a day in the garden.....

the bee, a friend to all

the lonely shovel

Normally I would spend all my time tending to my vegetable garden and the flora that grew abundantly. But since a seed of different kind was planted this past winter, time and energy have escaped me. The vines can cover it all for now. Spring will be here before I know it and so will my dear Lillian.

Diaper Days

A rainbow of cushy soft cloth diapers sits and awaits the arrival of our first lil' one. The anticipation is too much!!!! We are so excited to meet our Lillian!

Father's Day 2011

My sweet husband and father to be and I.  We are expecting our first child, Lillian Lee, this September.

My amazing grandparents!! Lillian will be their first great grand child. I just had to have a photo taken with them while I was still pregnant. So, we went to visit them this weekend and picked up my old baby crib and all my baby clothes from the 70's. Lillian will enter this world already having a super sweet vintage clothing collection!!

Two of the best new products for any girl craving glowing skin and full natural lashes. Tarte Cosmetics has harnessed the power of amazonian clay in this lush mascara called Gifted and the serum Smooth Operator . Even when you're not feelin' so bright and sunny, these products will help you fake your way to brilliant beauty! Check out more all natural products from Tarte @ tartecosmetics.com.

A very sweet gift to my daughter, Lillian, whom I'm expecting to join this world in September. Handcrafted by my friend Ashley of Hustle and Sew. See more of her creations on Tumbler at http://hustleandsew.tumblr.com/
