his family, and loves us so much. I could go on about all of his great qualities. Plus he is super sweet when it comes to the things I want to do. I have so many ideas for decorating our house like Chip and Joanna, and he just shakes his head sweetly saying how we need to do these things slowly because it’s SO expensive to decorate a house. Like I said, he takes care of us and makes sure I don’t spend all our money on shiplap and antique home decor. 😉 Happy 34 years my Blake, I love you bud.

brin & bell

jewelry: brin & bell c/o (wishbone, skinny bar, letter bracelet) // shirt: j crew// hat: target (men’s section) similar// photos: ali micek

Yay for Friday! Hooray we are so happy the weekend is here. Today is my husband’s 34th birthday and I am so excited to take him out tonight to celebrate! My mom is watching the baby and we are having a child free night together. We don’t get many of those so I’m excited! I am going to blog about him and his birthday next week because he’s so amazing. Speaking of amazing……this dainty jewelry has been on me since I got it. I was so excited to partner up with Brin & Bell and snag a few gems. My “B” bracelet for my Beau or Blake ;), and I wear this wishbone necklace practically every single day.

Happy Friday, xo.

mae woven

photos: ali micek// dress: mindy mae’s market// towel: mae woven c/o

These photos have some of my favorite things together….my baby, this dress, and this towel. My new friend has a shop called mae woven with the cutest pillows, towels, and bags. When she sent us this towel I was instantly in love. I not only use it as Beau’s bath towel but it hangs in my bathroom 24/7 because it’s just so pretty. And also this dress….. you really need it. I hope you’re having a great week so far!

friyay

We are so happy it’s Friday over here. Blake had to go out of town this past week for work, which happens like once a year. Every single time I dread it. It’s not because I have to be a single mom for a few days, because really my baby is such a good boy for me mooooost of the time. But I just really miss HIM. So hooray for him being home and all of us back in our beds (Beau and I stayed at my parents while Blake was gone). And since Blake was gone on Sunday night I had to wait until Wednesday night to watch the season finale of The Walking Dead. Does anyone watch it? I am a HUGE fan, but this season just did nothing for me. Except for staring at Daryl Dixon I just haven’t been impressed. And the season finale was really only good the last 7 minutes of the total 90 minutes. So here’s hoping that gets better next season.

Anyway, happy weekend! We will be playing outside in the warmth.
