    First moments as a mama | Snuggling with his polar bear blanket at a few days old | Showing the world the meaning of “milk drunk | Displaying his usual face of skepticism | Being cute and sleepy | Cuddles | Squishy cheeks! (Could you resist? I think no.) | His reaction when I asked “should we get up now?” | Baby creases! The first smile I caught on camera. It melts me. Seriously. Itty bitty perfect fingers. Snug and swaddled! | Asleep in my favorite footie pajamas. I’m sad he doesn’t fit those any more! | Being generally perfect and asleep. | Going crosseyed. | First mama-baby outfit selfie!…

    My Week on Instagram

    The two biggest things of the week, obviously: I started writing again (and subsequently kept forgetting descriptive words and just marking my place with “WORD” so that I could go back and replace it. Hopefully I remember to actually do that…) and I went blonde. I am shocked by how big of a difference it made to go blonde! So many people didn’t recognize me. Because of the blonde-ness, I also updated my makeup routine. Which you can see in full here. I’m loving the new colors I can get away with now having blonde hair. It’s amazing how changing your hair color can open up  new possibilities that you wouldn’t have…

    Resolution #5

    I’m trying to keep up with the blog even though I have no computer except the work computer, so while I’m waiting for the money to buy a new laptop, I thought I’d take care of other things: specifically, one of my new year’s resolutions. In my new year post, I mentioned cultivating my blog shop, which I’ve had around for a little while now. I started it up just to get rid of some of my clothes that I think are too pretty to give to Goodwill just yet, but the more I put up, the more I realized how much I love styling and posting garments for other…

    New Year Wishes and Instagram Outfits

    I have been very faithfully recording my daily outfits on Instagram lately, so if you’re craving more outfits and I’m slow posting them to the blog, check on my Instagram, @owleccentric! I will be trying to make an insta-outfit pictures album on Facebook, but I can’t really do that until we get internet at my house. I have a few New Year’s resolutions now that we’re in the New Year and I’ve finished sharing my wedding pictures with you all, and since I didn’t do an official “Happy New Year!” post, I thought I’d do that now. So here they are. My new years resolutions. 1. Wear more/find more vintage…
