enjoy the journey
Every year, my love and I make a little date out of adventuring to the pumpkin patch. If I could visit all the pumpkin patches, I would be one happy girl! It's one of my very favorite traditions.
This year's date is one I will always treasure.
We had lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant and played in the autumn sunshine and talked about how our lives will change so much in 6 short months.
We talked of hopes and dreams for our growing family and about how we would try to savor these last months of quiet;).
It's so easy to rush (in your mind) to 'the next big thing' (aka meeting our child!), and we are determined to enjoy this journey and this current season of life.

season of change + a little baby bump!
My dear friends, oh how I've missed you!
These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of change and I'm so thrilled to share with you that we finally (finally!) have moved into our very own home. It's nestled in the forest, on the lake, just a few short miles from the ocean. We're still hanging art and twinkle lights and finding homes for belongings that have been packed away for the past four months, but we are living and loving here and I can tell we've found a magical spot.
If you look closely you can see our house peeking through the trees!
Our front door is now turquoise (of course!) and surrounded by pumpkins...an updated photo soon! We have big plans for the exterior of this baby one day...I've been sketching and dreaming and color scheming like crazy. It's so fun to dream.
The upstairs room you can see here is slowly becoming my art studio. It's the biggest, most light-filled space I've ever had, and I am so excited to start creating again soon.
But even more exciting than the house...
Friends, we are witnessing a miracle.
Karl and I will be welcoming a new little person into the world this May!
I'm almost 12 weeks pregnant and so full of love and joy.
Here's our little pumpkin! This was taken at just over 9 weeks. I can't wait to see how much bigger she's gotten since then. (I have a feeling she's a girl!)
Wishing you a day full of peace + love + inspiration.
