Hi friends – just checking in from baby-land! It’s been five weeks since we welcomed our little guy and needless to say, our world has certainly been twisted upside down! It was pretty surreal to celebrate my first Mother’s Day! As you may have seen here, we escaped to wine county with the wee one this week! It was bliss. I’ll be sharing a full recap including our stunning vacation rental and what I quickly learned about traveling with a newborn quite soon. And while I’m still mired in the new baby haze, that doesn’t mean we don’t have a lot going on behind the scenes .I’m slowly beginning to remember my own name after all. MAJOR progress has been made on the remodel of our Victorian – it’s a good thing I can search for light fixtures during 3am feeds – so I’ll be sharing updates and we’ve totally reconfigured the loft so I figure you’d want a sneak peek of that as well. In the meantime, we’ve got some great inspiration for summer {yes, I just said SUMMER!} coming next week.

In the meantime, here are some favorites that helped me stay awake this week!!

> Since I’ve had nursery design on my mind, this is a fantastic modern version for a girl. And this might possibly be the ultimate dream nursery.

> We’ve been seeing this sweet potato sammy making the rounds on Pinterest and we’re dying to test out the recipe.

 > And how perfect would it be to eat a meal like that at this vibrant but simple table setting?

 > You can never have enough art especially when it’s THIS cool and affordable.

> It’s no secret we lurrrve marble and so when we came across this piece of wrist candy we did a digital double-take.

> This interview is full of online business takeaways like predict how social media is going to change and get a head start on the game.

And JCrew is having yet another sale – 25% OFF!  I think these beauties just might have to come to mama!
