Let it snow!
I am in love with winter. About four hours after I took these pictures, it started to snow. One of my husband’s cousins (cousin-in-law?) commented that people from the west coast are weird when I expressed my excitement about it, but hey: when it basically usually just rains all winter, snow is EXCITING! I have learned three things so far during this Dressember challenge/fundraiser: one, I tend to get more motivated to take outfit pictures the more often I take them; two, I really am not used to scheduling posts so far ahead; and three, if you get the proportions right, you can wear anything. For the first one, I’ve…

Dollface
Oh, my goodness, it is COLD. When I took these pictures on Wednesday, I was only outside for about fifteen minutes. But by the time I got done, my fingers were so cold I could barely move them, I had goosebumps all over, and my nose had started to run from the bite of the wind. I absolutely love this weather, though! It’s been so beautifully sunny and frosty, and the world just sparkles every time I go outside! I’m so proud of myself this week for having taken daily pictures. I think participating in Dressember has been really helpful; now, I won’t miss a chance to go out and…

Put a Belt on It
All day yesterday, while I was writing up the post on how to thrift and date vintage clothing, I had “Put a Ring On It” going through my head, only I was singing “If you liked it then you shoulda put a belt on it!” over and over and over again. I probably said this, but I’ve pretty much decided “Put a belt on it” is my fashion motto. You’ve probably already noticed I belt pretty much everything, and I think belting it is the one thing everyone can do. Whether you belt it high or low, putting a belt on it adds visual interest and usually creates a waist…

Pink Blush Maternity review and Giveaway (CLOSED)
Today, I am typing on five hours of sleep and not enough coffee, so forgive me if I get to rambling! I am pretty sure it’s going to be one of those days where I find myself doing lots of amusing things, like putting the juice away in the dish cupboard, or typing out whatever I’m listening to instead of the rest of my sentence. But, when you’re pregnant and you wake up having to pee right at the time your husband usually gets up, it’s really hard to go back to sleep. Especially when you hear the coffee pot going. I was sent this dress a few days ago…

Maroon, love, and baby names
If you missed it on Instagram yesterday, I posted baby Owl’s first and middle initials, which are A and R, to see what people would guess his name was going to be. My favorite guesses were Atticus Rex, Aragorn Romulus, and my friend who said “The scientific name of the Unspotted Saw-Whet Owl is Aegolius Ridgwayi. Guys… I figured it out” And, of course, with Mr. Owl’s family, as soon as we gave the initials one of his sisters guessed the first name right away, and I discovered that my husband does NOT have a poker face. He turns bright red. It’s pretty funny! But his actual name is Asa…
