Say Hello To Summer!

We have been settling into and putting our mark on this apartment. The more pictures that go up, the better I feel about it. Mila and I have really turned it into a big play room but hey, that's the beauty of being a stay-at-home mom! When we're not indoors, we are out exploring the ponds around the complex. Most have been filled with baby ducks and geese since early Spring, who are usually gifted with bread and cereal every time they see us.

Pearls and Kitten Heels

I've always been a fan of vintage styles, antiques and even pin up girls and something finally clicked: that was the style I was meant for. Right now I'm in the middle of a wardrobe overhaul. I know it's going to be a slow process but I think I've gotten a pretty good jump on it, thanks to Goodwill and my grandmother (I always knew she had some goods!). I'm definitely up to my neck in pearls and some vintage kitten heels which I am not complaining about!

Change/Around The House

So, this is the first post on a new blog. My old blog was just a mess and I hardly used it. I'm not sure if it's the gloomy weather lately (I love me some dark, rainy days!) or just finally having time to do my own thing that's gotten me inspired or what but I am and I decided it was time for a change.

One Huge Mila Update!

This morning as I watched my big girl go about her crazy morning routine, I thought to myself "Will I remember when she started saying what words. Will I remember the random funny things she does that makes her suddenly seem so grown up?" The truth is this first year has already flown right on by and I know in another year I won't remember certain things she does now... so I wrote them down and now I'm going to share all of the Mila-ness with you lovely people!

Who We Were And Who We Are

"Our parents are still the same people they were when they were twenty. We will be the same people when we are forty."

Home!

We have been back in Michigan for almost two months now and it has been amazing (minus the house hunting part, which did not go so well)! Spring has sprung, mostly. The birds are singing, the rain comes and goes all day, Mila smells the flowers on our daily walks.

Mila is turning ONE!

Man time has been FLYING right on by this past month! We only have ten days left in Missouri and ten days until Mila is one year old! What happened? Just last week we brought her home from the hospital, right? She is one amazing, sweet little pot of honey and we can't wait to come home and share her kisses and celebrate her birthday with everyone! Here's a quick look back on Mila's first year...
