Excuse Me While I Pack...

Excuse the absence while I pack...Anyone have some helpful packing tips or words of motivation for me?? Having traveled a lot over the past few years I've developed the unfortunate habit of avoiding packing at all costs! It annoys me..there are so many piles, and options, annd what if I forget something?? I'm off to wallow in my packing sorrows, but will be back tomorrow with some of my favorite travel tips!

Monday Pick-Me-Up

Happy Thanksgiving week, friends! I came across this little reminder and found it fitting to share. With thankfulness on the mind it is important to remember that even the smallest actions, if filled with love, can leave a lasting impact on those around us. So go out and love, be thankful, and have a wonderful day!

Meet Baby Boone

Yesterday I got to meet Baby Boone! He is so tiny and adorable..and completely has my heart. Despite being born 7 weeks early he is doing really well--eating, breathing on his own, and making oh-so-adorable faces! I'm so in love...

L (aka Mommy) on the left, our friend M in the middle, and I'm on the right!

It's a Boy!

Hi, loves! Apologies for being m.i.a. yesterday, but it was for the most exciting reason EVER...L had her baby!  Although Baby B arrived arrived 7 weeks early, both L and baby are happy and healthy--such a blessing! Pictures of my adorable little nephew will be on the way soon :)

Monday Pick-Me-Up

Happy Monday, friends! Did you all have a nice weekend? I hope that answer is a, "yes!"...I had a very lovely weekend surrounded by some dear friends. They're the type of friends that you can sit around with and not really do much of anything, but still have the most wonderful time. At one point, during what turned out to be a very warm Saturday, we decided to venture out on some local trails. It felt absolutely amazing to step out and get a little fresh (and warm) air which made this this reminder pop into my mind...

Thursday Love List

Happy Thursday, dearies! Here's your weekly dose of a few my favorite things...

What have you all been loving this week?

1. I just love these cream Marc by Marc Jacobs logo disc studs . They're so simple, clean, and cute!

2. With my upcoming trip on my mind, I've had my eyes on this Kate Spade tudor city passport holder. I think it would add the perfect touch to my travels! 

3. I featured this J. Crew cashmere purl-stitch snood in my post on Tuesday and I'm oh-so-in-love with it! Some kind person out there needs to purchase this comfy piece for me!
