I cannot wait to reveal all that we have in store for you…but in the meantime I thought I would leave you with some words of wisdom from the oh so fabulous Ben Silbermann of Pinterest.

I have just listened to Ben’s keynote speech from Alt Summit and this really resonated with me…”Be close to the people that inspire you”. It really does make all the difference in the world when you surround yourself with like-minded creatives….happy inspired Thursday my lovelies!

I am always looking for unique, fun DIY craft ideas for baby showers, and this one is one of my favorites I have ever seen. Each guest had the chance to decorate a piece that would adorn the baby’s mobile! How adorable is that?

This was put on by such an amazing group of creatives and took place at The Collection Event Studio an amazing space for events like this!

Does this not make you want to do this right now!?

Thank you so much ladies for allowing me to share this today! Check out On to Baby for more details of this darling shower!

My husband and I usually spend valentines day at home. It doesn’t hurt that he is an amazing cook, so he usually cooks up something fabulous. But I get in on the cooking action too. One year, we each prepared 2 courses and revealed them with menus and all that night. Served with a bottle of wine we had picked up on a trip to Napa, it was pure perfection. Think about what you would truly enjoy as a couple, and make it happen. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but make it special!

I would love to hear what you guys are planning, or what you have done in the past! It’s always fun to hear. Another perfect idea I think…Breakfast in bed!

I have so often said to moms of multiple children that very thing “how do you do it with so many (or even two), I find it so hard with just one!”. This letter gives me hope that I could actually have another one day. I hope it inspires you as well to know that you are doing a great job, and we all have hard days. Happy Mom Monday my fellow mothers! xoxo

A few pics of my darling princess…notice her shirt!???
