To say that I am obsessed with my peonies would be an understatement. I absolutely love having fresh blooms in the house. I think it’s my love language. If I could have fresh flowers in every room of the house, all of the time, I would. Now, California’s climate just needs to allow me to grow peonies and life would be complete. ;)
Why is it so hard to take a family selfie? I swear, we are thiiiiis close to getting one of those damn selfie sticks. *shudders at the thought*
Anniversary dinner on point.
Some behind the scenes action from our filming day/ photo shoot with thredUP! I can’t wait to see the actual shots from the day. It was kind of surreal and really neat!
And let’s all talk about The Bachelorette’s second episode for a sec, k? WHAT THE HELL, ABC. That was the most awkward thing to watch, it even topped the first episode when the guys were piling out of the limos and going to their girl, while the other girl just stood there ten feet away pretending not to be able to hear/see anything. This is not entertaining, this is weird and cruel, for everyone involved. And what’s the most annoying thing of all, is that the guys who were all “TEAM BRITT, I’M HERE FOR BRITT!” totally changed their tune once Kaitlyn was declared Bachelorette. It seems so many guys have already been talking about the show like it’s a game to be won. And it’s disgusting. Hopefully she sees through them. Because, you know, they are SO not there for the right reasons (had to). And also, we’ll be choosing our top picks on next week’s Man Quotes!
ALSO. Yesterday Sam went over to the bookcase and took his photo album off the shelf and started flipping through it. So then we looked at it together. And I think he enjoyed seeing the sweet tiny baby. And I enjoyed explaining each picture to him. Heart, melted. And also, how am I already describing newborn Sam as “Baby Sam” to my one year old?! He’s still Baby Sam- he will always be Baby Sam!!
SEE? BABY. :)
And it’s Memorial Day weekend! We’re going to a BBQ on Sunday, yay! Do you have any fun plans?

p.s. a few posts I’ve written lately on fashion. How to wear white and summer trends, in case you missed them. ;)
Filming?! How exciting! I keep hearing about Thredup but still haven’t tried it out yet, so maybe I should!?
Also – I think we might have the same kitchen table? Or at least very similar! Anyway – I totally want a tour of your cute little house! Does such a thing already exist? Should I go backstalk your archives?! Maybe? Possibly?
K sorry I think it’s my nineteenth cup of coffee talking now. HAPPY FRIDAY! ;)
GIRL! If you go through this link: http://www.thredup.com/r/R7VUFL you get a free $10 towards your first thredUP order! :) And I get $10 too! It’s definitely something you should check out! I love it (clearly). That’s so funny about the table… Our neighbors actually gave it to us! Ha! It’s from World Market. Annnnd I have been MEANING to do a house tour- I promise it is coming!!! Soon!
xo
Yep, definitely the same table!
Sorry – clicked enter too soon! Okay, sounds like I definitely need to check it out ASAP! Trying to stock up on summer essentials right now so I’m less tempted to buy throughout the season! It’s SUCH a struggle. ;)
Haha, I love the collage of family pictures! Bottom left is the best… sam’s little hand is like, “I can’t even handle you two…”
Haha that one cracks me up!! Our faces are soooo not ready for a photo, and Sam’s like, you guys are crazy. ;)
xo
First, if I haven’t already said it, happy anniversary! :)
Second, the season premier of The Bachelorette was the most awkward thing I’ve ever watched. It was ridiculous. And I really think all the men who were team Britt should have been sent home. Just saying haha
Aww thanks so much, girl! :) And YES, I agree the Britt guys should have all just left, that would have been the most sincere and honest thing for them to do. Can’t believe only one of them was actually man enough to do so!
xo
You’re the millionth person I’ve heard say that Bachelorette was the most awkward thing ever. Bad move, ABC!
It was a totally bad move on their part!! Hopefully they don’t do it again… Just awful!
xo
I seriously LOVE your pictures of Sam. He’s such a cutie! I totally agree with the Bachelorette comments! While I’m SUPER happy #teamKaitlyn won it was SO awkward. Ready for the next episode MEOW!
Your anniv. dinner looks delish!!!
I didn’t have a ton of plans for Memorial Day weekend except to go to Brat Fest. Its a huge festival in the capital of Wisconsin where they sell A TON of brats and raise money for charities and local businesses. Its kinda awesome. They have a brat called the “chicken chipotle monterey jack brat” HOLY AMAZING. (not just because of the pregnancy cravings either… but i’m sure that helps) We were there and then my bf took me to a park we used to go on dates/have picnics at. WELL surprise surprise HE PROPOSED!!! :) and his Mom was there, hiding… taking pictures of it all! Best.Weekend.Ever!
Hope the rest of your weekend was just as fantastic! Ps. Peonies are beautiful flowers!
Aww thanks girl. :) I’m pretty infatuated with my little guy! AND OH MY GOSH! Congratulations on the proposal!!! That is SO exciting! You got delicious brats (you’re making me want one SO BAD right now) and you are pregnant AND engaged! Ahhhhh I am just so so so happy for you. Life is pretty fantastic right now, isn’t it?! :) You’re making me happy just because of all of your happiness! I can’t get over it. :) I wish you had a blog- would love to see pictures!

gorgeous flowers!! So sweet. The food looks absolutely delicious!!
It was sooooo good! And the flowers are still going strong, which is amazing! They make me so happy :)
