Happy Friday, beauties! Today Olivia and I are doing something we never imagined... saying goodbye to our baby brother, kissing him, hugging him and sending him off to Scotland for university. It will be strange to change our three sibling attack to a two person defensive, but we couldn't be more excited for the tall red headed young man who claims to be our baby brother. This weekend is sure to be full of tears, excitement and hopefully many different forms of comfort food (brownies for us, haggis for him!) In the meantime, enjoy the weekend with some of my favorite things of the moment!
- These adorable, creative and fantastically unique birth announcements from The Mandate Press. Perfect for the artist couple they were designed for, perfect for a baby book.
- The great home decoration done by the Lovely Natalie in her new home in Iowa, as well as her wonderful blog, IowasThinking, which makes me want to move to the Midwest, get a great house like hers and just be flawlessly fabulous (which Natalie has been as long as I've known her).
- Toffee and Maple short bread from The Vermont Country Store, when I was little my mother used to stop at the Jericho Cider Mill and get me butter cookies when it became fall, these cookies remind me of that, and of Scotland--which today is all about.
- The baby nurse bribing, can't get them out of my head, Olivia and I need comfort food Cheesecake Marbled Brownies presented by the prudent planning pregnant Deb from Smitten Kitchen.
