A little Lunchbox date =)

 I figure I need to start doing more posts of some of our favorite places in Brooklyn.  This morning Ryan and I went to Lunchbox for a little egg and cheese goodness on a roll.  This is something you can find at any old bodega in Brooklyn, but Lunchbox does it with class and sass =)  When the time comes to move back to Oregon I will miss my $2.50 breakfast at this splendid little place =)

It's about three blocks from our place!

They make some yummy sandwiches and smoothies too...

The shelves are lines with vintage lunchboxes...xoxo

Heart it...

He was covering his cute bald head =)

Not as much as I love this guy though...he leaves tomorrow for 8 whole days =( for work.  Got any chick flick recommendations??

Whirlwind week with my two favorite girls..

 What an amazing week I had with Nora and Kelsi!!!  Man o man did we have a blast!!! We ate, shopped, had girl time, nap time, and Joshua Radin time (Uncle Ry rocked at babysitting) !!!! In between all this I got in a load of kisses on Nora's cheeks. Here is our picture montage =)

not in focus, but still so cute!!!

Times Square before the concert =)

 I think we are Joshua's biggest fans!!

 

Wish I were here Wednesday...

Olivia over at For Me does this post every Wednesday and I thought I would join in the fun =)  Her and I met through YoungLife and kicked butt together on a co-ed volleyball league when we lived in Eugene.  She has great style and I'm excited for when we live in Portland someday so we can hangout =)

So....here it is...I wish I was here....

Isn't this the cutest coziest tent EVER!!!!!???

5 of my faves Tuesdays!!!

 Well the cold and snow has come back to New York =(  and I am NOT too happy about it!! So today lets look at some things that have been making me smile and feel inspired.... shall we???

 5. Oh so adorable owl pillows =)

4. Laura Amiss's Etsy shop...xoxo

1. These Dolce Vita clogs....I'm saving up and I think I will wear them all through Spring =)


What are you loving these days???

Work in Progress =)

 I recently mentioned my Love for all things Chevron and my desire to crochet a blanket...well, I am on my way!!! I am loving how it is turning out, but I'm not loving the dent it will have to make in my bank account...this is going to be one huge blanket (or a nice little lap quilt).  It is definitely keeping me occupied in the evenings, but it is so enjoyable and mindless once I finally figured out what the heck I was doing =) This could take years people!!!!

I chose my three favorite colors!!!! Oh and I used this video to learn how, I think you all should make one along with me =)

I'm waiting for my sis to email me pics of our crazy adventurous week...can't wait to share them with you all!!!

Love is in the air...

 Happy Valentines day all!!! I'm so excited to have two days off with my sis and baby Nora....Ryan has been sick which is absolutely no fun =( Today we are off to explore 5th Ave. and do a little shopping...in honor of Valentines Day I thought I would share a few lovey dovey things with you including some of my favorite pics of me and my favorite guy....

5 of my faves Tuesdays!!!

 I don't know if I mentioned to my blogger friends that for my Birthday Ryan blessed me with the gift of flying my sister and little niece Nora to New York.  They get here Friday morning and I am beyond excited!!! I can't wait to lounge around with them and of course go shopping!!! I'm sure I will have a ton of pictures coming your way of our exciting adventures =) but until then, here are 5 of my faves....



5. Angus and Julia Stone...."Big Jet Plane" I was bummed I couldn't embed the music video =( I want to use it in one of our wedding videos!!!

3.  Giant scrabble tiles!!!! Perfect gift for your valentine =)

 2. Braids =)

1. Sweet Valentine cards....anything that reminds me of Love Actually is a must!!!

Loving all things West Elm!!!

 I remember living in Oregon and dreaming about going into this store someday (we only got the magazine out there).  So you can only imagine the sudden gasp that came from my mouth when I saw a West Elm strolling along the streets in Manhattan. I love finding home decor stores that have little trinkets that I can afford to make my home beautiful!! Oh, and the larger things I can't but can save up for =)

I think these little driftwood stands would be so cute in a baby's room....I'm loving all that natural wood and organic feels in a nursery =)

This makes me want to jump back into bed....ahhhhh.





See you a little later for 5 of my faves this week!!!!
