We're Waiting For You, Baby Girl

This upcoming Sunday I'm so excited to be attending the baby shower my mother, grandmother and wonderful family friend Nancy are throwing for my cousin's wife, Kate. Patrick and Kate will welcome their (undoubtedly) beautiful little girl next month and I can't wait to meet her (and find out what her name will be)! In the meantime, I'm so excited to see what heartbreakingly adorable goodies everyone will bestow upon the impending bundle of joy!

If money were no option then this nursery would be lovely for a little girl. The palest of pink walls, antique cane back chair and pretty white crib are sweet and soothing, while the flowered pendant light is a genuine show stopper. Nurseries should be just as stylish and creative as the rest of any decor lover's home and this room is perfect for any budding girly girl.

I can't wait to see you, little one!

Smile of the Day~ Halloween

I'm not really a Halloween person. I mean, I like the candy (a lot) but that's about it. I don't start dreaming up my costume months in advance and I usually work the night of anyways (as I do this year). However, this photo brought a smile to my face and I have to admit that if I had a little one (or when I do, years from now) this costume is absolute, adorable genius! How sweet is this?! Lobster anyone? 

New Life

The next generation is beginning. 

There is going to be new life in my family and I couldn't be happier. My beautiful cousin is going to be the most wonderful of mothers~ she is kind, thoughtful, patient, nurturing. Her husband, my first cousin, I have known since birth~ we were born a month apart and our parents were inseparable when we were babies. How lovely that now he will have a baby of his own. This is the first new life to be brought into our family in our generation so it is amazingly exciting. Congratulations, my beautiful cousins! I can't wait to meet your sweet little one!
