Far out finds!

 While in California a few weeks ago a close family friend generously gave me over 10 boxes of fun treasures to bring back home to Portland. I sorted everything into two piles of what I would be packing in my suitcase and what my mom would have to drive up. Here is just a tiny peek at what was inside these bad boys.

Loving the bright colors! 

 

 So cool!!

 There was lots of bitchen old Disney items. I saved most of it for Miles and his room.

The silhouettes are probably my most favorite thing I kept. 

Ya know, I didn't do much other thrifting while out of town which is crazy bizarre for me but I just wasn't feeling it. I was so happy and busy with the boxes I received that I felt it compensated for the lack of  other picking that didn't happen. No biggie! I love thrifting as much as the next but when you do it to make an income (my mall space and Etsy) sometimes I can feel burnt out. Ok... well that's a lie because I absolutely love thrift shopping while on vacation however this trip I felt like I needed a little break from everything including my phone and internet. The few thrift stores I did manage to squeeze in were real gems though!

Ooohh, I love these sweet babies! I have lots of love for cutie pie salt and pepper shakers.

Lets take a vacation!

My kiddo and I are flying into San Diego bright and early Monday morning for almost two weeks! We are surely going to miss papa dearly but am so excited to see my family back home. I can't wait to squeeze my nieces, go to the movies with them and take Miles swimming! I'm traveling smart this time- one smaller suitcase inside a much larger one for all of the loot I bring home. I seem to always do my best thrifting while out of town and almost always have to borrow an extra suitcase to bring all the new junk home in. Did I mention that we are really going to miss my honey? Fingers crossed for a smooth flight!

Hi, Hello!

Hey guys! I miss it around here. Lots of sweetness is happening around my home lately. Miles is changing every day and weighs almost 13 pounds and is 24 inches long now! Say what!? Yup, hes a biggie. Its sort of funny because we actually had a hard time getting him back up to his birth weight for the first three weeks. I started obsessing over his eating, not to mention the lactation specialist had filled us in that I have thrush. So because my poor boobies were in pain and were medicating we had to formula feed him half of the time. Once we started formula he gained weight in no time and I could start worrying about the next thing to happen...you know its the truth, that's how our new mommy brains work! If I can brag for a moment and say that Papa and I are so very blessed to have radical child. He is a wonderful sleeper, enjoys the car, LOVES to eat and rarely cries (but totally does fuss, hes not a robot baby!) Hes having a hard time not sleeping on my chest at night so our goal this week is to be repetitious with him laying on his back in my arm nook. Not only is he just too heavy to sleep on me now but its becoming a real pain on my neck and back. 

Miles, papa and I are heading to southern California to show off our wee one to friends and family the beginning of March. We cant wait for sunny days and family love! Papa is staying for a few days but babe and I are going for almost two weeks, Hell yes vacation! 

For some reason music wasnt a huge part of my life during my pregnancy and its very unlike me. So lately Ive been picking up a few records here and there and am really loving music time at home with M. We dance around the living room and he smiles when I sing terribly off key to him. I cant wait till hes a little tyke and we can sing our favorite songs together! Now ya'll have to know that I am way out of touch with pretty much all new music so our jams usually consist of Thin Lizzy, The Stones, Nina Simone and lots of 70's southern rock. Miles sure doesn't mind.
