These are some photos from our time visiting our dear friends Kel and Joe in New Hampshire. It was one of the hottest weekends in July, which meant lots of cool dips in the lake down the road, quiet reading in front of the fan, on the spot summery white sangria, and (of course) home…
giraffe
The other night, my kid was a giraffe and a lion in a performance. She took the whole thing very seriously, and when she did the tango with another lion, I was bursting. There was a pretend campfire and everything. I just had to share with you guys. Happy summer weekending to you. xo e

Summer Activity Board
Today’s guest blogger is my lovely and talented friend, Karen Jarsky. Karen is one of the most generous, creative, thoughtful people on the planet, and I was lucky enough to experience being a new mama at the same time as her. One quick memory before we move onto the fun stuff: We were walking our…

Jennifer’s shop is filled to the brim with lovely, unique, super high quality items for parents and children – all designed by artists and designers who are…

a slew of new
The daisies popped up over the weekend. Just above our daisy patch is a bird house with a nest of baby sparrows. This weekend, the mama bird was teaching her babes to fly by nudging them out of the house. We watched some of them on their first flight. I couldn’t get over the tiny,…

the town square
Last night, we visited The Taste of Amherst where there was local ice cream, lots of restaurants selling tasty bites, live music, and hula hoops. The air was thick with the smells of all different foods blending together into a cloud of vague deliciousness. I could tease out gyoza, pad thai, and barbeque from the…

stripey candle jar
This yarn wrapped candle jar was inspired by my friend Katie. I wish she had a blog or flickr account that I could point you towards because her design sense is just so lovely and charming. She is one of those people who is gifted with an eye for color, shape, and balance. She is…

As my friend Naomi‘s husband so brilliantly said: the weather is downright Hipstamatic. And, it was. I didn’t alter or filter any of these photographs. After the tornadoes and thunderstorms passed, the sky became an eerie shade of sepia, and orange light flooded our house. My heartfelt thoughts are with the families of those who…

Most of the long, summery weekend was spent writing and crafting. Some of it was spent eating at one of my most favorite restaurants and sipping sangria on my porch with dear friends. Almost none of it was spent with my kiddos and husband. Tom took the children on a lakeside adventure, so I…
beach glass blue
I made these glassy blue mouse cards as gifts for my Mouse and Chick’s teachers, and I just listed them in the shop as well. Happy long, holiday weekend to those in the states. May you drink too many lemonades and fall asleep in the grass. xo e
crab apple
This is one of my most favorite trees. The weight of the fruit causes it to hang low, making it the perfect hide-a-way for little ones. There are some downfalls to being this beautiful. It drops apples in October, and they tend to quickly rot and ferment with the scent filling our whole kitchen. And, …
