surprise surprise — it's a boy!
Hello everyone! I am now a mama to two little ones (which explains the radio silence as these past few weeks have flown by — holy cow, two kiddos under two keep you busy!!) On February 11th, we welcomed Leo Guthrie L'Italien into our lives. He was the second biggest surprise ever, since...
Wowza! What a giveaway. My favorite is the vintage revival portfolio bag in yellow you posted about. I've been solely toting around canvas backpacks for my bag/diaper bag. Would be nice to have a leather bag that's functional and more chic.

a spring bag wardrobe {giveaway}...
Thanks to all your amazing comments on my handbag post with Fossil on Monday, Fossil has kindly offered to give away a very big gift to one lucky reader...a $1000 gift card to go towards a spring bag wardrobe from Fossil! To enter, simply visit Fossil's website, and then leave a comment here ...
Aw, thanks Molly! Yes, I imagine in the chaos with two little kiddos there should be some great material there to write on. :)

Hello, friends. Where have I been? I certainly have been a delinquent blogger. I wanted to share in this post, and another I've written and will share tomorrow, why I've taken such a long blogging break. The little (big) secret that simply explains my radio silence — I'm pregnant! And I'm act...
Agreed. Thanks for the sweet congratulations, Alli!

Thank you for this! I feel the same way about blogging. And I feel a special kinship to anyone who's gone through hyperemesis gravidarum. Virtual hugs to you.

Thanks for this sweet note! I love the phrase "recovering perfectionist". I think that describes me, as well.

Thanks for this sweet note, Cynthia. I love the idea of Juniper having a special language with her sister/brother!

Rita, thanks for your sweet note. I definitely think I can be my own worst critic, so it feels liberating to let go of some of my own lofty expectations. Happy to hear your husband found a job. We're keeping fingers crossed over here.

Stacy, I feel like I just got tweeted at from a celebrity! Seriously, amazing to receive a comment from one of my own personal mentors. I'm so touched by your kind words. I learned so much about voice and authenticity from you, in all honesty. Thank you for taking the time to read my little blog post, and thanks for saying all this. And congrats, by the way, on your new post at BlogHer! They're lucky to have you.

Congrats to you, Kara! And thanks for the encouragement. Really means a lot. Also, I've had the same experience of forgetting all the time that I'm pregnant (once the sickness passed.) It's so different the second time around.

Thanks, Lexi. We're in love with her name, too (obviously). She is quite the free spirit – she definitely lives up to her name.

These days, most of the books I'm reading come from Juniper's library, but I did manage to finish one grownup book (that I didn't want to put down it was so good.) I loved the book Bringing Up Bébé. It has me thinking (still) about kids and autonomy, different ways to discipline (or educate), ...
Thanks for the tip! Will have to check those out as well ;)

Ann,
Thanks for sharing and for your words of encouragement. It's great to hear — and that's a really helpful travel tip, too. It's so true that food allergies are so much more common now and talked about more, and it's much easier with food labels now than when we were growing up.

Hey Erinne,
Eeep, that's so exciting! I bought my Mei Tai from Caribou Baby. They even have a webshop now if you're not local — or you could call them up and they'll ship you the carrier you want with normal US shipping costs. They're still adding products to the site, so right now they don't have the Mei Tai on the webshop, but they do phone orders all the time. Here's a link to their site: http://www.cariboubaby.com/collections/featured-products
Best of luck!

Since some of you asked, and since it's a subject that I feel passionately about, I thought I'd share my experience with babywearing. But I do want to first say that I'm not an expert on the topic, nor do I think there's one right way of doing anything parenting-wise — and every baby is dif...
Oh, and the sun bonnet is from Rikshaw Design. :)

Thanks, Giovanna! So exciting — not too much longer till you meet your little one! The gray bonnet and the white knit hat were actually both from Caribou Baby. It's really my go-to place for most anything for Juniper.

Thanks, Greg! You and Adriane have been so incredibly helpful. I'm so happy to have Caribou in the neighborhood.

Thanks for the sweet note, Elby! We fell in love with the name early on in my pregnancy (even though I thought for sure I was having a boy!).

Thanks for the note, Amanda! Best of luck to you and your husband. It's a really fun ride being a mama. And it's so true — you really don't need a lot of the equipment. The simple stuff seems to keep them the happiest.
