love*birds: 8.29.12

things i am loving this week:

~ baby ben is two weeks old today! happy birthday baby ben!

~ my two kids! i am the mother of two...so crazy. and i love it. i love my little family.

~ jim. he has been so helpful and supportive these past two weeks. i seriously have changed maybe (maybe) ten diapers in the last two weeks. and that is only the first item on the list of why he is the most amazing husband ever. i could go on and on...

~ hearing mimi say, "my baby brother." so sweet.

~ sleep. i don't get much of it these days, but the little i do get is so glorious!

~ Pretty Little Liars. i have started watching this show during late night feedings and have become obsessed. total guilty pleasure. i finished the first season last night and am excited to start season two!

and here are a few other things we are loving this week...

organic canvas bag

i love a good tote. and this one is made of recycled materials which makes it that much cooler! i love the original geometric screen printed design. just a great carryall.

1960s polka dot dress

this vintage dress is so gorgeous. so classic yet so fun! (polka dots make everything more fun!) and it looks to be in amazing condition. so lovely.

"know your coffees" print

jim and i are both huge fans of coffee (yum!) so this would be the perfect print to hang in our kitchen. these little guys are so cute! i just love it!

1960s poncho

with fall right around the corner i have started to think about layers (yay!). this cape would be perfect for throwing on over some skinny jeans, boots and a basic tee. in. love.

ombre beaded necklace

these handmade, clay beads are so beautiful. this necklace just makes me happy and i would love to wear it all the time!

blog*love

i have been doing a horrible job of keeping up with blogs the past couple of weeks (i am so sorry everyone! i will return to reading them all very soon! i miss you!) but i happened to see this recipe on Smitten Kitchen today and i must try it asap. yum!

super dad

i got to go to target all by myself the other day. it was wonderful. and when i got home i saw jim doing some yard work with ben. such a sweet sight to see! i told you he was amazing, right?

megan bird

mid century plant stand

i will have one of these some day. i am on the hunt for a small round plant stand to replace a table in a hidden corner of our living room. i don't have the greenest thumb when it comes to indoor plants, but maybe if i had this cute stand, i would do better!

silver sparkle vintage maxi skirt

how is this skirt not in my closet? i love it! sparkles, pleats and a maxi? now if only i had the model's body...

sweatshirt dress

just for the heck of it, i searched "sweatshirt dress" on etsy...and boy am i glad i did? sweatshirts and dresses are like the fashion peanut butter and chocolate. they are meant to go together and are oh so comforting!! add the cute little birdcage and it's a yes!!

spike necklace

i saw a similar necklace to this the other day when i was reading a very mature and educational magazine (ok, it was US Weekly). either way, some star who is just like us was wearing it and i fell in love, and now i found an affordable one. yay!

anne michelle fringe bootie

for as many boots as i own, i don't believe any of them include fringe. this needs to change. that's all.

blog*love
cara over at I Dabble has the cutest little diy for adding a little sparkle to your hair accessories! so easy and so doable...i might have to try this myself!!

transparent

the kids and i had the best date day last weekend. part of the date consisted of visiting the minnesota-famous sculpture garden and it's oh so fun "transparent" mirror. we were all amazed!

what are you loving this week???
