Best of 2013: Baby Announcements

Happy Monday! We’re continuing our recap from 2013, and today we’re turning to one of my favorite subjects for both design and sentimental reasons: baby announcements. We shared Sophie’s birth announcements with all of you early in 2013, so of course those are making a totally biased appearance again here, along with a few more gorgeous announcements!

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! It has been a cold and wintery week here in DC – with more snow on the way this weekend, eeek! Last winter was incredibly mild and I kind of forgot what a real winter is like. The one bonus? Sophie looks adorable in the puffy winter coat we bought for her once we realized her little fleece sweatshirt wasn’t going to cut it this winter. Right now I’m looking forward to a mostly unscheduled weekend, except for checking out Holiday Heap in Baltimore tomorrow. But in the meantime…
