Today was my last day of being 28. I keep joking that I only have one more year of being young left, but really I am grateful for time. Grateful to make it to 29. Grateful for these years I get to spend with my babies. This year I've worked on vulnerability, expressing love, going after my dreams, and learning how to mother two kids. I feel really happy with how I've spent my one precious year as a 28-year-old. Here's to many more well-spent years, for you and I and all those we love. (Also I don't think 30 is old. Or 40. Still deciding on 50.) #28

I read this book very slowlllllyyy (took me MONTHS!) and in retrospect am glad I did. Anthony Doerr just writes such beautiful sentences that deserve to be savored. Reading it made me think more beautiful sentences, and thinking about that makes me want to pick it up and savor it once more.
Have you read it? What did you think? Also interested in your thoughts on All the Light We Cannot See.

When my husband and I were dating one thing I noticed was that he and his dad had (have) a great relationship. BFF great. I thought, "I want that for my sons." We still have lots of years to go, but so far, so so so good.
Happy Father's Day! Dad's are so important.

There is so much sadness and tragedy in the world. Life is such a fragile gift, you know? Grateful for my two little lights, who make my hope spring eternal.

What have you been into wearing lately? I know I live in Arizona and it's summer but allll I've been wanting to wear is jeans and pretty long sleeve shirts. #problems
I tagged the photo but If you'd like direct links, my summer wishlist is #ontheblog

Who else just realized #fathersday is Sunday? 🙈 What are you doing for your husbands and Dad's?

This picture is from last summer when we were in Oregon and it is my FAVE of these two. Whatever I end up doing for my husband, this picture will somehow be involved. #dad #happyfathersday

I first read this book not long after it came out along with a few other design books by design bloggers and it was by FAR my favorite. I've been referencing it since we just moved and we're trying to figure out our new house, and specifically our living room. One piece of advice @designmom shares that I've been thinking about is, decide what you want to use your living room for and design it to work for that.
We want to read, cuddle, play, wrestle, do puzzles, talk, watch a leeeeetle TV, and entertain. That's what I've come up with so far.
What do you use your living room for? And any design books you'd recommend?

I make my husband the same cake for his birthday everyyyy year. #linkinbio if you want the recipe. #happybirthday

My big little buddy turned three this week! Not to sound cliché/overly emotional/like myself but how how how did this happen so fast? Also does anybody else feel like three seems so much bigger than two? #happybirthday #threeyearsold

A few weeks before we moved I took some pictures of our old home and drafted up some feelings about moving.
Tonight I finally went back and polished up that draft and took a look at the photos of our old house and hit publish. If you're interested in reading, the link is in my bio.
Have you moved recently? How did you feel about it? I'd love to share notes.

I don't know about you but I've realized I just like having one pair of shoes that I wear everyday with everything. These are those shoes for me. I've had them for three years and since it's alwaaaaays warm here in Arizona I literally wear them year round. Also imo yellow goes with everything 😜
What are your shoe opinions? Tell me tell me.

We have two birthdays coming up in our family this week so we have been reading this book like, errryday.
It's my fave Dr. Suess book and has been since I was little, so I don't really mind. But I AM starting to worry that this book is setting the bar too high for Birthday celebrations 😂😉. Have you read this? Do your think it's as wonderful and fantastical as I do? #drsuess

I could sing my mom's praises all day... but let it be known that she ROCKED mom jeans in the 90's. (But really she's the best. Also #happymothersday !!) #momjeans

Hi! It's been a while. We moved into our new house a week ago and wow moving with kids is hard. Also two flat tires in one day and we all got sick 😷 BUT we have this beautiful backyard now and my babies have been running (and falling) all over it. So, worth it. Hope you have a rad weekend!

This is the best wall I've ever seen. #ihavethisthingwithwalls

We rode our bikes to the park the other day and everything was bathed in golden light and we were playing with our kids, swinging, running, just having the best time. I just felt so HAPPY. Couldn't stop smiling happy. We didn't have our phones with us. I felt so present and connected to my family and nature. I was thinking about that day and how all of the moments where I am happiest are not moments I'm taking pictures of. I'm just LIVING in them.
You all probably knew that already but I just wanted to say it.
This picture is not from that day but I had messy hair, a toddler to chase, and a happy heart both times. And thanks to my #instagramhusband who let me live in the moment a little bit longer.

Maps is the fave book in our house right now! We found it when we were browsing at @anthropologie when our oldest was a tiny baby (anyone else love their kids toys/books?). It has the most charming illustrations and I've learned quite a bit reading it too. I just wish it had alllll the countries!
