Maternity/Family Photos

Happy New Year everyone!  It’s still January, so technically I think it still applies.

We took these photos at the beginning of December for our holiday cards and it was literally freezing outside.  I think it was 20 degrees and we were so so cold.  You can tell by Carter’s little chapped nose.  Don’t worry we kept having him go to the car for warm ups after short spurts of taking pictures.  It was not the easiest photo session because we had to wake him up from too long of a nap, get him dressed and then stick him in the car to drive about 30 minutes from our house, which made him really crabby.  Plus, he was so upset that there were no animals on the “farm”.  He no joke talked about it for six weeks after we took these photos.  So notes to moms:  be careful where you choose to take family photos!  I had no idea this would be such an issue.

Kitchen Renovation

May I present our newly renovated kitchen!  Scott and I are definitely still in the “Do we really live here?!?” phase.  We’re very happy with the results.  And I’m so glad because mid-reno, when we were on our fifth week of being gypsies with a toddler and in the fourth house we were staying in, I couldn’t see an end in sight and I thought we had lost our minds.  Carter did his time sleeping in a pack-n-play, and we cleaned someone else’s house each week before we packed up and moved on to the next.  But now that the dust has settled, and so have we, I realize that it was all worth it and I would do it again.  I believe that loving your home is important and I’m so grateful to come home to our newly updated kitchen and my family each night.

We attended a black tie wedding this past weekend at one of my favorite hotels in Denver, The Brown Palace.  (You may have seen the classic hotel on the blog before, as it’s the hotel that holds the annual Champagne Cascade, each year to kick off the holiday season.)  I love a good reason to dress up… and Zach and Michelle’s winter wedding was the perfect excuse to really go for it!

Floral Frocks - Spring 2018

As I mentioned in my previous post, we booked a vacation to somewhere beachy and I’m dreaming of warmer climates.  So although it may be a little early, in fact there is snow falling outside my window as I type this, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite floral frocks for Spring.  Some which already hang in my closet, some that are lingering in my online shopping carts, and some that I just truly appreciate but will probably never have a chance to wear.  I’m looking at you #5.  Honestly, if my bank account could sustain it, I’d buy them all!  Floral is such a feminine staple and I love to see how designers reinvent it over and over again each season.  See my top picks for some Spring 2018 floral dresses.

*Dresses that admittedly are already in my closet!

These pictures were taken just this weekend and now there is snow on the ground again.  We’ve had a pretty mild winter here in Denver, but man am I ready for Spring!  We are headed to Australia in just over a month and I am seriously counting down the days until we take off!!!!  42 days and counting!  But we do have a lot of fun things going on before we are off to the Land Down Under, so I’m trying to enjoy everything as it comes and not wish time away.

The holidays may be over, but that doesn’t mean the pretty clothing has to go by the wayside!  Winter wardrobes can start to feel a bit drab when the cold weather persists, but adding some embellishments to your basics is an easy way to update your look.

The Year We All Turned 30

Wedding Kickoff

Girlfriends are a necessity and I’ve been fortunate to have a core group of friends built in since high school, and one of those girls has been my best friend since elementary school.  I also found an equally amazing group of fun-loving girls in college that I’ve continued to be close to even though we’re all scattered across the country.  Since 2017 was a milestone year as most of us turned thirty, I thought it would be fun to reflect on what a great trip around the sun it was and how much I love these girls.

(The picture above is actually from the kick-off party to our wedding weekend!  It was so much fun having my friends, old and “new”, together by my side for all of our wedding events.  This picture was taken almost four an a half years ago and I’m happy to report that each of these women are still dear friends.  I am just so grateful for my squad.)

I recently picked up this cutout choker sweater dress in grey and it’s the perfect go-to for the season.  It’s cozy with an interesting neckline and the short hemline makes it perfect to pair with over-the-knee boots.
