Welcome to my new series! I am having a little technical difficulty for some reason with my polyvore sets, so bear with me.
The point of the new series to remind us all to have fun getting dressed in the morning. Just because you're trudging through your typical day to day, doesn't mean you can't look great. I'm going to occasionally (weekly) put together accessible outfits for a casual lifestyle. I call the aesthetic "Put-together playground." Sound fun? I think so. I will also throw in some luxury items just for fun. Take these ideas and run with them. Getting dressed in the morning should stimulate your brain. Don't just throw on your yoga pants and that old t-shirt! You never know who you'll run into in Target. This is my small effort to fight the "slouchification of America" (thank you, Tim Gunn, for being awesome).

Hope you'll enjoy this! If you have any request for outfit ideas for specific outings, please leave a comment.

PS- The links aren't working for few items: toddler t's and owl jumper are from Mini Boden, the spotty lunch thermal is from Land of Nod.

Dear July,

You were hot. Really hot. Ridiculously hot even. But I've been waiting for you to come all year because I couldn't wait for my poster calendar in the Kitchen to display this:

I'm a little sad that come Monday, I'll be taking you down. Thanks for bringing popsicle happiness to our house.

Dear July 2012 in the Linnea poster calendar,
You are also amazing, and I will look forward to you hopefully gracing my walls.

Yard Work

These make me so happy!!
And so do my zinnias, especially since the whole seed packet cost like $0.88.
This is where I am not succeeding. I think my roses may need to RIP...and that boxwood bush behind as well. How did these roses get so creepy looking?!
Should have pictures to show you soon of my veggies!
And a special thanks to Amy Free for the new blog header- yay!

Sorry...

for the weird posts in your reader, if you got those. Apparently my Polyvore account thought it needed to load lots of randoms directly onto the blog.
Oops.
Happy Friday!

More catching up-Beach Trip

Here's the recap from our beach trip in May with a lot of Hedgspeth's. We headed back to North Topsail Island (NC) for another week of perfect weather, good food, and laziness. What else could you ask for in a week at the beach? Its so great to have this time together in the same house for a full week. I love that we're not just grabbing dinner; we're together all day, all week. The big treat for the week was having Katy and Brian join us from Connecticut. We haven't spent much time together in the last few years, so I was quite thankful for time with my cousin. And I'm pretty sure that all the children are obsessed with Brian after all the sandcastle building, wave surfing, game playing, fishing, etc.

Let's giggle about how posed I look in that group shot....an effort to avoid a smooshed arm gone wrong.
And I like how much brother Ben looks like a robot in that one.


Sadie LOVED the beach. Here's some evidence...

Pigtails!!
Can't wait until next year!
