Mama Loves Thrifting
Here’s a look at some of my recent finds.
A pretty mid century floral platter, two Blue Heaven plates, eight melamine plates and a sugar & cream set, an adorable ceramic squirrel dish, a pretty yellow floral plate, and a orange floral juice glass.
A globe for the girls to enjoy.
Pretty yellow pillow cases.
And a TON of vinyl. Here are a few of my favorites.
I also found a...

Mama Loves Thrifting
One afternoon this week, I had some time between clients, so I took the opportunity to run over to a thrift shop near my work that I had never been to. I’ve tried to shop there before, but I could never time it to when they were actually open. This time, I finally had success. I only had a few minutes to browse, but I found a few neat things.
one: A plastic vintage Cinderella. Maybe a...

Modern Mommy House Tour: The Florida Room
Our house was built by my Grandmother in 1959. She raised my mother and her siblings here, then my parents raised my sister and I here. Now, I am raising my girls here, and I feel so lucky to live in a house with 50+ years of family history in it.
Living in Florida, a lot of the homes included a bonus room called a Florida Room. Typically these were more like patios without a/c and lots of...

Preschool Style {Navy + Yellow}
When Amelia saw the photos I took this morning of her sister with the flowers while she was at school, she insisted I take some photos of her with the azaleas, too.
Amelia’s dress is from Old Navy, it’s on sale right now for only $8, and her sandals are from Salt Water.

An Early Spring
Maggie and I went outside to look at the garden this morning, when I noticed that our azalea bushes are in full bloom, a month early.
Welcome, spring.

Vintage Yellow Love
I recently found a vintage yellow gingham sheet while out thrifting. The possibilities of what I can do with it are endless. My mother knows someone who sews, and is going to ask her if she will make a skirt for both of my girls with this sheet. I think they would be for perfect spring!
Here are a few of my favorite things made with yellow gingham that I found in a recent Etsy search.

Our Fine Feathered Friends
I went thrifting a week ago, and fell in love with a vintage bird cage. I’ve been thinking about this bird cage ever since. This morning, I stopped back by the Salvation Army to see if it was still there. I was certain it would not be. I had priced other mid-century bird cages for over $100, so surely this beauty marked at $30 would no longer be there, but it was. I quickly stuck it in my...

Maggie {21 months}
My little Maggie is so grown up, she is so much fun and so much work right now.
She is curious, silly, and sweet, and constantly on the go. I hate the term terrible two’s, because this age is really not terrible, just a little challenging at times. I still have some tricks up my sleeve from when Amelia was this age, so I feel better prepared this time around.

Preschool Style {Valentine's Day}
Amelia is so excited for her Valentine’s Day party at school this morning. She looked adorable in her new dress & stockings, which are both from Old Navy.
Lots of love to you and yours today. Happy Valentine’s Day!

A Hoot of a Shower
I attended a sweet friend’s baby shower today. She is decorating her little girl’s room with an owl theme, and received lots of super cute owl things for her nursery. Being around all of those little booties & clothes makes me feel nostalgic, and reminds me how fast time passes. Lots of love, M. I can’t wait to meet your baby girl.

Sweet Breakfast
This morning we had an early Valentine’s Day celebration since my girl’s half-sister was staying with us for the weekend. A few little gifts and a whole lotta sugar for breakfast. Hope you all have a sweet Sunday, too.
That last photo of Amelia is so funny. She is high on sugar!

How Does Your Garden Grow
Spring has come early to Florida this year. Our once sad looking orchid tree is now covered in flowers and leaves.
A few weeks ago, my mother asked us if she could plant a garden in our yard, (she lives in a condo), “YES!”, I said. It has been a group effort. The kids help my mom, and get really dirty in the process, and my mister has been watering in the evenings. It is has been...

Preschool Style
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, we love Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Mini line for Target. I’ve bought several pieces, and it’s just the cutest. The shirt Amelia is wearing is from that line, and she loves the mermaids on it. Amelia’s jeans are from Old Navy, and she is barefoot, because we took the photos after school today. First thing we do...

Modern Mommy is Getting a Facelift
So, I know it’s been quiet in my corner of the internet, but I’ve been busy getting to know my new MacBook Pro & Canon Rebel camera. These are two purchases I’ve been wanting to make for a while, but with our wedding last year, and my previous maternity leaves, it just wasn’t in the cards. It is so nice to be wireless now, and I can say that I am currently blogging in...
