• cute school supplies

    is this the most colorful roundup i’ve EVER DONE?! arlo’s love of colors has made me realize how a few pastel colors make him very happy haha. i mean he even says his favorite color is “rainbow”. he’s getting me more into them!! 

    anyway, school starts back up sooner than it should here in california, so i wanted to round up some cute school supplies for all your little kiddos! lots of backpacks, lunchboxes, and some elementary school supplies they may need! 

    also, since i get asked all the time– the links for arlos name labels and stamps!

    HOLOGRAM WATERPROOF LABELS

    i got these “rainbow” labels for all of his hard things like water bottles, lunch box, notebooks etc. i got font #5

    CLOTHING STAMP

    i’ve been using this on arlos school clothes for years now! super happy with it — the ink doesn’t bleed through and they’ve held up well against a million washes. (it’s the small size)

  • a bagel brunch baby shower

    we threw my bff this little baby shower over 3 years ago now– but i realized i’d never shared it here and i thought it turned out so cute you’d want to see it!

    it was a simple little bagel brunch at her apartment, with a giant incredible brunch spread and so many bagels (ironic now because she was diagnosed celiac later!!)Read More

  • pretty everything : cute toilet paper holders

    can’t believe i haven’t done this roundup yet! tp holders are one of those tiny things that you might not think about until you’re done renovating your bathroom or if you’re trying to make a bathroom that isn’t your style slightly cuter– i think all of the ones i found are so pretty!!

    a fun little journey into what we’ve foods we’ve been eating and what shows we’ve been watching!

    what we’re eating

    this has become one of my favorite lunches lately — a rosemary salt bagel (from hanks) with cream cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, fresh dill and basil and a bunch of coarse salt and pepper. it is so simple and good!

  • a little backyard birthday brunch

    this was the first get together we’ve had since we redid the backyard (realizing now i need to do a blog post with the updates too!)– but i also decided i’m going to post even the little parties i throw on here.

    not sure why i haven’t in the past — but i love entertaining more than most things– so i should be sharing them permanently here! so, starting NOW. 

    ok so for my stepdads birthday in june, we threw a sweet little brunch with all the grandkids and had bagels, cakes and waaaay too many water balloons. Read More

    home tour : allegra rose berger’s little beach bungalow


    i have to admit i’m sort of allegra’s super fan, she’s one of those people on instagram that i always click on when i see her stories on my feed. i just really like her simple beachy style and she’s also a very cute person!

    she recently moved into the cutest little beachy bungalow and it looked effortless and perfectly styled within what felt like weeks, so i begged her for a house tour and here we are! i hope you enjoy it too.

    i know everyone is different, but we have had so much luck with it that i definitely think it’s worth trying if you’ve struggled in your journey to get pregnant. Read More

    my tips for disneyland while pregnant

    we just did 2 days at disneyland with arlo (sort of a birthday trip slash pre-kindergarten slash the last time it will be just the three of us) and it was so much fun. i was nervous about a disneyland trip at 6mo pregnant in july, but it worked out*! i knew my limits and we took LOTS of breaks. having the two days helped a lot because we weren’t worried about cramming things in as much.Read More
