So I decided that the Design Love Fest office contest was a good excuse to de-clutter my desk and show you all where I work.
.
What I love most about my desk is that it is all homemade. I mean, I seriously just put it together on a dime.
The desk top was a fence board that Mr. Moe found in the backyard and painted white. We place it on top of three Closet maid storage units that you can buy from Target in their storage container area. The storage units cost a whopping $15.00 each so we spent around 60.00 bucks for this desk. The white shoe boxes I picked up on sale at Michael’s craft store for $1.50 each…so there you have it folks. When you don’t have much money for furniture…just make it.
.
Some of my favorite things on my desk are the black hand, wooden shoe and my golden lady paper weight from my friend’s vintage etsy store Experimental Vintage.
.
The gold reading chairs in the room came from an estate sale that I happened upon one Saturday morning and bought them each for 20 bucks. Score!
.
Thank you again to the amazing photographer Erin Milnik for these images!

Hello Lovies!
.
I am so sorry that I have been horribly LATE in writing posts. You see, the thing is that I actually have been very busy with lots of business happenings and have put my attention to getting things put together for the business and have ignored this blog a bit. There is going to be a huge transition here on this little blog of mine and I can’t WAIT to share it with you all.
.
In the meantime here is what has been happening via instagram.

My sister Jessica flew in for a visit from Washington Dc and saw Jackson for the first time. Got some lovely outings with my beloved mom, sent out Jackson’s birth announcements (I know, I know, he was born in November and I am just getting them out, spring has sprung and Jackson likes to wake up at 5 am now. Oh lovely. Till next time!

Having a bit of a hard time keeping up with life recently. Hence, the long time since I last posted. There has been three photo shoots, a few dinner parties and lots of time with the new little guy. Life.is.full….but very good. Today I am thankful….thankful I don’t have to be perfect.

Because of the flurry of happy emotions on the day Jackson was born, I hardly can remember anything that happened very clearly. I like to think back upon that day and try to piece everything together, often like a bride does when recalling her wedding day. The fluster of activity and the cloud nine syndrome somehow alters your mental capacity. They call it love I guess.
.
My wedding day and Jackson’s birth day feel the same for me. Happiness is often all that I remember. Two things that I clearly recall was my mother exclaimed excitedly just minutes after he was born, “He is so strong! He just lifted his head!” We should have named him Samson right then and there. And the other was when the midwife did his newborn check and quietly looked into his eyes and said, “He looks like he is going to be quite the intelligent little man (because he was already trying to focus on her face). I think you have a smart one here.” So with those two little attributes combined we could have a little bit of a smart, rambunctious, mischievous little one. There is already that little naughty sparkle in his eyes! Oh no, folks…here comes trouble!
