Happy Friday

Love this photo taken at a friend's birthday party with a REAL polaroid camera (nope, no instragram here).  It says it all.  Although I sort of feel like there is some role reversal going on.  Shouldn't Scott and I be the ones yawning? Read more

L’atelier Des Cousins

I'd like to introduce you to my newest Etsy find, L'Atelier des Cousins.   Elisabet and Cristina are Barcelona natives and have a beautiful line of well priced pillows for adults and kids alike.  Not that I'm thinking about baby number two, but some of these would be adorable in a little girl's room.An added bonus: Eagle Nest Readers get 20% off their purchase with discount code TEN01.  Read more

Workwear Essentials

As you can see from the previous post, Bryan is quite a cutie. It's hard to leave him behind and go back to the cruel reality of work.  But there's no getting around it.  A cute work casual outfit is the perfect pick-me-up for the 8 hours away from little Bryan.[1] Banana Republic Faceted Drop Earring[2] Modcloth Upwardly Mobile Satchel[3] Modcloth Downtown Diner Jacket[4] Banana Republic Enameled...

The New Fridge

I guess my parents got so tired of our drawer-less fridge during their month long grandson visit that they decided a new fridge was overdue.  So thanks to Mom and Dad's holiday generosity, we got a fab new fridge that takes us one more step toward getting our kitchen in tip top shape.  Check out the disaster of the old fridge.Compared to the spaciousness and organization of the new one! Drawers! A... Read more

Guest Post: Full House, Getting Organized

First off, let me introduce you to Christina from Full House. Christina is a mother of 5, yes, I said FIVE. She has an amazing blog about design, her family, fashion etc. I'm not sure how she manages to be so stylish while tending to so many kiddos, but she does it all while fitting in home renovation and craft projects and fun outings for the kids. Today Christina is sharing some of her ideas on... Read more

Ummm….

If you only like positive posts, then you can stop reading now. Just a little fashion rant. The below Michael Kors bootie was featured in Elle this month. I'm generally an admirer of Michael Kors' easy classic style, but this just reminds me of some sort of Todd Oldham House of Style early 90's redux done on the fly with a pair of scissors and some old Doc Martins. I have finally come to... Read more

Baby Essentials

I was reading Oh Joy's guide to baby essentialsthe other day and decided to put together my own list of top 10 items. Everyone has their favorites when it comes to baby items, and I've found that in motherhood people tend to get hyper opinionated. Granted a lot of the time, you end up liking and swearing by the items that you already own and were given (It's not like you're going to go out and buy... Read more

Baby Gallery Wall

Our friend Natasha sent us the cutest little embroidered namesake memento for Bryan's nursery and it fit perfectly on the gallery wall over his changing table.  I had originally planned to put a baby footprint impression in that spot but said footprint didn't turn out as planned.  The embroidered hoop from Abigail Wilder's Etsy shop was the perfect item to finish off the collection.
