Nursery Inspiration

BY Jen

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may know that my husband and I are expecting our first child (a boy!). We are over the moon and I have just started feeling the strong urge to nest. I’ve been told this would happen but man, it is hitting hard. Everything from organizing, to cleaning, to purging, and the most fun (but also overwhelming) part…planning the nursery! I of course spent a bunch of time on Pinterest looking at nursery inspiration, and I have changed the direction I wanted to go a few times, but I have finally settled on a theme. If you can really call it a “theme” it is more just neutral colors with a bit of a woodland feel. I want to keep it very subtle and sophisticated and create a calming space for my baby to sleep in, and a space I like to spend time in. Here are the products that I have either already purchased or are on my wish list.

My Trip to Paris

BY Jen

If you follow me on social media, you know I was recently on a trip to Paris. It was amazing! Such a fun, beautiful, bustling city. We rented an amazing Airbnb apartment. The building was built in the 17th century and was in Les Marais (which I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an area to stay). We did some touristy stuff (museums, eiffel tower, etc.) but my favorite part was just walking around the city…looking in store windows, sitting at cafés sipping coffee, strolling through open air markets. We also did a day trip to Normandy which I really enjoyed. We toured some historical WWII sites, and the countryside is beautiful. Here are some photos from our amazing trip.

Currently Loving: Gold Office Supplies

BY Jen

Lately, I have been trying to create a happier work space for myself and trying to get organized. I have been replenishing some of my office supplies and have been going gold all the way. If gold paper clips make me happy, I figure it is worth the extra dollar or so to upgrade. I think you should always surround yourself with things that make you happy, and the small things count. Here are some of the gold office supplies I found that I am totally loving!
