Inspire Me Thursday

Hello! Hows everyone doing on this chilly July day? I made a hair appointment for the first time in like 3 years for today and it looks like it's going to effing rain! I was so looking forward dusting off Lady Bird too! I hope these clouds start moving soon! I'm in the midst of a serious stye shift. It's a combination of motherhood, age, and being on mat leave that is shaping it. I'm all about low maintenance, loose fitting and seriously easy going clothing. : )

 





  This looks like a sewing project I could tackle!
 Watch Cosmos. It's your responsibility as a human.

I made a gif out these old postcards...cool eh?
This is how James and I greet each other each day... ; )
Happy almost Friday!

Love Desiree

Inspire Me Thursday

Dear readers...Thursday is here and what a beautiful one it is. Eloise and I are hitting the streets for sure! We will be lathering ourselves in sunscreen first though and I hope you will be too! I saw a group of girls tanning the other day fully soaked in baby oil and smoking butts. I was horrified...horrified that I used to be them. Ugh, teenagers, when will they learn!
Check out my moms Wysteria...it's amazing! Almost a decade in the making..

Loving peasant tops this summer. Mat leave style is seriously laid back...
More craft ideas!
I have never worn running shoes anywhere but the gym but I'm starting to warm to the idea.
I cannot for the life of me make a perfect pair of cutoffs. The thighs are always too tight if the waist fits. I think the key may be to buy mens jeans? Back to Value Village I go.

Kids love being under the table...lets take advantage of that with this stylish idea!
Awww...
and another awww
People always tell you how fast the time goes and they're right. I can't believe 6 months has passed...On her sixth month birthday I just couldn't put her down for her afternoon nap. I longed for the days when she'd sleep on my chest for hours at a time...
6 months. : )
 St. George The Martyr church is our secret lunchtime spot when I visit James at work.  I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be able to walk over for a visit. Living in the city can sometimes have its downfalls but its days like this one when I remember why we stay.
 
I've finally been struck with the inspiration to sew again and last night I busted out the cutest little pair of bloomers ever! I'm going to do a few more and share them on the blog next week. 

Hope you are all well!

Inspire Me Thursday

Hello friends...this post has taken me a helluva long time to complete...mostly because my baby no longer naps long stretches...unless we're out walking...which we do, A LOT! We're having a pretty awesome time though. There were a few days last week that were absolutely gorgeous....our walks were magical...the flowering trees were raining down their pedals and the breeze was warm and sweet....motherhood/maternity leave has really given me a chance to slow down and literally smell the roses. We went to the local farmers market and procured some fiddle heads for dinner, filled up some pots with flowers and herbs and made our way around to all our fav swing sets.....it was perfect.  I'm also loving showing Eloise around her city now that the never ending winter has officially ended...

This is us in Kensington Market...we ate fish tacos and got some organic baby sunscreen from Essence of Life.
This is Eloise blissing out on the swings.
 And some yummy fiddleheads! I boiled them and then fried them in butter and salt just to make sure I got rid of any pesky bacteria...
 I love wine. Like seriously...
I need one of these this summer because sadly the sun is not our friend in this day and age...especially for my whiter than white family...
I love this idea...how pretty... I got a bunch of these from an estate sale a few years ago...what a great way to use them.
 


It is such a perfect time for mom jeans to come back into fashion...
The 90's are also soo back.
Check out this awesome thrifted blouse I got today for 5 bucks!
Summer! I welcome you with open arms...
Have a wonderful weekend!
