  • wish list

    payday wishlist

    hey it’s friday! we saw gravity last weekend, and i wanted to warn anyone that wants to see it to definitely see it in the theatre and in 3D. it’s not the greatest movie of all time, but i really think it could be boring at home on your tv. so see it – it’s like a 2 hour star tours ride.

    payday wishlist / 60

    one . these would look so cute and fancy for a night out with a ponytail.
    two . i will forever love baskets and bins for crap. i want to fill this foil covered paper bag with all my crap.
    three . so this rug is actually a yoga mat, and i don’t do yoga — but that means it would be a perfect kitchen mat!
    four . love love this simple diamond ikat phone case.
    five . an adorable little pouch that would look amazing with an all black outfit.

    photographer dina fried created this photography series of meals entitled fictitious dishes inspired by famous books. guess which book inspired each meal (via buzzfeed)

    i am such a sucker for wes anderson movies, i see a poster and i’m already in. actually i hear a title or premise and i’m in. well now there’s a trailer to watch. in in in in. ps when i first moved to la, i saw royal tenenbaums 4 times in the theatre — i had no friends. (via huffington post)

    i’m in awe over these oil paintings by alyssa monk. i love how she does different water patterns on each one. (via the artful desperado)

    i JUST threw away leftover buttermilk after i convinced my boyfriend i’d find a way to use the rest up. i didn’t, and it went bad. and now i see this of course. these three ways to use up leftover buttermilk sound gooood. and helpful. (via the savory)

    love this mini mr. rogers costume and i love that it looks like he didn’t want to hold the puppets. (via oh happy day)

    these easy clay pumpkins can be used as wine stoppers, drink toppers, whatever you could think of. my favorite DIYs are always the simplest. (via paper & stich)

today my baby is 8! 😭🤯 insane how fast it’ today my baby is 8! 😭🤯 insane how fast it’s all gone, arlo has always been the funniest, coolest and most passionate kid of all time. 

a little walk down memory lane with some favorite arlo memories — purple guy, sand eater, chronic tripper, the most loving little dude. 

may you see all the sharks eating people, collect all the rare pokémon cards and eat all the orange pasta and soup dumplings your heart desires in life!!!!

greetings from new england!!! still cannot believe greetings from new england!!! still cannot believe we’ve officially left los angeles for the connecticut shoreline WHAT IN THE WORLD???

i’ll do a more in depth tour soon, but for now, this is it!!! she needs a looootta tlc but such good bones and a freaking killer view too. my literal life goal has been a gorgeous view to look at every morning and every sunset and i cannot believe this is real life 😭 

so grateful. so excited. soooo nervous to live in an old house. 

oh and yes for those worried about the children with the water yes me too— we got a latch for the top of the back door so they can’t go out without us and izzy starts swim lessons next week!? the previous owners had young kids too so i think we can live here safely! we also have a huge flat fully fenced in front yard they can play in safely!

need a name for the house!! it’s blue and it’s on a river… !? would love your suggestions!
the end of a beautiful chapter 💛 we brought arl the end of a beautiful chapter 💛 we brought arlo home here, we crafted our way through the pandemic here, we mourned our pregnancy losses in bed, we finally got to bring our rainbow baby home here, threw so many incredible birthday parties, so many beautiful dinners in the backyard, so many sweet christmas mornings, so many hours of mamma mia. it’s hard not to be sad while i’m also so excited, we made millions of incredible memories here.

arlos pokémon pool party! aka the first time EVER arlos pokémon pool party! aka the first time EVER i was totally chilled on the execution. i had no energy or bandwidth to go ham like usual and honestly?? it was the most i’ve enjoyed a kids party i’ve ever thrown! 😭

arlo also helped so much, he setup the tables, he filled the goodie bags, he made the pokeball snack board! we stuck pokémon stickers on all the cups and goody bags and called it a day! 

and i outsourced the rest! insane (raspberry donut flavored) cake by @_midnight_sugar_, cookies by @fandjconfections and pokemon pizzas from @amecipizzakitchen !! 

his birthday isn’t for another week and a half but i’m soooo glad he got to spend such a sweet day with his buds before we leave 😭

no matter how much you kvetch about parenting i kn no matter how much you kvetch about parenting i know being a daddy is your favorite thing in the whole world and you’re incredibly good at it too (just like everything else) thanks for carrying everything, reaching everything up high, always driving, and always putting us first 

happy father’s day @gideonboomer ❤️ we love you!!!!!! only you could look slightly cool wearing an umbrella hat 

and happy father’s day to poppy @jmmadfis, always there for us, willing to do almost anything to make us laugh and always up for a game of uno no matter where we are
our outdoor table + benches literally fell apart our outdoor table + benches literally fell apart so it was time for a little upgrade, an expandable outdoor table and uv/weather resistant chairs from @allmodern! i got extra chairs for company and i love that i can stack them when we’re not using them. also the new outdoor dishware i’m obsessed with— non-breakable and made from plant-based material (but luckily also microwave and dishwasher safe!!)

bringing all of this on the moving truck, but before we do, it felt so sweet to do a little dinner out here for the first time in months and have a tiny send off to our LA backyard!! 

i used fresh lavender and olive branches that we grew and the birds were so loud, i’m probably going to miss it here a little. 

if you want the links for anything sent straight to your DMs, comment WANT 

https://liketk.it/5g89g

and it’s totally not too late if your backyard needs a little zshushing for summer because @allmodern has fast + free shipping tooooo!
