nesting + inspiration = bliss

                                                         (yesterday at the park)
Since our household goods have not arrived yet, we have tons and tons of free time!! That means plenty of afternoon naps, trips to the park, hanging out at Barnes & Noble, going to bed early, reading and relaxing. The weather here these past few days have been surprisingly warm for this time of year...most of the snow has melted and there are just patches here and there. I am actually quite disappointed because I wanted to make a snowgirl with Tara!!

                                                     (big girl Tara climbing)
I simply can't believe how big my little girl has grown!! I mean...everyone tells you how fast the time all flies by but until you actually experience it...it's kind of hard (impossible) to grasp. She turns 3 at the end of this month and...I am just enjoying her as much as possible. While part of me is just so proud and excited to see her grow up...there's another part of me that wants to keep her my little baby girl forever. Do you know what I mean??
                                                   (a few days ago with daddy)
Okay!! Tara is a total daddy's girl...these two are inseparable. This pic was taken at our (newly discovered) fave. pizza parlor just minutes away from our house. They have a New York style pizza here that is to die for. Could be dangerous us living so close:)

(spinach and artichoke quiche...so yummy)
Lots and lots of eating out these days...back to basics when we get settled in but for now...I am just enjoying it:)
Reading through this book at Barnes and Noble today and totally loving it!! Very inspired by her philosophy of using what you have and creating a home that is warm + functional + clutter free. She talks about creating beauty with old, meaningful objects and re purposing existing items in new ways. Love!!

Tara is already a bookworm which makes me ever so happy and proud. She loves playing with the train set at the bookstore but inevitably...she will grab a book and curl up with it.
And this made my heart sing right here...to see the Winter Somerset Gallery all stacked up in the art/crafts section of the bookstore... with my name on the cover!!! Please forgive me for going on and on about it but...I still can't get over it!
