Thanks to the softest heart pajamas and throw blan Thanks to the softest heart pajamas and throw blanket from The Royal Standard, my little galentine and I had the coziest day celebrating all things pink and hearts and love! The pattern on the Valentine’s pieces is so happy and lovely, which inspired a perfectly girly afternoon of snacks and books and just plain FUN ❤️💗🩷

We fell in love with The Royal Standard through PJs, but they have so much more than just pajamas! View their entire Valentine‘s collection of sleepwear, totes, accessories, jewelry, and home goods using the link below (or comment GALENTINE and I’ll send you the link in your DMs!)

What a joy it is to be included amongst all of the many beautiful local businesses represented in this book! 🥰  @audrabowmanlifestyle put on a heck of a party to launch this issue and it was just the most fun!

Does anyone else find themselves enjoying their ki Does anyone else find themselves enjoying their kids’ stuff when they’re away? 😂 

Dempsey got a @makeafort for Christmas and we are having THE MOST FUN!!! I might be enjoying it as much as (or perhaps more than?) he is! We made a “sleeping fort” and I may or may not have taken over and read in there one day while he was at school 🤣 It just seemed like a crime for it to not be enjoyed in the middle of the day 🤪

I’m on a mission to find wonder at every turn and, to me, this counts 🥰 Little joys are everywhere if you look for them!

How absolutely PRECIOUS is this treehouse/ art hou How absolutely PRECIOUS is this treehouse/ art house in my friend’s backyard? 🥰 She turned it into the bar for a bridal shower and it was so perfectly whimsical! ✨ (This was from October, but I realize I never shared. It’s too good not to!) 

Don’t think I haven’t been thinking about how/where I can add stairs to our tree house to create a similar vibe! 😆

Not only do I love the look and feel of this thing, but daisies always remind me of my college/early post grad alter ego, Daisy Buchanan. 🤣 Sometimes I’d go with Penny Lane, then *other* times I’d swap it up with Penny Buchanan or Daisy Lane, just for fun! Did anyone else use an inaccurate name back in the day? There were just sometimes when I really didn’t want that weirdo at Club Fire to know who I actually was, ya know? 🔥😂

I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL week!! Xo!
