Bear with me on this post, friends, it has been an exciting month! We love summer!

Makeshift pools and cute suits are almost a daily staple around here!

Lunch with eight of her friends that are under the age of four and nine adults. It was a sight.

A crop top on a baby. Who would have thought it would be so cute!?!

E visited her friend Nora at the zoo!

As much as I love my mornings with my eighth graders, this is my happy place.

Stopped by Columbus Commons for some Jeni’s! The food truck court is open 11-2 every Thursday until October!

I mean…

Celebrated papa! We sure love him!

Started reading The Nightingale. SO GOOD!

I love having E be big enough to sit up front now. REALLY frees up a lot of space in the cart. Plus, now I have a people watching buddy!

Y’all. If you are local, you MUST try Pistacia Vera. Must.

I look a hot mess because I just generally am and when a stranger takes your photo you only get one shot. But, I had to share. It’s baby girl’s first baseball game and we take our baseball games very seriously! And by seriously I mean we mostly just love to eat and drink outdoors.

Oh, the high chair. What was once a fun place to be because she could sit up, has now become a cage. Feed me, then get me outta here! We have also started trying sippy cups and E loves them!

We have a fairly graceful crawler! She gets where she needs to be!

While we were out running errands, E fell asleep in her Solly wrap which has become rare because she just wants to watch everything. It warmed my mama heart!

Yesterday, Eleanor had her six month well visit and she did so great! She is about 20 pounds which puts her in the 94th percentile, 55th for height. We love our pediatrician if anyone local ever needs a great one!

The last month has gone by so quickly! I feel so very thankful for my summer with Eleanor.

And now…the moment you’ve all been waiting for…the winner of the Freshly Picked Giveaway is…ANNA P.! Congrats!! Be on the lookout for an email from me later today! Thank you to all who entered!!

I hope you all have a great day!

Eleanor is getting more and more curious about the world around her. It is so fun to watch!

Our little Valentine needed a little spoiling this holiday! We gave her this book, these leggings, this giraffe, and a lovely tee from Jean and June!

I hope hope hope her eyes stay this blue. Alas, genetics will probably turn them green/brown. Also: this was her third Valentine’s day outfit due to a series of lovely blowouts.

You guys. I printed pictures. Like, actually, physically printed them. 500 of them. My mom was the best about taking and printing pictures when we were kids and it is so so fun looking through all of them. I resolve to be better!

Reading to E is just about my favorite thing to do. Books with lots of colors and almost no words are her favorite. We love this book!

Today was E’s two month appointment. I was absolutely dreading it. Not only does it mean she is getting big, but it was the SHOTS appointment. I brought all of her favorite things and I skipped the mascara!

Turns out the appointment was harder for me. She let out a little cry, but they are fast and before we knew it, it was over. Now let the extra cuddles commence!

Next week she officially turns two months! Back to the dreaded yellow chair we go! She will definitely thank me one day. I am sure of it.

Have a great weekend, friends!
Erin

The House Girl
By: Tara Conklin

Good morning! It’s been awhile since I’ve written one of these. Mostly, because this is the first non-school related book I’ve read in probably a year. Oy!

I highly recommend adding this book to your summer reading list. I love when novels switch perspectives between chapters. This book, switches between a modern day lawyer looking for a plaintiff for a reparations lawsuit she’s working on and a woman working as a house slave in Virginia. Each woman unraveling the same story, chapter by chapter.

Definitely a page turner!

Happy reading and a very happy Thursday!
Erin

Ps. Don’t forget to enter the Rodan + Fields Giveaway! Winners announced tomorrow!

Current literary obsession: Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed
By: Glennon Doyle Melton

This has been one of the most inspiring books I’ve ever read. This writer is so real and so identifiable, you get the feeling that you are hearing yourself. I don’t care if you are 21 or 80. You will love this book and you will read it in one day. You will want to highlight every passage. This is a book I recommend rereading whenever you can. She will make you laugh, and cry, and think.

Please read this book as soon as possible and let me know what you think!

Happy reading,
Erin

My current literary obsession: The Silver Star
By: Jeannette Walls

So I am going to keep this short because the summary of this book horribly spoils the book. It has the same vibe as her other novels…you cannot put it down! A must read this Fall!

Happy Thursday!
