I'm dying to paint a wall in my house chevron. Or maybe even a dresser. I just love this look. Maybe I'll get around to it sometime this summer.

Oh, and today is this little guys 5th birthday!

We're gonna celebrate, army style. Now I just have to find some camo to wear...?

hiatus.

i realize it's been quite some time since i've posted anything at all. i kept meaning to, but the more time that passed the more daunting the thought became. you know when life just gets so busy that you're always going and going? always running out the door? well, this last month ahas been a little crazy for me and i've had just so many things going on. honestly, i've just been putting off blogging because i let so much time go by that it became overwhelming to think about all the things that i hadn't posted. so instead of writing lots of words, i will give you a glimpse of this last month in pictures.

eric, marina, and i had our birthday

at the Observation Bar on the Queen Mary this year.

i recommend having your birthday on a boat. it's a blast.

1) cozy crochet rainy days 2) coffee dates 3) a budding friendship and worlds colliding 4) steve zissou, i want this painting in my living room 5) new running shoes! 6) me and estrada reunited 7) hello kitty 8) best beibday card ever (it's justin beaver in case you couldn't tell) 9) hilarious texts and emoji love 10) LOTS of cupcakes 11) even more coffee 12) mismatched outfits 13) getting back on track 14) happy birthday werner! 15) pinwheels 16) lucy the english bulldog

that's all for now. i promise, i'm gonna do my best to keep posting. but the next 6 weeks looks like it's gonna be just as busy if not more so than the last 4. i have weddings that i'm in, bachelorette parties, trips, baseball games, and work. so i should be back soon. and with more pictures.

standard.

It's my birthday tomorrow, yay! and obviously I took the day off today. I wanted to do something special for my day and lately I've been feeling like I really need a little vacay. So...

I'm rounding up three of my best girls: Marina (who's birthday was yesterday, happy birthday to you too!), Tobin, and Erin and in just a few short hour we are heading to LA for the night. I know that it's not really a vacation, but to me it so is. We've got a room at The Standard in downtown LA and we're ready to get away for a night and celebrate. Big time.

Then laze around by the pool tomorrow morning and drink coffee and wander around town before we head back home.

I can't wait for

and

and hopefully

and to be with these beauts

see ya later. and happy weekend!!!

it's friday.

it's only the fourth day, but march is already shaping up to be pretty spectacular.

i have to admit, another reason i love march so much is because it's also my birthday month. and if you don't know me, you'll soon find out that i am a shameless lover of my birthday. i always have been. i love the excuse to have a day all about me, but in reality i usually take a few days.

not only is it my birthday, but it's also two of my very best friends birthdays also. we get to celebrate them together every year and it is the best.

now i'm off to spend my friday night with three of the most wonderful people in this world. one of the best ways i can think of to start off my weekend.

happy friday.

monday blues.

i've got the monday blues, so here is a little peak into my weekend...

A morning with the Sarge as I like to call him, but officially known as Sgt. Pepper.

An afternoon date with Noah, complete with his Spiderman PJs and rainboots!

Got dresses in our snazzy duds in honor of Heather

and went to a fancy dinner to celebrate her birthday.

1. birthday cupcake 2. dinner

3. rooftop lounge, but we only went to look because it was freezing. brrrr. 4. quick outfit pic.

1. me and the birthday girl. 2. the boys thinking they are hipsters/in the mafia (the black gloves).

3. eric staring down the bison.

le weekend.

this is what my weekend looked like:

• friday night girl time with Marisa and Marina. Lots of wedding and baby talk. But don't worry, none of us are gonna have a baby anytime soon (fingers crossed), we just think they are too cute.

• a nice saturday run, it was a beautiful day.

• bowling for Matt's birthday. I hadn't been bowling in years and boy, am I horrible at it. I still had lots of fun though. It was "Extreme Bowling" which means black lights, a fog machine, and horrible pop music that I loved every second of.

(the brothers proffitt. i would tell you to listen to their podcast because it's absolutely hilarious, but they haven't done one for months and months)

(a little bowling action, i know the picture is dark but it was the only

action shot that kind of turned out from the night :/ )

(matt blowing out his birthday candles, all 26 of them!)

(truly one of my bests, eric)

• Worked all day on a few custom etsy orders. And made cute little tags to send with my pinwheels.

(i really like them, and they have a nice little contrasting blue color on the opposite side)

(my work space)

• and now time for a little reading before bed!

xoxo

special day.

go give a big happy birthday to my dear friend Rachael at Lace and Likes!
