This week brought back so many memories of when Otto was a newborn and I was desperate to get out of the house but we had to be careful because he was pre surgery and in heart failure. The farmers market always felt like (and was) a safe place for us to go. Every Wednesday […]

Spring is here and I’m slowly starting to put actual pants back on. It’s amazing how different and more productive you feel getting dressed in the morning even if it’s just to take a drive to get otto to take a nap. (The boy is so  stubborn he will only fall asleep on a perfectly […]

I don’t know what I’m supposed to be shopping for right now. Madewell is having 40% off almost the entire site (including sale) which is bringing some of my favorite items to less than $20. My absolute favorite blazer is on sale with an extra 40% and I’m debating if I need it in ALL […]

What a treat to be able to get away with your girlfriends! That is exactly what I did this past weekend when my friend Ashley and I teamed up with downtown Holland to experience the official “Girlfriends Weekend“.  We relaxed, we sipped mimosas and coffee and we shopped until we danced. (don’t worry we dropped […]

I wore this sequin tunic outfit out for an afternoon lunch with girlfriends only to return home with hands that look like they had lost circulation and were deep blue. That’s when I remembered I was wearing new indigo dyed jeans and the ink had essentially rubbed off all over my hands and legs. I […]

Did you know before Otto was Otto I was on a mad quest to name our baby Elton if it was a boy? Joe was very much against it and said he was not going to name our son after Elton John. No matter how many times I would try to persuade him it was […]

I am pretty sure that I have gotten the most wear from these pants than any other piece in my closet this season. see exhibit A.
