You be the Judge

People ask me all the time if Oliver looks like Will did at his age. I always say I am not sure. So tonight I went through some of Will's pictures as a baby. I don't think they look that similar.

Here is Will at 7 months...since I wasn't a good mom and didn't get the 6 month picture.

Oliver at 6 months.

kid post

I saw a friend yesterday that said she wanted to see updated pictures of my boys. I realized I have been slacking. It's so much faster to upload photos from off the web.

But decided to do a post for those of you who would like to see the boys, and those who don't care...well, just don't read further.

Will is 3 1/2 and entered that very cheesy faze when we take pictures. He is all boy, but still loves to snuggle his mommy.
Little Oliver is 6 months tomorrow...seems crazy that it's gone so fast. He is such a sweet boy, but definitely can make himself heard. He loves to talk and is very loud...kind of like someone else I live with. (The kid gets it honest)
I watched Bek's kids the other day and Will was still in the bath and Josh came in and wanted to get in too, so here is one with them in the bubble bath.
Gare Bear wasn't so sure.
Will has really started enjoying Oliver. He is so sweet to him and has started being a great big brother. He is very protective. We met a family, who the mom was saying they have a nephew Oliver, and right away Will was saying, 'no, he's my Oliver'.
This was Oliver at 5 months. I thought I would post then, but it is now a month later, and I am just getting it up.
Oliver and Will right after Oliver's shots.
Oliver rolling over the first time...Will wasn't sure he wanted him to yet.
The little guy is a paper airplane freak. Loves them.
When Bek's kids came over, Darci found a couple feathers in the dress up box and a random leaf and I found them here a little later.
So, there you have a few recents around here.

Breakfast with Audrey

This morning I thought I would do a post on the style of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', the movie, which is not a great movie...terrible morals and she is not a character to model your life after. But modeling your fashion sense after her is not so bad.

I watched this movie years ago and remember loving all her clothes...
from the dress, the necklace, the sunglasses to the hair.
I remember wanting an eye mask and ear plugs like these.
I worked at Talbots when I watched this movie and they sold a pair of sunglasses that were real big like hers and I bought them for my sister, Bek. Bek went along with them and wore them, and then a few years later the big sunglasses came into style. It was fun to see a fashion trend that I liked come back into style.
Great coat and hat.
Love the trench coats.
Pretty in pink.
Such cute pants and sweatshirt.
Love it.
Enjoy your Thursday!

Chicago Real Estate


Whenever we are in Chicago for a day I love walking down a side street to see the beautiful homes and imagine living there for a few moments.

I came across this beauty (online) the other day. Isn't it so charming and fabulous on the inside.
Boy's room.
Love the chandelier, and of course the black fireplace.
How would you like to eat dinner here...and I wouldn't mind going up and down these beautiful stairs.
Such a great family room. I always have a dream of someday having a long skinny dining table like this one and putting it in my family room. I did have mine pictured by the french doors, but this way is so much nicer, because it doesn't block the view.
And isn't this den, or man's lair so great? It's masculine, but not so much that a woman couldn't feel comfortable here too.
