We are on day 3 of a stomach bug over here. So far a lot better than day 2 but still on sluggish mode so I thought I'd throw up some pics to remind me how great last week was. We rented a house on the Cape for a week of slow paced days, afternoon rosé and cooking dinner with my love.
Getting to make memories and start traditions as a little family fills my heart to the brim and makes these yucky days so much better.
Hope you all are having a great week.

Hello my loves,
Hope you all had a great holiday weekend! It was a 4-day one for us, filled with dadda grilling (and trying out his new smoker!), mama making sides, lot's of play time for Zoe and even an Ikea trip. Low key and absolutely wonderful. One thing that has really changed since having Zoe (and now with a longer commute for O) is that we absolutely cherish our weekends. They may be ordinary to most but for this mama they are a reminder of how blessed I am.
Monday's are always hard on Zoe but especially after having dadda around for 4 days + she is battling some type of tummy virus = extra cuddles + elmo + popsicles.
Here are a few pictures from the weekend around here:
Ice Ice Ice + flower crown + cute dresses
fresh strawberry cake recipe testing is nottttt a bad thing.
sidewalk chalk + water table fun + the cutest tunic ever + the smile
Will be sharing this herb butter roasted corn next week because OMG it was good.
Rewarded with ice ice ice because she was so good at Ikea (she barely ate half but was so darn excited)
cutest little lady in stripes.
I've been starting my days with a super green smoothie to balance out the glass of vino after I put Z down...
Popsicles to hydrate post stomach virus + and squirmy kisses from mama.
My life is nothing special but extremely perfect.

Hello lovelies!
I have been meaning to write but since the move (was it relly two weeks ago yesyerday??) I have been elbow deep in unpacking, organizing and now painting. But we did it!!! We moved to the burns. Like the real burbs, where there were deer in our neighbors yard and turkey's in ours. And it is NORMAL around here.
Very different but in a really fabulous way. These next chapters of our lives are about this little human of ours and this move is exactly about that. about our girl. Watching her enjoy every inch of our house (especially the outdoors and swingset) reminds me at how blessed we are. I didn't have half of this growing up, so working hard to be able to give it to her means the world.
We've worked hard on getting the house unpacked and us back to a routine, which is why I have been MIA but I thought for now I'd share some pics of life lately and a peak of the before of the playroom!
Hunter rain boots on tiny humans has to be my favorite. ^
Picking out our new counters, most expensive weekend activity there is... Well that and buying a house....
First sink bath at the new house!
One of my sweetest most talented friends sent over some blood orange salt (fudge brownie recipe using it will be up soon!) and sage to burn in the new house.
Girl friend is loving a bigger pool!
So much strong coffee in these last two weeks + peonies from our sweet neighbor!
Early morning snuggles b/c GF has been getting up wayyyy too early.
Ice Coffee on the deck + watching her enjoy a lot more space = happy mama
cutest meow top there ever was (H&M)
Z with a mouth full of cheese + mama's uniform of a sundress and a hat, at our neighborhoods block party last week!
And below are some playroom BEFORE's (previous owners had it as a playroom too).
You can see on Instagram that I have already started painting the trim (during Z's naptime) and will share both my inspiration and more "during" pics next week!
Anywhooooo I have so much I want to share and hope to get back to my regular posting on here next week. Until then follow on IG or on Pinterest where you can see me pinning all my home ideas!
