Things Lately

Yummy boba bubble tea! Honey dew melon flavor is my fave!

I've been sick so I've been catching up on snuggles with Abby.

The Husband got me this adorable Land of Nod play mat I've been ogling for the baby!

Our Christmas cards came in the mail so I got busy addressing and sending them out.

Abby has decided the Christmas pillows are perfection.

And I decided she is perfection when posed with them. Especially with her Christmas gator.

What have you been up to?

Kisses,

K

Things Lately

Things have been picking up as the holidays get closer and closer around here. I'm sure they have for you too!

But Abby has discovered a new favorite peaceful activity in the midst of the chaos. I call it sun sitting but it's really sun sleeping.

At the time of day when the sun comes in through the door on this specific spot this is where she can found. Happy and relaxed.

We started our birthing class this week! Eeep! It's so exciting and a little nerve racking!

I finally got a red cup treat! (No caffeine of course though.)

And my nephew had the most ADORABLE photo shoot that this Auntie just had to brag! He is the cutest!!!

The furniture for the nursery came back from being refinished in a high shine white. It's actually the same pieces I had in my childhood room.

And I got some lovely flowers which always brightens my day!

How have things been lately for you?

Kisses,

Things Lately

Cinnamon bun toast... Mmm...

When you're shirt and cake pop match...

Precious sleepy puppy.

The Husband's superb swaddling skills at our Happiest Baby on the Block class.

An awesome photo of my Dad's Dad that my Aunt shared. LOVE it!

Baby bump and puppy cuddle time! My favorite! My heart melts every time!

Some shaggy pre haircut pics.

And a spiffy after pic!

After Christmas

Well, Christmas this year didn't go remotely as planned... My Mom was in a bad car accident, had to have surgery, then a stay in the hospital. And I, of the chronic auto-immune issues, ended up with pneumonia... No Grand Floridian gingerbread house visits for us this year...

 

That being said, we're both ok and our family got to be together on Chrirtmas Eve. Nothing is more important than that! Even if it was brief (I'm pretty sick) it was lovely to be with them. My Mom has a long road ahead of rehab and won't be allowed to put weight on her severely broken leg for a while and hopefully my pneumonia will go away (soon please!) but even then those who love us make our lives worthwhile and wonderful!

 

In the meantime, here's a bit of sunshine to perk us all up!

This Slim Aaron's "Christmas Swim" photo from 1954 is Ahhhmazing! Someday I needs must re-create it!

Facts: I live in Florida. I have a pool.

 

Let's make this happen someday people!

 

 

As they say at Lilly Pulitzer, forecast is sunny and palmy...

And sunshine calls for more sunshine, especially when feeling blue. Whenever I feel down or sick and am able to I try to dress extra perky even when no one will see me except my pup and husband. Thus today finds me in yellow Pilcro pants (from Anthropologie) and a pineapple shirt and cardi (from Target).

 

The cardigan: i.e. Florida's winter coat.

Let the sunshine in!

Kisses,

K

Bits of my Summer...

So... I totally dropped off the face of the internets this summer... Between being sick regularly (ugh...) and super busy I didn't seem to have enough time to live online and offline so I chose off. :) In the spirit of sharing though I'm making a re-newed effort to get back to this space.

This Fall finds me starting new classes and endeavors and busier than ever but that also means I have tons to share! So, I'm starting with the cool stuff from this summer and then I'll work my way forward.

Here are some random bits:

We watched Fourth of July Fireworks via a pontoon boat on Bay Lake over at Disney World.

It was pretty epic in my opinion!

We got silly with our sweet crazy pup!

We watched some amazing sunsets.

I celebrated my birthday in style, thanks to my spectacular Husband and lovely family! (Here's to 31!)

Had more Abigail the Westie time!

Enjoyed Florida wildlife despite the heat.

Which included the loveliest family of cranes! (They're under the tree in the distance, I didn't want Abigail to scare them off.)

Enjoyed all the beautiful nature here.

Saw some magical moons.

And were continuously blown away by the colors of Florida's sunsets.

Stunning!

More to come soon!

What did you do this summer?

Kisses
