baby airplanes

October 26, 2012 Filed in: Our Little Man

I bought these little outfits 4 years ago while I was purchasing a baby shower gift for a friend of mine. Reed has a love an obsession for airplanes and I thought this would be such a cute outfit on a baby of ours….one day. These tiny outfits had been hanging in our closet until the the day we moved from Nashville.

As we were packing up our house to head to Montana it was time to conquer the closet. I remember looking at Reed, while holding hangers with baby clothes on them asking him if we should just throw them out. Honestly, my heart was throwing a bit of an attitude as it seemed as though our baby would never be a reality for us. I love that Reed didn’t think twice before he responded “of course not, pack those up. They’re cute!” Oh my. So sweet.

Well, something made me remember these teeny tiny outfits a few weeks ago and so I began the hunt…and found them in the storage room behind our closet. Perfect timing because Ezra isn’t wearing much of 0-3 months these days.

As I photographed him in his airplane outfits- it brought tears to my eyes. I couldn’t believe that my baby was finally here….and he just so happened to be a BOY! I fell in love with these two teeny tiny outfits so many years ago, while Ezra was my dream…a re-occuring thought. God is so good. His gifts arrive at the most perfect time.

Just thought I’d share this story….and as silly as it seems, may these little airplanes encourage you in whatever dream you are holding on to at the moment. Keep believing for it!

Have a great weekend!

Painted Pumpkins

October 21, 2012 Filed in: Photography

Fall has always been a favorite time of year for me. I love the transition into sweater weather and the beauty in the brightly colored trees and the falling leaves! Oh and warm drinks in “for here” mugs…and gathering wood for cozy fires at night.

Last year I was inspired by a creative pumpkin DIY at Athropologie and so I created a few of my own for our shop. This year I collaborated with my friend, Carrie of Cue the Confetti and we painted pumpkins to place above the fireplace at the shop! I love how these turned out…and I love how simple this was to do, without much of a mess.

My mom is coming into town at the end of this week- and she is SO great at decorating….so my goal is pull out my Fall decor and decorate my house, while she holds baby Ezra! Yes, I know. It’s crazy that we are quickly approaching the end of October already….I’m still determined to get my house a little festive!

Here’s a peek inside our shop and how I used the pumpkins above the fireplace!

Momma Style: HARLOW

October 11, 2012 Filed in: Mama Style

Welcome to the 2nd installment of MOMMA STYLE!

This weeks MOMMA STYLE is a collaboration with HARLOW, a super cute boutique just around the corner from the Red Caboose! I am SO excited that Becky opened up this shop- it’s not only a style of shop that you would find in New York, Nashville or LA, but it’s oh so fabulous on the inside. I’ll be photographing her boutique soon so you can see for yourself!

Im a huge fan of skinny jeans and boots….it’s simple and easy…and depending on what you pair with it, you can dress this look up or down. I fell in love with this sweater and I think it’s PERFECT for all the mommas out there. I love that the sleeves are more fitting and lots of swing movement at the bottom! Perfect, right? And these colors…perfect for Fall!

There are many different places to find skinny jeans right now so grab a pair [or two] and just have fun keeping an eye out for unique sweaters that work with our sometimes crazy busy lifestyle.

Outfit Details: Sweater by Demylee Cashmere | Tank by Groceries | Jeans by JBrand | Shoes by J Shoes

Three Months

October 6, 2012 Filed in: Our Little Man

I have a feeling that I’m going to start off every post in this series the same way….

I can’t believe my baby is THREE MONTHS old today!! I can honestly say that these past 90 days have been by far my favorite days. What a blessing it is to experience being a MOMMA! Reed and I are always saying “I can’t even imagine life without our little guy….” and this is SO true! Ezra has brought so much JOY into our house and we are soaking in this season- daily.

As I look back on the TWO MONTH post– I can’t believe how much he has changed in just 30 days! WOW! I am now- more than ever- all about documenting his every month- for this very reason. If I can’t bottle him up and make him stay this way forever…..I better archive images so I can remember this.

The most obvious change is the CHUNKY-NESS that is happening! No more little frog legs…and HELLO double chin, I love it! He is very aware of momma & daddy…..and he loves the ceiling fans at the shop! I’ll look over at him and see him smiling so big at those big blades going round and round. He has discovered his hands, which are more often in his mouth than not! He has also started to discover his voice….we are loving all the sounds he is making these days!

Ezra, you melt our hearts. We love how you greet us every morning with bright eyes and a smile- every day is a new day- a clean slate. We continue to learn and re-learn important lessons in life through you. It is an honor to be your mom and dad, and we don’t take a day with you for granted. We continue to pray over you and thank God for you. We love you so much….so much.
xoxo,
momma & daddy

October Desktop Download

HELLO friends!

It’s officially Fall…and it’s beginning to feel like it here in Montana! I really do love the Fall season- the colors of the leaves, warm coffee drinks, sweaters, pumpkins, cool evenings ect…It’s also a season of reflection, which I really try and take the time to do.

Ashley and I have collaborated once again on a new Desktop // iPhone download. I’m loving this months quote::

“before the reward there must be labor. you plant before you harvest.”

 

How true is this?! Whether this is looked at through the lens of your FAMILY, CAREER, ART….there is a cost to anything worth pursuing. This quote just inspired me…especially when I think of my family and the priceless opportunity that I have right now to stay at home and raise my sweet little boy.

Everything we put our hands to matters….make it count!

Hope you enjoy this months collaboration! Be encouraged! Be inspired!

xoxo
