Today I attended/worked at the opening celebration for Making a Mark , presented by The Periwinkle Foundation at the children's hospital where I work. Making A Mark enables children with cancer or hematological disorders and their siblings to celebrate self-expression and empowerment through creativity as a vital part of their healing ...

Outfits This Week…
Today when I got in my car after work, the outside temperature was 104 degrees. I am OVER summer. Bye bye, seriously. I am ready for layers and not sweating profusely on my way home. I'm driving our other car right now since our SUV is the only one that has a car seat (our car will have one soon, we just ordered it and will have it ...
First Day Back…
My first day back at work went well. It was a short day and it was nice to see all of my co-workers. I'm so lucky to have such great friends at work and a few even gave me welcome back cards and wrote notes on my white board, it was so sweet. I think I haven't had a meltdown yet because I know Harper is being cared for by her daddy and she ...
Saturday Happenings…
We always try to get out and about on weekends but since it's so hot outside, we only take Harper out for a couple of hours or so to make sure she's not in the heat too much (I kind of can't wait until Fall---and this year, not just for the clothes, but because we can enjoy taking Harper out without worrying about heatstroke!) We decided to ...
The Perfect Flip Flop
Follow my blog with Bloglovin The sweltering heat in Houston has made it nearly impossible to leave the house wearing anything other than shorts, a tee and a pair of flip flops. So I was excited when I was approached by Hari Mari, a company that makes flip flops using high-grade recyclable rubber and foam, so they can enjoy a long life ...
Sunday Brunch…

Six Twenty offers a carefully crafted selection of women’s basics, featuring high quality, chic essentials, available year-round. It was the first time I had ...
First Night Out
Last night was the first time I went out at night with friends since having Harper. We've had plenty of people come visit us at the house but up until now I just wasn't really ready to go out for the night (plus, my surgery kind of set me back recovery-wise and I've been pretty tired). I attended a going-away party for one of my co-workers ...
Generations…
Today was my mom's last day of her visit to Houston and my husband is driving her to the airport as I type this. I'm definitely going to miss having her here. Though we've been taking photos of Harper all week long, we realized we didn't have any together so we shot these this afternoon right before my mom headed back to Toronto. It was kind ...
A Cropped Denim Jacket
I haven't owned a denim jacket in a long time but suddenly I was craving one. I wanted something lightweight for summer and a darker denim (though I love the light ones too!) I was browsing at Nordstrom last week and saw a really cute denim jacket on display and decided to try it on just for fun. It was reasonably priced at $69 ...
Sunday Fun at the Park!
Today Meg from Meg O. On the Go, Michelle from The Vintage Apple and Magen from MMM Style and I all met up at the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center. The ladies had their little ones in tow and it was so fun to see them all---especially Michelle's little three and a half month old baby since I'm expecting so soon! Here's a shot ...
