Friday Finds…
Here’s what caught my eye this week:
1. During a trip to Barnes & Noble with the boys I stumbled upon so many adorable kids books! My favorite had to be by Hello World. They have a NY book and then also a Paris, and London and San Francisco. The Amazing alphabet book was also super cute and the boys loved it. Great baby shower gifts if you are in need!
2. I have been eating Easter candy all week long! Seriously I think my breakfasts and lunches all week have been some sort of chocolate and jelly bean combo. So, I think this weekend I will need to start eating some salads instead and this one looks so good.
3. I need to figure out a way to work this playhouse into a new design project. It’s so cute!!! I love when I find kids items that are also pleasing to my designer eye.
4. The prettiest napkins I ever did see! I love picking up paper napkins. They always come in great patterns, they are relatively inexpensive and they work perfectly for styling instagram shots!
5. I was recently introduced to the blog, Kelly in the city and I must say that even though I just “met” her, and this is crazy, I totally want to give her my number and make her my new BFF. Have loved going thru her archives and her pregnancy announcement was just the cutest video! I seriously teared up watching it.

ON THE BLOG
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.
Those napkins… swoon!
Random question . . . do you pronounce your name “Ca-mee-la” or “Ca-mih-la?” Do you use any nicknames?
22 weeks pregnant and playing with baby names . . . thanks!
Hi Cassidy,
My name is pronounced Ka-mee-lah. So for a nickname people either call me Cam or Cami. I find that people in the US will just use Camila or Cam, but people from different countries like to go straight to Cami. I always thought if I had used Camila as a baby name myself that Mila would be a cute baby name.
The only other way people pronounce my name is Ka Mill a and really emphasize the MILL part, which isn’t the proper name to say my name.
There is a British variation of my name that is Camilla and with the double L then you really do need to emphasize the MILL part.
Hope that helps!
Thanks! It’s a lovely name, and I really like the “Mila” nickname.”
I hope you and your boys are feeling better!
