U pick, I eat...

Lila and I followed some signs to a U-pick strawberry patch not too far from our house {read: we'll be doing this a lot for the next several weeks}  Decidely, the early season here, in NC + Oregon's late season = year-round strawberry heaven. 

 

forty years...

Today is my parent's 40th wedding anniversary.  They are such a beautiful inspiration of how to love and grow together as a couple.  I'm so thankful to have such lovely people to call my own.  Happy wedded bliss Mom and Dad!

{we got to spend the day with them last year as well... on the Oregon coast}

happy weekend...

We're off to the outer banks for a long, celebratory weekend with our family... I'm looking forward to introducing Lila to the Atlantic coast, an insane amount of sunscreen, and taking a long stroll out to the very tip of the island.  xo.

various NC gems I found while scoping out our new hometown on etsy...

moonshine T, lucky strike pic, full steam soap, skyline cards, hand printed toms

lucky love...

This is my little friend, Artie.  He's been accompanying my mix {and granting my wishes} all week long.  Artie was purchased from the Franklin Mint long ago and given by my Nonno {grandfather} to my Babcia {grandmother}.  I just love him.

It's been a gorgeous week, L and I have been doing nothing except playing outside... {and working on potty training, which apparently means a lot of laundry for me.} We celebrated R getting his first grant, YAY Daddy!!  And I've started to organize my closet for spring, which is definitely here in full force... it's hot already y'all!  I know real life is gonna kick in here eventually, and I'll have to get back to work.  but for right now, I just can't get enough of spending time with my lovely Lila.

hope you have a very green St. Patty's day!  be back with more next week.
