Zara Kids Lookbook

Joyce Zick sent Emmaline a few items from a brand called Zara, and they quickly became some of my favorites for her to wear.  They were well made, soft, and adorable - all things you look for in baby clothes! I looked further into them and found that they no longer sell their baby line (sad!) but have ADORABLE little girl clothes (and lovely boys, mens, and womens clothes, too).

Seriously Cute. Look at the shoes!

Teething...

Finding joy in teething - loving all these snuggles.

Emma is teething, and it hurts.  Therefore, Mom has dedicated this week "Teething Week" in which all I do is make her as comfortable as possible.  Monday was tough, Tuesday was better, and today it's raining out, which is perfect stay-comfy-and-just-snuggle-all-day-weather.

25 things...

I've been seeing this a lot in the blog world and thought that it might be fun.  Here are 25 things I want to do before I turn 25... I've got 3 years, so hopefully I'll be successful!

1. Color my hair.  I think highlights or lowlights would be fun.
2. Re-do my wardrobe.  Already started this one, but it needs a lot of work!
3. Lose my baby belly, unless, of course, there's another baby in there sometime soon!
4. Read through the remainder of the St. John's College reading list.  This is a big one.
5. Watch all of Woody Allen's movies.
6. Learn how to french braid, or just do hair in general.  For Emma's sake.
8. Do more sewing.
9. Cook dinner at home every night for more than a week at a time.
10. Start a daily devotion and stick with it.
11. Get to know more women here, and have a close female friend again.
12. Reupholster something.
13. Build a headboard for my king sized bed.
14. Learn to accessorize.
15. Buy something from Anthropologie, even if it's just a doorknob.
16. Learn to use a budget.
17. Travel to Maine.
18. Learn to drive manual.
19. Hang all of my picture frames.
20. Have a chunk of a down payment saved up.
21. Get out of debt.
22. Have another baby.
23. Take better photos.
24. Spend more time with the dog.
25. Go camping.

In case you didn't already know...

The show White Collar is pretty much the best thing ever.  Bran loves it for the sweet FBI story lines, and I love it for this guy and his awesome suits:
