This is about my personal style. So if you don’t care, just keep scrolling. I am trying to be inspired for clothes for our photos this weekend. So, naturally, I turn to EmmersonMade.

lamp love…

I rarely go, but every once in a while I will find something at the goodwill that can be given a little love and easily fit in my home. These lamps @ $5 each +  yellow paint + new lamp shade = perfect bedside lamp set… Still deciding on lamp shade colors….hence the plastic…but you get the idea… Sweet! cheers, s

some {potential} beauties…

Pretty stoked we were able to pick these pieces up the other day… {1} I know some of you will judge for painting this one…but the picture looks WAY better than it is. {2} Yes, it is solid wood…..great detailing….but a HOT MESS….the color is all funky and it needs some serious love. ~~~ Working on the trunk now….thank you ALL for your color suggestions! It was VERY helpful and I think I know just what to do…. Have a Read More

Turning 2 is so hard to do…

I am so excited about today… My daughter has no idea what is going on, but it is her birthday and MAMA is trying desperately to make her excited about it. {in other words: MAMA  is being a FREAK and she doesn’t know why}. Perhaps I am TOO excited…she had “birthday yogurt” this morning and “birthday jelly” on her sandwich and she gets a LOT of birthday kisses. Ok, so I am not actually doing anything out of the ordinary, Read More

hello my dears, i am here…

I AM BACK. It’s been a while, but here I go again. FIRST, to sum up the past few months… A;SDLFJAOSDIJF;LAKDSFJODSAIJF;ALKDJS It. Was. Crazy. Too busy to blog some say? What? Yes. Good- but K-razy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Topsail 2010 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First, the family beach trip for a week… Linc’s job was to keep watch over the stroller that lay under the tent…he did fantastic… (please note how skinny his little legs are…he is only 2.5 weeks old!) Why, yes, we did Read More

ella wednesday: now i have two kids & squash and zucchini…

Going from one to two kids is no walk in the park- especially when you opt to have them both under TWO YEARS OLD. Dividing my attention evenly without brooding jealously is my biggest task when it comes to Ella…while she a GREAT big sister, she is a smart cookie and knows when to start the “I am desperately needy right now because you are holding Lincoln and not me, I think I will freak out now” tantrum. GOOD NEWS? Read More

a photo story: Lincoln James Torrence…

Ok everyone. I am back. I have a reDONKulous amount of stuff to share. FIRST and foremost is my son, Lincoln. Today he is exactly 2 weeks old and OH MAN do I love this boy. He is so perfect. He eats and sleeps really well (which I could not say the same about my daughter) and I couldn’t be more blessed. My one and ONLY complaint is that he is very gassy….BUT, like father like son, right?  Too much Read More

SO Because my child refuses to come out on his own, I will be induced tomorrow morn. BOOO for inducing. YAY for not being pregnant a day longer. It may be a week or so until I post again which REALLY STINKS for all of YOU because I have 3 new pieces just dying to be photographed….but alas it will all have to wait on LINCOLN JAMES TORRENCE. When you see me again, I will be a super skinny super Read More
