j.crew + color

From the first time I saw this dress on j.crew, it caught my attention, but I wasn't sure about the one wide strap with the one skinny strap. BUT now that I see it on a bride, I have to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress. and I love the pairing of a colorful cardigan with a wedding dress to add a pop of color to the day. {see another example here}

birthdays: a new beginning

[[via paul octavious]]

So Tuesday was Ms. Abby Normal's first birthday...and I forgot! I guess that's what happens once you have kids huh?

and yesterday, Cinco de Mayo, was my 26th birthday - my first birthday as a mom. It was fun sharing the day with Gray baby. We even ran a few errands together that evening as a family.

To many more birthdays as a Mom! Cheers! ♥

notice

Blogging and photos have been light lately due to Gray baby, but now they'll especially be light because Abby Normal made my laptop put Shaun White's signature move - the Double McTwist 1260 - to shame. and so my computer screen now could be Radiohead's new album cover.
