Friday loves (a day early)



FYI I started this post a few weeks ago, so some of these links may be not as recent as the ones I feature in most of my Friday Loves posts. ;)



Mompetition doesn't start at motherhood... it starts at pregnancy. TRUST.
there's always someone trying to one-up you or make you question your parenting decisions. 
I, for one, am not a fan, and I vote for Danielle's way to battle those competitive moms: 
kill them with kindness.

a guide to mixing patterns in your home.
super fun (and useful) post!

um, okay, call me crazy.
but I kinda sorta want to speed up time
so I can hear Ronin spout off funny shit like this.

“Wouldn’t it be funny if poop was made of airplanes?”
I die.

I ordered this baby book earlier in the week.

personalized baby book. ours is navy & white.

in the notes to seller, I mentioned to her that I was due any day now and that I slacked on ordering a baby book. she emailed me back and offered to send me the pages once they came in from the printer so that I could have them to record important birth details and put his foot/hand prints on the dedicated pages. she would then send me the actual book when it was ready.
I thought that was so above & beyond my expectations that I had to share.

love her and her wisdom. 
and her River.

Ashley Goldberg's pattern designs on Flickr (thanks to Lauren for the new obsession).
so awesome. I want this one made into curtain fabric for my living room. right now.


I'm also a big fan of the prints in her Etsy shop - check em out!

HAPPY FRIDAY, folks!

  2. Mompetition - so.frigging.true. It's so frustrating & never seems to end.
    And yes, marriage truths totally my life too! So funny!
    My daughter is learning to talk, so a lot of it is just mumbo jumbo but I can't wait for the funny! She did repeat Dildo once though...not my brightest moment as a mom. ha!I hope Ronin gets here soon for you!

  3. Just catching up on your bloggy, my dear. And as I scrolled through the FB pics of your maternity shoot (which are amazeballs, btw)couldn't help but notice your profile pic on ones where you'd commented ::wink wink:: Can't wait to hear all about how things went and how baby Ronin is doing!
