10 Really Good Looking High Chairs that are also Safe and Functional (and convertible!)
We have had the Ikea Antilop High Chair for 8 years now--the same $20 high chair has almost got us through all three of our girls. And before recently, it has served us perfectly. Even though the tray is impossible to take off and there's quite a bit of room between the tray and little baby […]

My Maternity Must-Haves
We're in the final stretch! I'm a little over 33 weeks, but measuring 3 weeks ahead--which kind of means nothing, but is also giving my a little bit of hope I need to get through these last weeks. We're crossing our fingers for a July baby girl, although still looking forward to that August 4th […]

We're Having A...!
Dress sold out (similar) I snapped this photo on Sunday afternoon, the day before we went in for our ultrasound. Besides my little bump, you can also see our house on a normal day, with little dolls strewn about and a jacket wearing the furniture. I was feeling very anxious that day. Even though we were 18 weeks into […]

A DIY Baby Gate
When we moved into our first home, Greta was about 14 months old and we used one of those cheap baby gates for a brief period of time--maybe a month?--before she got the hang of the stairs. I was so happy to put that thing away! Now, Faye is 8 months old and getting very […]

What's In My Diaper Bag?
This post is sponsored by Oyster. Before Faye came along, we talked about our diaper bag here. Good news--Chris and I both still love it. I find it incredibly fascinating to see what people have in their purses, and since this bag has become my purse for the past 6 months, today, I am dumping it […]

Nursery Mood Board: If Faye were a Boy
I recently found a private pinboard I completely forgot about. It was the start of a nursery for a little baby BOY! I started it before we found out Faye was a little girl and I was so certain we were going to have a boy. Ha! So much for intuition. We couldn't be happier […]

Some Great! (and a couple not-so-great) Children's Books
When we showed Faye's room last week, a few of you (it may have been on Instagram) asked about what books we're loving these days especially when you saw the book ledges in her room. We have children's books spread out in three or four different places in the house--in the nursery, there's a stack […]

Faye's Nursery Reveal!
We finally finished the nursery and are excited to share a lot of photos with you today! It's hard to believe we started working on the this room back in December and here we are five months later with a one month old. This room is a great mix of DIY projects (like the huge […]

Our Little Faye is Here!
A week early and a little unprepared (my water broke in the middle of the night!), Monday we became a family of four. Chris and I rushed around the house at 3am showering, packing a hospital bag, and making arrangements for his mom to come stay with Greta. We made it to the hospital […]

It's A....
Last Wednesday morning, at just over 20 weeks, we went in for our anatomy ultrasound for our little bebe. It happened to also be my birthday. Total happenstance. I always have my appointments on Wednesday morning, but what better day to find out if we would be adding a little boy or girl to our […]

Our Miracle of Miracles
When Greta was 9 months old, we decided we wanted to give her a sibling. And when she turned 2, she started asking for one herself. At last, 3 1/2 years later, the stars have aligned and our family is expanding. We couldn't be happier--or more surprised (sometimes when something doesn't happen for so long, […]
