You find a dirty silicone covered spoon at the bottom of your purse.

Last weekend was grandparent’s Day, and since both sets of our parents became grandparents when Declan was born I honored the occasion by ordering each set a notepad from Pinhole Press. They were a hit and I heard there was some fighting over who would get to use it! Ordering was easy and the customer service was great, I will most definitely be using Pinhole Press again.

I got out my camera, as opposed to my iPhone camera, this weekend and shot some close ups with my favorite lens.

One of Declan’s many plaid flannel shirts.

Went shopping for some new work clothes. It felt good (and even better because I found some nice pieces at Old Navy!)

These shoes are on their last leg. (No pun intended…) I eyed these for. ev. er. at Kate Spade and one day I went in and they were on sale. Like, 75% off sale. I had to have them and have been in love with them ever since. It’s been… a few years? I don’t own a lot of shoes so these are in the rotation and are worn to work once a week, sometimes more. They are always complimented, and offer the perfect pop of color when I don’t have time to pick a fun outfit and end up with the black pants, white top, grey sweater uniform. I felt they deserved to always live on in photographs. I don’t know if I will have it in me to ever throw them out.

I just finished up a huge project at work last week ( worked my first 12 hour day. Yuck) so things have been hectic. Here are some instagrams from the last week or so.

Perfectly ripe plums from TJ’s

Some sweet WPA posters

First day of daycare outfit (more on daycare later… long story short: its good but it kind of sucks but we know it will get better)

Growing tomatoes! Hopefully the grow nice and plump.

He loves sand!

Finally added a photo of the little dude to my cube.

Coral won out this time (thanks for your input!!) But at the first sign of Fall (which admittedly doesn’t really exist in southern California) the gray will come out!

Pedicure time. Grey or coral?

Love this article and slideshow of flight attendant fashions through the years. No yoga pants and ponytails in these passengers! And hot pants? Why not!

Sometimes I need a little reminder, so I set this as my desktop.

Some things I have starred lately in my Google Reader…

If my mom surfed, she would ride one of these boards.

I want these. Bad.

I want this to be the inspiration board for my life.

Happy 4th of July!! 5 month post is on its way!
