So, two things happened this past weekend. On a large – nearly nationwide – scale, we sprung our clocks forward and yep lost an hour of sleep, but gained sunlight for an extra hour each evening. I count down the minutes to Daylight Saving like a kid on Christmas except the magic of this transition…

loving this photo of the three of us captured this past weekend. writing this post in "real time" this morning. returning home from a five days away. appreciating a good nights sleep in our own beds like you would not believe. unpacking suitcases. packing up your print orders. believing in magic for sure and… feeling so…

Paul has next week off from work so we are adventure bound starting tomorrow. I am pretty thrilled about it. These past few days have been a whirlwind of work to get ahead so I can properly shut down the computer. I can't believe I'm 29 tomorrow. This past year was the most jam-packed it's…

Hooray! My business baby is out in the world. Feels GOOD. I've got a long way to go. But something that I have learned is that with time management skills and a passion for what you're doing, "work" doesn't feel like "work." I've been scheming and planning for months and this project (while huge!) is…

Ellerie had her first stomach bug this week and it was just awful for all three of us. I spent most of yesterday doing laundry and feeling nervous that it would return, but it seems like we're all clear. To celebrate we're signing off early and catching up on cuddles and sleep. This weekend, Paul…

planning for our backyard veggie garden. going all out this year with big planter boxes. becoming addicted to second-hand shopping. watching old episodes of Parks & Rec. reading Her Fearful Symmetry. celebrating that Ellerie is seven months old already. loving our Ergo carrier for easy transport. eating a ton of crockpot meals from this cookbook.…

Safe to say 2014 is off and running. Ellerie can sit and is cutting teeth like a pro. Paul is working nutty hours and still coming home upbeat. I've got more sharpie-d lists than I know what do to with. The only person who didn't get the memo is my laptop who I think is…

My new go to breakfast is cooked quinoa. I make a big batch at the beginning of the week and then reheat with a bit of milk every morning. I throw in a bit of honey, cinnamon, sliced almonds & banana. It's like oatmeal, but so much more filling. So far, very much enjoying celebrating…

Three cheers for a new year. On a whim, I decided to document my mornings in 2014. Very un-official. Very hashtag-able (#eliselovesmornings). Just a photo a day shared on (what else?) Instagram. This book is still one of my favorite creative books and totally inspired this project. I doubt I'll get 365 photos, but maybe…

Signing off for a few days to enjoy some time with Paul and Ellerie. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas! p.s. Santa delivered my minnetonka mocs early and I'm obsessed. Size down one full size and give them a wear or two around the house to properly stretch to your feet. You will…
