{A LITTLE RAIN CAN BE PRETTY TOO}

Are these little mobiles not especially perfect for the West Coats inhibitor? I LOVE this Whimsical Rain Cloud Mobile for a child's nursery handmade by The Butter Flying! You can find these adorable little creations on her Etsy shop! It's no wonder I pounced right to the blushy pink powdery shades {insert eyeroll here} but it looks like she absolutely takes custom orders. Like the very last photo ~ a lovely jewel toned custom piece with a star & moon accent, headed to Australia to sit above an equally lovely little sleeping babe. I absolutely want one when it comes time to need one ... these are just so unique and so delicate looking. Perhaps even an olive green, grey and white for a boy? Check out her designs in the above Etsy link. I encourage you to poke around at other Etsy shops too ... there are some extra unique pieces out there for you and for your home, just like these :)

I do hope the rain can stay a away a little just for the weekend perhaps ... I have plenty planned and I'd love to wear sandals and fun dress for most of it if at all possible ;) It's Ryder's Second Birthday this weekend so I'm really excited to go snap a few action shots of him diving into his cake, tearing open gifts and being gushed at by a house full of people that love him. I've probably mentioned it before but in case I haven't Ryder is my best friend, Laura's, son. Along with Ryder's Birthday, it's mine and Ben's One Year Wedding Anniversary. All I can is time flies ... it's been an amazing first year and I think we grew taller not only together but individually. It was a big year for both of us in terms of careers and accomplishments and I've enjoyed being able to focus and spend the time together just him and I. For all those inquiring with love ;) ... Ben and I both absolutely want to start a family. However, we are both so very much wanting to have a few things pegged down before we do. So that's what we're doing :) We've got a plan. We're planners and it works for us right now. We're feeling like the harder we work to get our careers in order, the better of a position we'll be in. I know we've told a few people our plan and they say to us "you'll never be ready though!" I can appreciate the thought but I KNOW we can be a little more ready than we currently are, in terms of a home especially. That's number one for both Ben and I ... a home. I do feel like we've made this place our home in many ways, but it's not actually ours and I think both of us would thrive in a space that we can do what we want with. That's our story and we're stickin to it ;) Enjoy today, rain and all friends because it can be kinda pretty too!
