Have you seen Joanna Goddard's master bedroom makeover?! It was designed by none other than Jenny Komenda of Little Green Notebook and it takes my breath away. I would fall to sleep a happy woman every night in this space.

Nicole's new business cards are simply perfect.

Love all of Jessica's outfits but especially these neon numbers: one, two.

Sweet siblings.

The prettiest matchbooks (plus you can download the pattern and print it out for free!):

You "don't have to rely on a healthy body image or self-respect" with this amazing new beauty product.

Love this post on styling your children's clothing to make it last. Because they grow out of it so. darn. fast.

Carper diem Carpe a couple of Kairoses a day.


And lastly, for all of the mothers out there I have to add an excerpt from this beautiful, beautiful letter:

Dear mother of only one child, don’t blame yourself for thinking that your life is hard.  You’re suffering now because you’re turning into a new woman, a woman who is never allowed to be alone.  For what?  Only so that you can become strong enough to be a woman who will be left.


When I had only one child, she was so heavy.  Now I can see that children are as light as air.  They float past you, nudging against you like balloons as they ascend.

Dear mother, don’t worry about enjoying your life.  Your life is hard; your life will be hard.  That doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong—it means you’re doing it right.
