my funny valentines

P is like her mama and would celebrate every day like it's V day.  and C likes hearts, as long as they are yellow or orange.

P hearts hearts and pink and sparkles and so on and so forth.  this year, i tried to pick her up some goodies we can use on our upcoming trip south. . .and will of course be adding a heart lollipop to the mix, per her request.  the headband?  i. die.  so princess P.

1. heart barrel bag 2. heart shades 3. bow-shoulder suit 4. bow-tie hem t 5. heart tights 6. heart sandals 7. sequin skirt  8. star crown headband

oh and miss C, my yellow girl, with a weird quirky style all her own.  and again, i die over the headband- how could i resist?   i threw in a few things for florida, and will also be adding a yellow lolli to the loot.

1. bouquet pocket tunic 2. stripe heart tee 3. pom-pom headband 4. patent leather eyelet flats 5. tippy-toe tulle skirt 6. yellow polka dot bikini 7. beach towel

frenchie flashback friday

as everyone freaks out in anticipation of the naughty nemo, i decided to take a look back at georgey's first maj snowstorm.  totes got carried away looking through the archives.

it was just about 7 years ago, before this precious 5 pound angel joined us.

 

 not too much has changed.  i mean the saab hatchback is long gone {miss!} and the red couch has taken up permanent residence in mantown.  obvs.

but i think some similar pooch canoodling will go on this weekend.

stay safe and warm everyone!  happy friday. . .happy blizz

perspective

often, including today, i need a smack upside the head to remind myself just how good we have it. 

so i'm trying to switch gears after acting like suicide sally all morning, and instead of worrying about the BIG STORM ruining the queen of hearts ball {womp} or my 4 year old's exhausting tantrums, i'm going to check myself with this inspiring story via the today show.

you go, jill.  you are gorge inside and out.

boxers or briefs?

horseface's birthday gifts were fairly unimaginative this year.  i'm still creatively tapped from Christmas.  but he seemed pleased with his new duds.  he's not exactly "designer jeans guy" but I love these AGs on him.  he was excited about the blundstones, too.  and obvs he was over the moon over the framed picture {totes kidding, he could care less about that shiz}  but I worship the images from the ash's wedding from white loft studio and this is one of my very faves.  sneaky heidi caught us holding hands under the table.  love.

1. blundstone's boots 2. AG jeans 3. patagonia beanie 4. brooks brothers boxers 5. lacoste scarf  6. kate spade picture frame

hayyyyy, birthday boy!

as often as i joke or complain about my husband, i seriously adore him.

i love him for many reasons, not the least of which is that he tolerates me calling him horseface.  he's a good sport, both literally and figuratively, and manages the ridiculously high estrogen levels beneath this roof like a champ.  i could go on and on but don't want to get too sappy.  that's not how we roll.  {obvs}

so . . . happy birthday, horseface!

big thanks for being the best partner and daddy these gals could ever ask for.  i am ecstatic you were born.

now i'm off to bake the "funfetti" cake that the girls picked out.

yikes.  i have to admit, it compliments the spanish disney princess balloon P chose blatantly for herself,  quite well.

xoxo

beyoncedonk

clearly, i'm not what you'd call a huge football fan {despise}. but i did manage to prop my eyes open long enough for the half time show last night and i was blown away. beyonce = queen of, ummmm, everything

i still owe you the post from this weekends' events. working on it. 

right after i work on mastering beyonce's dance moves. you can, too. holla! 

 all you need is this handy guide from the voice {and if you're anything like me, 700 drinks and the usual grandiose delusions. obvs.}

frenchie friday: dress up with loo

it's happening.  i'm blogging from the train.  holla!

the train is glorious, bee tee dubs.  altho, its going to be super awk when i get off at penn station with the most ginormous suitcase known to man and two other bags, one with my precious macs {big thanks to pickwick!} but so far the extra effort is worth it.

anyhoot, i'm getting set to work on the big post i mentioned yesterday {it's slightly daunting} and started going through old pics.   figured i'd do a quick frenchie friday post while i'm procrastinating.  apparently, i used to dress up looloo.  have not done this in some time. 

should really start again, look how happy it made her.

omg - what is wrong with me?  don't answer that. . . 

happy weekend, everyone!  can't wait to fill you all in on the big happening in the dirty jerse.
