Oh hey rosé! To get things feeling Friday festive around here I wanted to put together a little post on my favorite topic… rosé! Up until a few years ago I turned my nose up to “pink wine.” I thought it was a dated housewife drink. And then, a few summers ago, I found myself on a private jet to Paso Robles (you know, just a normal Tuesday) and the rosé was flowing! I had an amazing time and I was instantly hooked.

Now that I’m home every day and the weather is so nice I’ve been spending a lot more time in our backyard. Last year when we were doing our big home renovation we did a little updating to the backyard (see pictures below) and since then we’ve purchased a few things to utilize the space. We really lucked out with the size and have a lot of room to work with. That said there are still some things on our wish list and hopefully we’ll get them checked off before summer.

I am crazy obsessed with all things cozy and lounge-y right now. At 29 weeks pregnant I want to be as comfortable as possible at all times. Topping my list of current favorites is this blanket by Leesa. You may remember my mattress post with Leesa last spring, well I’ve partnered with them again to share this yummy blanket. Which has been the perfect companion on the chilly rainy days we’ve had lately. It’s super soft, but actually heavy enough to keep me warm… and for someone who shakes like a Chihuahua when they’re cold, that’s a huge win. It’s made from the same luxurious feeling fabric as their mattress cover and is double-sided for even more softness. It’s also Mackie approved, but that really doesn’t take too much….

It’s crazy to think I’ll be halfway through my pregnancy in just a couple weeks. Once we found out the sex it seemed like the most frequently asked questions I was getting were if we had a name picked out (we don’t) and what color we’re painting the nursery (we’re not). We remodeled our house earlier this year and decided to paint all the walls white. There’s just something so clean and bright about it and I love how much natural light we get. The room we’ll be using for the nursery is currently Jeff’s home office, but in the next few weeks we’re going to clear out the room and get started on it. I wanted to share the nursery inspiration I’ve been pinning.

When we finally moved into our house (you know, after a four-month re-model), we had so many things to decorate. Five months later we’re still not done… and to tell you the truth I’m not sure when we will be. But that’s ok! We kind of took the summer off but I’m just getting back into it and I realized one of the areas I really neglected was throw pillows on our brand new sofa.

Less than a week left in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and I just discovered the amazing home section. I guess I was living under a rock – better late than never! I’ve already found a handful of things I’m convinced I need… just don’t tell my husband. 😉
