i’m so glad the weather has finally turned and fall has
arrived– it makes me want to run out
and buy lots of chunky-knit sweaters and make sure there’s always warm cider
ready for any spontaneous snuggling. there’s something so comforting about holding that warm mug in my hand
with my hubby by my side and my pooch at my feet. here’s hoping the rest of your week is filled
with your fall comforts!

warmly, -laura-

please excuse the gushing mom stuff -  i love this age (18 months), it’s so fun that audrey learns a new word everyday and we can actually sit down and teach her that a cow makes a ‘moo’ sound and a horse makes a ‘neigh’ sound.  i’m laughing more than i’ve ever laughed in my entire life.  example: when she realized what a car was, she’d say ‘car’ everytime we passed one and get really excited when we drove past by a parking lot by saying ‘car car car car car car car car car car’.  i can’t help but laugh!  i’m smitten, i totally adore her and love how having her with us accentuates my love for jason.  it’s a good good life.  happy fall! -m-

loved this recent post at EmilyStyle about what to wear for engagement
photos.  so smart!

is it wrong to think a planner is actually cute?  i hope not! and while i’m fessing up, take a look at these preppy ties by lynn butler.  -m-

so i’ve been randomly saving photos of kitchens for the past few months…do you do this too?  i love to nest!  -m-
