I can't stop it - come with me

I started Instagram a bit ago but wasn't ready to figure it all out. Now it is a full on every 5 min check-in addiction. I can't help it. So much fun to see people out and about in their worlds and the gorgeous ways they capture it. And now with the New Year and a sweet little January photo challenge I am hooked. If you are on already look me up!!! and if you're not...Get on!!!!

This belly of mine makes seeing all my new Christmas shoes hard to see.

My sweet family to date. Look at my short hair. Oh brother! Getting it cut tomorrow. Who knows what this pregnant brain will ask for.

5 days into January. Not too late for you join in! I'd love to see what you come up with!! And chances are some of your other favorite bloggers are already instagram-ing.

Hucklebones. I can see clearly now.

Everyday I spend a little to a lot of time dreaming about my little girl. Who will she be? What will she dream about? And lots of times, what will she wear?
I was a very lucky girl growing up. Of course I did not know to what extent until I was faced with making my choices. Now as I dream and shop for my someday baby girl I remember my mom dressing me in fashions from France and the hottest trends she had read about in Vogue. I had edgy cool hair cuts all because of her. She taught me to play with my clothes and be inventive. She would design and sew my halloween costumes from scratch from Marilyn Monroe to a fuzzy Ewok. My love for clothes, textures, styles and trends all come from her. So, you can see I have a lot to pass on to this little girl and yet at the same time be just as patient as my mom was with me when this little girl has her own inventions and isn't interested in mine.

But until she can dress herself I may just be dressing her in Hucklebones from London.

It's a......

We are over the moon to announce we are having a girl! A real live baby girl!!!
Let the glitter and tulle rain down on us!!!

Which wood you like?

How kickass are these wooden teething toys? Even if you don't have a baby these would look super cool on you shelf or in your own mouth. I know I could use a teething toy every now and again.

He's got baggage but I like it

Sometimes I get nervous that you lovely readers will kill me for posting baby stuff all the time but then I have to tell myself "It's ok! I am having a baby!"
So I hope you see these posts as things to make note of for yourself later or maybe you already know a bunch of baby/kid stuff and should be sharing it with me! I would love to learn from you too.


Today I love this bag.

It is not a diaper bag but can't any bag be a bag for whatever you need it to be? How cool would a daddy be with strapped across one shoulder and a baby wrapped around the other? I am digging it. from Fossil.

I am back! with News!

Life has been busy busy busy and only promises to get even more.

Potschi and I are havin' a baby!!!!!

I am 14 weeks along and enjoying this nutty nutty roller coaster.

This Tunes on Tuesday is dedicated to my husband. xoxox

Snap it!

I am so totally in love with this. I want my someday baby in it and I want one in my size too. I would never take it off of either of us. Only thing is Bobo Choses is Sweden based. now what?

My mexican granny

If I had a little girl I think I would dress her like either an art gallery show hobo or a little Mexican granny. More on the hobo at some other point. The Mexican granny would have her closet furnished easily by Pink Chicken Show.

Pretend almost kid - Baby Bumpin' version

Melissa and her first baby, Everly

I am not pregnant yet (though trying is quite fun) but that doesn't stop me from tooling around the baby blogs. Dear Baby has to be my favorite. From her cloth diapering thoughts to home birthing ideals to her fantastic adorable and always brilliant baby bump style - She is baby bumpin' fo realz and I like pretending I am her in my mind.

My plan is to copy all her looks when I have a bump of my own. But let's not fool any one I would strap a belt under my boobs and over my belly now if people wouldn't make fun of me.

Check out Dear Baby for great posts and great fashion and one of the coolest hippest family around.
