FALL CLEANING
So now that I have all this free time (not working on Saturdays anymore at least) I am cleaning up. Not just my home, but in my blog as well. I'm gearing up for an intense amount of adventures and I need to push myself to accomplish everything.
In a few days I'm meeting a bunch of Baton Rouge bloggers and I'm excited and nervous. I love getting to know people in my community and growing a network, especially with those who are interested in the same things I am. Not to mention I'll be attending a work/social mixer in Mid City Baton Rouge, I got new business cards and everything for the event. Totally stoked to woo some clients.
I want to get more involved in learning the behind the scenes of blogging and web design, but honestly between being a mom, a worker, and a blogger, I haven't had the time. Part of me says, "Oh just contract someone to design a kick ass page for you." I know plenty of people who could. But I never settle for something that I could do - given I have the time to do it.

FROCK YEAH, AGAIN!
What do I love more than beautiful dresses? Ones I found tucked away in a little antique shop, on the cheap, and didn't have to bargain to get the deal. This kelly green dress with subtle turquoise flowers is just picture perfect. I can't wait for a fancy dinner party or wedding to get a chance to twirl my heart out.

LOCALLY GROWN // 01
I'm so excited to debut this blog series. Through the help of many sweet Etsy shop owners, I've been able to bring to you great selections focusing on the people selling awe-inspiring products who live in my backyard (or just a few hours from).
First up in my series is a gal named Bess from Ruston, LA. She has a quaint, rustic shop named
Pippa Marx Studio. With photos that are simply dreamy and styled so well she could make Anthropologie blush, Bess is sure to wow any shopper searching for an eclectic, well-lived feeling for their home.
What got you started in selling vintage items on Etsy?
How do you find your unique and diverse inventory?
What grabs your attention when your out searching for the next piece to sell?
How often do you plan on selling an item, but fall in love with it and keep it for your own?
Would you ever open a storefront? Or does having an Etsy shop make reaching a broader audience more successful?
Your item layouts in photos are so beautifully orchestrated. Do you have any background in merchandising or marketing?

THREE YEARS OLD
Happy Third Birthday little Juju! I can't believe in just three years he has become such a little person. He has opinions (strong ones), little jokes, and plays pretend pretty convincingly. Today we had a little family birthday party and he had a great time with his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Here are just a few pictures. As much as I wanted to run around snapping away little moments, I had a lot of partying to do :) Can't wait for next year!
My twin and her little girl are just the cutest together.

Yums! Repicci's Italian Ice
Although summer was just here, I'm already starting to miss the longer daylight hours and the road trips. I definitely still crave the tastes of summer, and Repicci's Italian Ice has so many delicious, bright flavors one can slip into flip flops and feel like summer is back on. A big bonus is that it's Dairy Free (Ryan, who is allergic to dairy, is fond of this). Italian Ice, if you are not familiar, is much like a slushy or sorbet. It's very light, fruity, and a delicious drink if it happens to melt.
If you want your own taste of sweet, sweet summer, you can find Repicci's Italian Ice at Sam's Club. Check out their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and let them know how much you like their Italian Ice!

JUST THINKING
Pictured above is a bit of an artistic interpretation of how I currently feel. I am working so hard at my day job, working so hard at my side business, working so hard at being a good girlfriend and mom, I just feel torn in all directions - but it only unleashes my inner amazingness that flourishes under pressure.
I have very little time to myself, something that I need to start planning a special time for (I've come to enjoy morning coffee and cleaning the kitchen before my son wakes up). I love being so busy, I'm just trying to keep up with it all and not forget anything.
here are some lovely things I wish I had time for:
