It's always fun to peek around someone else's home, right?  After Joey and Em moved out a couple weeks ago, I knew for sure that they (Em) would immediately set up their new house to be all cozy and inviting. But going inside was even better than I could have imagined.  They live only a mile or so away so we walked over. They painted the living room walls this pretty soft mauve and every little detail is just perfect. It is part desert sunrise, part Stevie Nicks, part forest hideaway. Lucy hadn't seen Em in almost two days, gasp! They were overjoyed to be reunited and started dancing immediately. She tested out their new thrifted chair: yep, pretty comfy!

we had a swirly little snowstorm start up in the middle of the day tuesday, the first snow of the winter here! we get really really excited when it snows since it's a pretty rare occurrence around these parts. it was so beautiful and peaceful watching the cold rain turn silently to snow. lucy was so excited when she noticed the snowflakes fluttering down outside the window by her changing table.  we quickly got her bundled up and jammed out to let her experience SNOW!
