This weekend started out with a very rainy Saturday, but it was good for us because I had baskets upon baskets of laundry to take care of.
I made sure to have plenty of time to make faces at this little guy.
I caught up on some magazine reading.
When the rain stopped for a bit I ran out to run a couple of errands. Loved wearing my new elephant scarf that I picked for $8 at a shop called Payhalf that’s my dirty little secret and then happily saw that Anthropologie was selling it too for $48!
We finished up Hudson’s rocking chair with a high gloss protective coat and it was ready for the living room.
I had a good mail day with wallpaper samples arriving:
Plus one of my favorite photos got supersized!
On Sunday we had a nice breakfast and enjoyed some mini croissants from Traders Joe.
Plus some eggs courtesy of Hudson’s great mixing skills.
{He is not a fan of photos lately. Every time he sees me take out my iphone or camera he screams, “No photos, no cheese!}
After breakfast we threw all responsibilities like putting away laundry out the window and we headed out to the beach!
Asher and I enjoyed some cuddles:
While Hudson and Jon did some fishing:
When we got back I finished up a cakeI was making for my sister’s birthday.
I added a little banner made out of two wooden skewers, string and decorative tape.
Here is a peek at the inside:
{It was amazing! The toasted marshmallow frosting was beyond!}
Before we ate the cake we did enjoy a late lunch/early dinner out and Asher wore the cutest outfit. Hello yellow pants and blue checkered shirt!
Our wild weekend ended up with Hudson and Asher seeing who was taller. Hudson loved standing next to him and allowed me to take all of the photos I wanted with smiles!

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 […]
