billy says bonjour!
packed + ready…
You never know when the time will come with twins…and so we have had to prepare in advance. It also helps to alleviate any last minute stress. Our hospital bags are packed (see my nesting blog post), and this simple outfit is what both of the babies will be wearing home. We are so ready to meet them!
our twin nursery!
I just realized I hadn’t shared our twin nursery here, which was revealed on Design*Sponge Monday! It has been a labor of love, and since nursery design is what I do, I’ve dreamed of designing my own nursery for what seems like forever. Of course discovering we were having twins changed things a bit, but the neutral decor was always the plan. I am so very pleased with the result…all the planning and research paid off. It’s my new favorite room in the house…now we just need to fill it with babies!

summer nostalgia
As we welcome summer, I am reminded of my favorite place on earth. It’s not Paris…shocking, I know. It is actually Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire, where I have spent many summers at my uncle’s lakehouse. For as long as I can remember, the lake has brought me so much peace and happiness…and every summer I am not there I feel a void. These photos were taken in 2006, when I brought Billy with me…he loved it! Please pardon my nostalgia…I’m missing the lake, and my old waistline (ha) today!
design*sponge sneak peek!
Please pinch me, because our home is being "sneak peeked" on Design*Sponge today!!! Most of our little cottage, including our twin nursery, is being revealed there! It is such an honor to be included…many thanks to Grace, Amy, and Anne. A huge MERCI to Courtney Apple, who took all the gorgeous photographs. I do hope you will check it out and leave a comment there…merci mon amies!
