Once upon a time I kept a binder/treasure chest/junk drawer full of clippings from just about everywhere you can imagine....newspapers, magazines, photos, cards, random notes I wrote... almost like a diary... kind of like a scrapbook... but a collection sentimental to me and things I didn't want to forget about like a cool new exercise, or the best place to shop for earrings, old candids, or the sweetest note my grandma wrote me.
Then I met my husband.
My minimalist husband challenged the pack rat in me and won. I started blogging in an attempt to stay more organized. I don't want to forget where to find those studded sandals I've been searching for and I really do love reading other blogs. Most of all I really want to savor the little things. And I still have a mini junk drawer of treasures.
As a newlywed I wanted to try and capture our moments together. House projects... fun nights out with friends. Then we started trying for a family. I was not prepared for the road ahead. Suddenly, I realized things weren't as easy for us as I thought they would be. After a year of loss, I think I had healed my soul enough to open myself to the idea of one day having a baby to hold... and here she is, as glorious as I could've imagined...my Marlow Ruby Belle.
My baby girl has had my heart since the moment her Daddy and I ever spoke of the possiblity of such a love.
We are overwhelmingly blessed.
Now, I'm a stay at home mom (whoa that just sounds weird) who had a former life of event planning, writing, and some design. I hope to capture our moments as a family while keeping my thoughts together on the other loves of my life... design, fashion, beauty... and maybe a little DIY.
I feel like this is it... this is the moment I've been waiting for. I couldn't be in a better place and I don't want to miss a thing.
UPDATE: 4 years later I'm putting on my blogging hat again. Having a second baby changed my world and I hope you'll join me in this adventure of life that Marlow and Lila brings! Today I'm now a part time stay at home mom and spend half of my week exploring design as a home design stager.
