Two tiny feet,
That wave in the air…
Two tiny hands,
That tug at your hair..
And an adorable little face,
A bundle of joy to love & embrace.

***************
I’m learning to laugh & play,

Love to smile

And my bright blue eyes light up the world~

But the fun has only just begun,
Lookout world, I’m turning one

We have loved watching you grow so far…

– uncle tim and i

Love You to pieces

Taylor Kate!

*it also happens to be the week that her dad turned 30!

happy 30th jeff- we love you too!

wishing you many more…

*wish i could be there today- my heart is there though*

-tim made the trip up and is enjoying his time there-

he’s going to document the ‘tutu & ties’ cookout today with photos

& i will post soon!

such a cute idea!

my friend, jess, gave tim and i are wedding gift last night-

she brought us back gorgeous lace placemats and a heart ornament from ireland

(where she was on our wedding day)

– so special.

thank you, jess <3.

the heat finally broke yesterday- which would be perfect timing for the campfire night that my friends were hosting last night in their beautiful new house-

it was such a great time… catching up with amazing friends of close to six years…

who are like family to me and i missed them so much traveling/moving this summer.

*so nice to put on my boots (my favorite clothing piece) for the first time this fall, with a scarf, red wine, friends, the campfire (made me feel like i was at home in the midwest), and an autumn breeze … the only downfall was that s’mores are definitely not paleo 🙁 ha …

AND they had the best idea- instead of using hershey’s chocolate- to use peanut butter cups … oh, I will be trying this in october 🙂

thank you so much, brookes!

it was so nice.

*however, before going last night, i did make the paleo cookie recipe from

wednesday’s ‘wellness wednesday’

delicious- so good!

plus, they only took about 10 min to prep- and then 6 minutes to bake-

so easy!

*and this was without the chocolate chips!!

this morning, i met a friend, who wanted to borrow some wedding decor

at the regional farmer’s market in charlotte-

wow.

fell instantly in love~

it’s huge, low priced, full of amazing fresh/local produce/flowers/crafts

it’s on yorkmont rd –

if you’ve never been- you should definitely check it out

all of this = $13 🙂

thank you for introducing the market to me, catelyn!

*plus it’s a BEAUTIFUL day- it’s about 75, sunny, and feels like autumn-

i went on a long walk this morning (i was actually chilly at first) followed by blackhawk’s amazing pandora around the house and football with friends later today- love.
