the front steps

is where you will find me (and mike) all summer long

where does it all go

my current living situation doesn't leave room for many treasures...it's mostly just mikey, me and some clothes. so where am i putting it all? shoved into this bookshelf. that's right - i'm not even using any of this stuff. you can nominate me for hoarders here.

a certain someone

sported a holiday bandanna for a few festivities. i'm pretty anti-dog bandanna but come on - this one works.

home

it's been nice being home for almost a week. we had our christmas today and i'm back to the city tomorrow and then off to chicago on wednesday! can't wait!

christmas miracle

it doesn't seem as though mikey has even noticed that there is a tree in the house. we mikey-proofed a bit by getting a smaller tree and keeping it up on a coffee table, but he hasn't shown any interest in it anyway. he has shown some interest in jumping on me while i take a picture of the tree - but that made the lights look like candy canes, so i'm fine with it. thanks, mike.

chill grill

i crack myself up

the view

my bedroom at my parent's house has changed a lot since i lived there...less manic, more calming.

just me and my shadow

lazy sunday

corners of my home

 

i love this little spot. the plant + pot are from ikea and the vintage sewing table + yoyo runner are from my grandmom.
