Florida, pt. 2

Here are James’ pictures from the second half of our trip to Florida. While I was in Miami surrounded by a sea of blue hues (check my Instagram feed for proof), he and the girls reveled in boat rides, mini golf, trips to the play park and many a dinner out (complete with lemonade and chicken thumbs (as Sunny likes to call them)).

Since our return, we’ve been dreaming of that warm, humid air as the mucus in our noses freezes and threatens to suffocate us thanks to the -2 degree wind chill. Quite the welcome wagon, NEW ENGLAND.

Also, that face Kaki is making? That is the face that she makes with some frequency to express her general displeasure and annoyance with us silly adults. Envision an air bubble that reads, “I’m not amused. No, not in the least.”

My Mother’s Attic // 1

I’m thrilled to introduce my latest partnering with the lovely Marisa of New Dress a Day. I shared my tree skirt tutorial on her blog during the holiday season, and am excited to announce a monthly column aptly titled My Mother’s Attic wherein I shall be pulling pieces from my mother’s (grandmother’s and GREAT-grandmother’s) wardrobes and making them current. You can read all about the new column and see the full blow-by-blow (and story) about this rocking early-90s dress of my mom’s that I wore (remade) as my New Year’s Eve ensemble here.

 

New Year’s eve did indeed call for bed jumping. And champagne. Hope you enjoy my novice foray into sewing! Eep!
