Hope you all had a lovely weekend! We had a weekend full of celebrations. I turned 31 at the end of the week and got to enjoy some beautiful peonies that Jon and Hudson got for me.
So excited to share my birthday gift, but it’s not ready yet. I’m having some new nightstands designed for our bedroom. Surprising to probably no one is that they are going to be orange!
I think all of my family knows me a little too well, because I was gifted two of these handbags for my birthday:
{Now that I’m on WW all I want to do is eat cake for breakfast, but I don’t and this week I lost another 1.2 pounds of the baby weight! }
On Sunday I had the lovely treat of celebrating my 1st Mother’s day! Last year on Mother’s day we were telling our family about our impending new addition and this year I woke up to this:
My sister in London sent me lovely flowers in celebration of my first’s Mother’s day, which promptly went into the owl vase birthday day gift she sent me.
My parents gifted me a sweet picture of me with my parents when I was a baby and a request to take a similar picture with Hudson. Sort of similar to the pictures they take at Young Me, Now Me.
My sister gifted one of my favorite things from the weekend! A nameplate necklace with my sweet little man’s name!
Jon’s family also know the way to a lady’s heart and arrived with flowers and chocolates in head for my first Mother’s day! Everyone really went above and beyond for my 1st Mother’s day and it was awfully sweet.
The sweetest gift had to be this though:
{That section of black paint is Hudson’s little hand print. He wouldn’t open his hand for Jon so it’s his little fist. So cute. }
I was wiped after all of the celebrating! Today though we have a little event to celebrate as well, because my sweet boy turned 5 months!
{Look at that face! He is so sweet. I just want to hit pause with him, because this all going by so fast!}
I hope you were all able to have a lovely weekend! If you were a mom I hope you enjoyed a day of honored. If you are a daughter/son I hope you got to treat your mom’s to a little something.
I really enjoyed hanging out with the family and celebrating motherhood!
OMG your son is gorgeous!!! It looks & sounds like you had a fantastic 1st Mother’s Day!!! Such beautiful and thoughtful gifts! Happy Belated Birthday too =)
Happy belated birthday! Mine was Friday; a great month for birthdays! Your son is adorable and I love the “eat cake for breakfast” bag. I almost single handedly devoured my birthday cake this weekend. Hadn’t thought about having it for breakfast. I’ll keep that in mind for next year! 🙂
So glad you felt so celebrated and loved on Mother’s Day! I couldn’t help but notice that fabric behind the sweet card Hudson made for you–would love to know the source! Thanks so much!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
