”A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

This girl is still smiling, even after her first major mishap knocked her front tooth clean up into her gum and bone. Yep, it makes me cringe too. I cried about it for a solid day, weighed down by the mommy guilt…what could I have done to prevent it? The answer is, nothing. Accidents will happen, especially with toddlers, and I had to accept that fact and move on, which was easier thanks to all of the support on instagram. It makes for a great story (focusing on the positive), and oddly seems to fit with her personality…tenancious + wild, although always a lady. A lady who is missing a tooth.

One of the highlights of my Paris trip was a visit to Bonton. This three level concept store is a must-see, even if you don’t have children. The uber-chic boutique is impressive, housing their ready-to-wear clothing, decor, party supplies, toys, and even a hairdresser for the littles. Brought to you by the retail genius behind Bonpoint + Merci, inspiration can be found in every vignette. Don’t miss the vintage photo booth-the perfect souvenir! More inspiration + info after the jump…

”A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

Our Saturday morning ritual involves a long walk, a stop at Starbucks, and then a “secret” fountain by our courthouse. The kids crave routine, and at times, so do we. Henry was having fun playing follow the leader (the leader being sissy)!

bon weekend

Hello friends! This is the result of playing with the new party party app…not much partying happening here, but the app is fun! That was my actual first attempt…hashtag silly selfie (for the record, I hardly ever do selfies). I’m busy working on a site update…I can’t reveal everything just yet but it’s something I’m pretty excited about! I’m hoping to share it very soon, fingers crossed. I must get away from my desk and spend some time outdoors this weekend…this polar vortex is my jam. Summer temps that feel more like spring? YES PLEASE. I shall leave you with some links for your weekend enjoyment…

BON WEEKEND!
