Well, dear friends, I made it!  

After an absolutely crazy month [3 amazing weddings in 2 weeks, stacks of paperwork, proposals, comparison charts and so. much. more….] I feel as though I may soon start to regain a bit more balance.

While time with my baby son is always the priority, I am giddy thinking about the flexibility I [should?] now have to truly enjoy the summer with family and friends…to actually hunt for inspiration again, to relish in the warmer temps with alfresco meals, countless walks and open windows…and hopefully spending a bit more regular time sharing ideas and inspiration with ya’ll.

Here’s a little glimpse of what’s been goin’ on…

Sweet Baby C is starting to practice his balancing skills!

He experiences the ticklish feel of grass on his tootsies for the first time….and LOVES it!

Carter’s first trip to the floral market as he helped me with the preparations for one of my best friend’s baby shower, that girlfriends and I hosted over the May 5th weekend…a Cinco de Bébé theme, of course!

Carter Jackson’s first root root root for the home team [they lost…obviously].

Every now and again, Chicago Spring showed it’s face.

Very Serious Smiles.

Cocktail locale for one of my weddings and the surprise of a lifetime from my bride to her groom….a bucket-list item checked off his list….a ride in a sidecar [complete with riding goggles and scarf].

Said best friend has her beautiful baby girl……..and names her Vivian Harper.
Carter is already planning their first date.

A quick visit to celebrate a friends son’s 1st birthday.

And finally, more recent Snuggles.
