Texture Clothing Giveaway

It's a well-known fact around here that I LOVE Texture Clothing. We've held several giveaways for Teresa's delicious creations (here & here).  Buttery soft and the perfect amount of stretch? Yes please. Pretty colors and styles that can go anywhere? Love it! At the beginning of my pregnancy with Emma, I ordered two of these simple cowl tanks and continued to wear them throughout...all the way through my 9th month!

But the best surprise came AFTER she was born...when I discovered that they make amazing nursing shirts as well! I'm constantly in search of "regular" shirts that are easy to nurse in...and because I like to pull them down from the top to nurse, they need to be super stretchy. The cowl tank is perfect. It keeps it's shape and is flattering for many body types. Love love love it. *check out the photo out take here :)

I also have the short sleeved simple cowl tee and I love it just as much as the tanks. This purple color is so gorgeous in person...it has beautiful flecks of blue in it (side note...there is a Superhooper polypro giveaway happening right now at my blog, The Happy Hoop...hence the photo).

:: Up for grabs is your choice of simple cowl tee...tank, short sleeve, or half sleeve ::

*Big thanks to Matt and Bella for taking the photos above! And because I know someone will ask...the patchwork apron skirt in the first photo is from ChopstixWaits and the shoes are Birkenstock Gizehs. The pants are Texture posh pants (adore!). And the bottom skirt is a little gem from Shauna at Poor Pitiful Pearl.

Have a happy day!

Glittering Moments

“Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won’t happen. We have to teach ourselves how to make room for them, to love them, and to live, really live.”

* Anna Quindlen, A Short Guide to a Happy Life

* * * * * * * * I've been thinking so much lately about "moments" and what moments I will remember when our children are all grown. I am so thankful for my iPhone...an amazing tool to capture and organize all of those moments into one place. In 50 years, I will look through these with my grandchildren and smile as I remember all of these good things. It's not the chaos or the dirty floors that I will remember. It will be the magic. The glittering moments.

My sweet Lucy turned THREE yesterday! Her spunk...her style...her passion for life...I love her so. It's been so fun to see her personality develop over this last year. She wants so badly to be just like her big sister, and yet she has her very own way of doing things. Every day with her is a joy. Often challenging, but still pure joy.

We've been enjoying our Wednesday afternoons spent with our unschooling group. Such freedom and acceptance. It's a beautiful group of families and I am recharged by our time together. Play is so important!

Little Miss Emma is 6 weeks old already! Her arms and legs are getting rolls and she is changing every day. She loves her sisters. And nursing.  But not the car. :)  My sister and brother-in-law and Matt's mom are all flying out next week (along with my parents as well!)...and they get to meet her for the first time. Can't wait to introduce them to  this little pumpkin.

A delightful day on Pearl in Boulder with Natalie. Sushi to die for. Coffee. Thrifting. People watching. Reading greeting cards and laughing until we cried. I savored every moment.

My morning yerba mate ritual makes me SO happy. I look forward to it every morning. My new mug makes it even happier.

We bought a 1995 Palomino pop-up camper! We're looking forward to taking it out this weekend for our first "real" camping trip in a long time. We won't be remodeling...except for maybe a new floor and a little more color. Can't wait to get out around the campfire!

We spent an afternoon and evening with our friends Jen and Jarod, along with their 3 kiddos. They are the family who bought our last Class A motorhome. Super fun to connect again and swap stories from the road!

Life with littles. I never want to forget these days.

Our family of five! Still hard to believe...

I hope you're all having a great week...remember to CAPTURE THE MOMENTS!

Flow

I'm still here! I have so much I want to write about and share with you...if only there were more hours in the day. :) We are slowly acclimating to a new schedule and our new normal...it usually takes us a few months after a birth to find our flow. We've had really good days and really challenging days. But I feel the inspiration flowing again, so stick around! Lots of fun to be had this summer.

All my love... Sara
