Color Collection

I've realized I have a problem. If something is small, ceramic and colorful, I want it. These striped vases are no exception.

Piece by Piece

Last week, a friend of mine posted an Instagram of her housemates and herself working on a puzzle. It reminded me of how much I loved puzzles when I was a kid -- it was always a good activity at grandma's house. This 1000 Colors puzzle seems like a worthy reintroduction. Every piece is a different color and they fit together in relation to each other. Sounds fun, right? Or am I just a huge nerd?

Collins Quarter Cafe

The last time we were in Savannah, we stopped in for a weekday breakfast at the recently opened Collins Quarter. The menu is interesting, the space is charming and the lavender mocha is downright dreamy. I'm looking forward to return visits.

Verbal Courage

Some form of being healthier and happier always seems to be my New Year's resolution. I'm thinking one of these prints from The Motivated Type would serve as a good reminder for the rest of the year.

Long Weekend in Photos

Happy 2015! I hope you had a great New Year's and weekend. I've never been much for New Year's Eve and an 11-week-old baby gives us a good excuse to stay home. I stirred up a couple of red currant and champagne cocktails and made hoppin' john on New Year's Day. Over the weekend, we ventured out to some coffee shops, including the charming Seventh Flag. We're still on a caffeine kick after our time in the Pacific Northwest, and it seems that a latte a day keeps falling asleep on the couch at 9pm away.

Happiest Holidays

Hope you're enjoying the holiday season and taking it easy! We had a long visit with Jonah's family in Seattle complete with lots of good eating, catching up with friends and family and some quality grandparent time for Harrison. We're back in Austin now and are keeping things low-key for New Year's. I can't believe 2014 is coming to a close. This was one of the most eventful, challenging, wonderful years of my life. I'm feeling very grateful for all the blessings 2014 brought with it, but one in particular stands out. Harrison, Jonah and I wish you a very Happy New Year!

A Happy Holiday Card

I made a point to send out Christmas cards this year since it feels like sort of a requirement when you have a new baby. I ordered this design from minted., and it couldn't have been easier. Harrison's the star of this year's card. Hopefully, we can get the dog in on the action next year ... if she can sit still long enough.
