I. Have. Found. It.

After weeks of contemplation and searching I have finally found the rug combination for the nursery. My requirements? Natural, non-toxic fibers. Something with a hint of brightness & 100% cozy. My solution?

I can't TELL you how excited I am to see these two in action. DElight.

Happy...

... Happy... Presidents Day, y'all.

(PS: Now that I've seen Angela Rossi's work, I can't imagine my home without something of hers in it. The only dilemma now, which piece to choose.)

Little Mouse Love

If I know my friend Kate at all {and I think I do}, she would L.O.V.E. this little fella. I might wait to buy it for her until she has a little Kate running around of her own, but mark my words, she'd die if she ever held it in her hands.

PS: We saw a mouse on an evening walk recently. Well, we saw screaming girls running towards us first, then the mouse scampering closely behind. And while the mouse looked nothing like this fella, we both agreed he did look pretty darn cute.

When Chocolate is Bad

Today I took this fella to the vet. He has a chocolate-y smelling ear. (I know... )

We waited for the doctor to arrive and Perry was oh so sweet and calm, hugging tightly to my side as I stood by the table. When the doctor finally came in, I explained the mysterious chocolate-scented ear, making sure to point out his perfect-seeming health otherwise. We chatted constantly and openly during the exam. But, as the doctor looked deep inside this little fella's ear I could tell something was not right. It was at this point that the doctor stopped speaking, looked me square in the eye and said, "you can do better."

We can do better? My heart sank. Deep.

Suffice it to say, it's only a little infection and he'll be fine in a few days with some medicine, but gosh did those words ever strike deep. (Sorry little fella)

creating your life

I've had this quote in my view for quite sometime. It sits on a small seagrass board with various other tidbits that speak to me. I have a hard time grasping these specific words, though. Intellectually I get it. I agree. Spiritually, however...

I am probably contemplating this more because it is a new year. Because I want my goals to be clearer. Because I, like every other trained actor, was told just the opposite for years and years. But now, I know I've got to wrangle in all those passions.

So, I'm taking steps. Making notes. It's January 6th and I'm still considering what the Resolutions on my list will be. But that's okay right? Sometimes it takes more than a few days to write such lists. Sometimes it takes years of staring at the same words... for them to finally... sink... in.

Happy Anniversary to us...

Just a year ago today we pulled off one hell of a party for our family & close friends. We had a completely homegrown affair... just the way we wanted. We handmade the decor, strung the lights, placed each flower in its vase. It was {simply} lovely. Yet, all the while never losing sight of the day's gravity and weight, for this was the day we pledged our lives to one another. (I have never been happier in my life until this day.)

merry christmas

merry, merry to you and yours.

love,
Megan (from Williamsburg, NY)
