a bundle of sunshine.

hey y'all!

i know it has been a long while since i've posted on the blog. life changed in the most wonderful way for my husband and me when we welcomed our dearest Piper Everly into the world on december 7th! we couldn't be happier. or more exhausted. ha.

i thought i'd share a couple photographs taken by the talented Jen Menard when Piper was 5 days old. you can check out more of Jen's skills here. and if you're ever in Baton Rouge or New Orleans, call her up!

happy tuesday!

Little Kitchen

This idea has been on the back burner for a while...no pun intended.  I have been thinking this up and drawing inspiration from Ikea and other wood play kitchens for a while and Christmas was the perfect time to  shoot for completing this project.

My dad is a carpenter and one of my favorite things in the world is to go to his shop, with him (and his decades of expertise) and create a project out of wood.  I had Benjamin Moore Pacific Ocean Blue paint on hand so I used that to save money on the finish.  I wanted some pretty wood accents so I used walnut from a tree cut down in my grandpa's back yard.  I bought a pot at Goodwill and ordered a stainless steel bowl for the sink.  When we presented it to the kids, they went straight to work boiling water for coffee and serving fake lunch.

The apron Clara is wearing was a hand made birthday gift from her Mimi!

Happy New Year!
love from Jan
