{happy holidays!}

Okay everyone, I’m signing off for the holidays! I’m heading out to wrap a few remaining presents, pack for our trip, and take care of a few loose ends… you know, glamorous stuff. Next week I’ll feature a few of my favorite posts from 2012 before returning with new content the following week. But in the meantime…

Quick Pick: Sesame Letterpress Silhouette Stationery

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of silhouette motifs, particularly when they’re this pretty!  I first came across these silhouette cards and stationery sets from Sesame Letterpress at the National Stationery Show, but was reminded of them while looking around for the calendar round up. Just lovely!

Seasonal Stationery: 2013 Calendars, Part 5

This year is quickly coming to a close, and if you’re like me you’re looking forward to hanging your 2013 calendar(s) on January 1st! I always think of calendars as half form + function and half artwork to display around the home, and it’s amazing how a new desk or wall calendar can freshen up the corner of a room. Here’s a little peek at some of the newest additions to the 2013 calendar round up!

{happy weekend!}

I haven’t shared any photos of Sophie recently, so I thought I’d end the week with a little update on my sweet little girl. She’s 2.5 months now (11 weeks to be exact), smiling up a storm, and interested in everything and everyone. She had a blast meeting new friends and family members over Thanksgiving weekend! I also hinted on twitter earlier this week that we’ve encountered some sleeping issues, so I’m one tired mama these days! Sophie is at the stage where she really wants to be awake for longer stretches but just can’t quite handle it, so we’re trying to find the right balance between awake time and nap time during the day so that we both minimize her meltdowns and can hopefully get her to sleep for longer stretches at night. I think I might do cartwheels the first night we get 6 or more hours out of her! Seriously. Anyway, this weekend we’re hoping to check out Holiday Heap in Baltimore and maybe even visit the National Aquarium (I’ve never been!). But in the meantime…
