Happy Friday everyone! I survived my first week of Mama Camp with my two girls – hooray! So far, we’ve been blackberry picking, visited some farm animals, visited our local splash pad and a few playgrounds, and went to check out the Hive installation and kid-friendly exhibits at the National Building Museum. I’m super excited for our adventures next week! But in the meantime…

A huge congrats to the ladies of Gus & Ruby Letterpress on their second store in Portland, Maine! They open at noon TODAY – Portland, go say hello for me!

I feel like I need this sequin top in my life ASAP

I really appreciated this post on Design Mom about having a big family. I constantly feel overwhelmed as the mom of two kids under 5 – but maybe it’s just because of their young age? I don’t plan to have more children, but I’m curious to see if I’ll feel less overwhelmed once both of my kids are over the age of 4.

Stationers and printers: have you seen this gorgeous new Strathmore letterpress paper?? It even comes in pale gray and pink!

Loving Knot & Bow’s latest rainbow-inspired collection, which includes party plates, napkins, and double-sided gift wrap

Did you see that West Elm is having a huge lighting sale this weekend?? This is one of my all-time favorite chandeliers, and I really love these sconces for bedroom reading lights.
