Happy Friday everyone!  It’s really starting to feel like summer here in DC – which kind of freaks me out when I think about everything that I need to get done between now and the baby’s arrival in early October.  We passed the halfway mark a couple of weeks ago, and all of a sudden time seems to be moving so much faster – eek!  Off I go to tackle the next item on my to do list.  But in the meantime…

Pretty new nautical prints by Scout’s Honor Co.
