I've been so unbelievably happy ever since I heard the news yesterday.  Buzzfeed rounded up some of the best images and signs from outside the supreme court before and after the decision was made.  I'll admit, it makes me tear up to see all the happiness. Also, Wendy Davis, you're a real badass. Thank you for literally making a stand for women's rights.

This image of a mama and her baby makes me warm and fuzzy.  Wyatt and I have been enjoying each other lots and lots and I've been seizing every opportunity to get tons of snuggles and kisses in.  He's been following a pretty consistent schedule lately and has been doing really good at night.  The night before last, he slept 11 hours straight! I've studied up on some secrets (this blog is amazingly helpful for any of you with young babes) and we've finally established a nice rhythm.

Hello, flowy-easy-breezy Free People dress.  You are very lovely. I would love to travel on an amazing getaway with you in my suitcase.

The husband and I have committed to making over our screened-in porch and we're SO EXCITED! We've dropped some serious dough on amazing tile and we can't wait for it to come in so we can get started!  We ordered some terra cotta tile from Lowes and some specialty/decorative tile from a little store in our neighborhood.  Needless to say, it's going to be gorgeous.

Recently, I made a delicious cherry cobbler and it felt quintessential summer.  It reminded me of our last-minute camping trip to Michigan two years ago when we thought we were moving to Louisville but fate had a different timeline for us.  That was one fun mini-vacation.  We bought roadside cherries, camped in a beautiful forest, hiked the dunes and canoed.  Cherry cobblers are definitely a labor of love, well, making anything with fresh cherries is a tedious task.  But so very worth it!

Hope you all are having lovely weeks! It's almost Friday!

I think starting any blog post with a supremely handsome photo of Paul Rudd (my #1 celebrity crush, go KU!) and Adam Scott.  You're welcome :)  Via

Considering it's January and 22 degrees outside, I figured we could all use a little brightness in our lives.  Wouldn't this striped frock be a fantastic vacation dress?  Bonus, it's only $32! Via SheInside

I have to admit, I'm all about all things food these days.  This banana cream pie looks absolutely divine and I'm pretty sure I need to make it.  Yes, yes I do.  Via

How sweet is this photo? And that wallpaper? And that mushroom? Ah, my heart, it melts! Via

How gorgeous is this field?! Located in Ibaraki, Japan - someone should recreate this a little closer to home so I can go and most definitely get lost in its glory.  Via

I'm too happy for words!

Okay, this may be the wrong image to use here but....I can't stop cheesing.  I seriously can't.  Because, PEANUT IS HERE!!!!

On Valentine's Day, Hadley & Ryan became parents to a beautiful baby boy!  He is absolutely perfect!  I am so incredibly happy for them; it's going to be so awesome to meet the one and only baby Liam!  I can't believe I'm writing that...for so long, Peanut has been a mystery, with all of us wondering (and pretty much counting on intuition) if Peanut was indeed a boy or if we were all going to be thrown a whirl!  I just can't believe he's here!  I'm so anxious to hear about the moment mommy and daddy met their son for the first time; it makes my heart swell just thinking about it!  Eeps!  Such a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Olive!

Ladies and gentledudes, my step-sister's beautiful baby girl, Olive!

I love her.  She's always smiling and quiet and happy and loving.  She's a lil' angel!
