weezie hooded baby towel

You all were so kind the last time I wrote this kind of post so I thought I'd try to make it a regular feature and just share what's on my mind every week or two. I hope you enjoy!

We love our Weezie towels!

design darling what's your idea of fun

First of all, thank you all so much for the love on Friday's post. Sometimes I don't know how much I want to say until I sit down and write it, and it means the world to me to know that so many of you have similar things on your heart these days.

If …

LIFE LATELY

I feel like I've been all over the place this summer... or since Peter was born... or since I was pregnant? I'm not sure exactly but it feels like forever since I had any kind of routine and I'm craving a more predictable schedule as we head into the fall. I'm never ready for the …

REFLECTING ON ONE YEAR OF THE PANDEMIC

March 15, 2021March 15, 2021

Isn't it crazy to think it's been a full year since the word "Covid" first made its way into our collective daily vocabulary? This time last year, my parents were still at A Better Chance and March 12, the day the students were sent home for the rest of the spring semester, will always feel …

MY SECOND TRIMESTER RECAP

February 3, 2021March 26, 2022
design darling second trimester recap

I’m 28 weeks pregnant today which means I’m officially in my third trimester! This pregnancy has absolutely flown by relative to my first. I think it’s in part because I’ve been so much less sick and also because, even though we’re at home all day every day, I’m running around after our first child and …

  • This is the St. Barths medium tote made of woven neoprene that’s so cool and different from anything else I own. It’s a pretty slouchy silhouette but it has a flat base and zip pouch on the inside to keep you organized.
  • We’ve slowly started to do more landscaping in the front of our house (still waiting on a temporary construction staircase to be removed before we tackle any gardening in the backyard…) and it’s been fun to see how much Teddy in particular loves getting his hands dirty, helping my mom dig holes, and lugging around a watering can to water the plants. I wanted to order an outdoor wagon that would work well both for gardening and for carting both boys around.
  • Teddy is happy to sit in the wagon basically forever and Peter is keen to launch himself out of it almost immediately, so it might see more use as a way to transport plants at home and coolers to the beach (I’m crossing my fingers this one will work on the sand, but we haven’t test driven it at the beach yet because it’s been so chilly here for the most part!). In any event I love these spring-y photos Julia snapped and wanted to share in case any of you are searching for something similar!
  • This is part of a little ongoing series on my blog where I share all of my current readings!
  • You all know I love my Hill House nap dresses (and will be wearing them in 2022 and beyond!) and today I’m extra excited about their debut swim collection that launched yesterday.
  • My husband is an avid tennis player and as much as I swear every summer is going to be the summer he really teaches me to play, I’m skeptical that this coming summer overlapping with my third trimester will be it. That said, I’ll be quite content to watch as he teaches Teddy and Peter to play and I’m similarly content to appreciate tennis style without stepping on the court myself.
