As a real, live adult (with a son due in a matter of days!?), I've been worried about knowing how to do, well, <i>stuff</i>.</div>

As a soon-to-be parent, I want to be able to share sage life advice on everything from how address an envelope to how not to interrupt people in conversation. Perhaps that's why I've been enjoying sites like <a href="http://rulesformyunbornson.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">1,001 Rules for Unborn Son</a> and <a href="http://adviceformyboys.com/post/79296893050/sam-whom-i-met-in-his-pizza-restaurant-two-boots" target="_blank">Advice for Boys</a> (check out my handsome husband featured here). Can we just say THANK YOU to the internet for existing?</div>

It is in this sentiment that I stumbled across the most handy cheat sheet for setting a table on Pinterest. Pulled originally from the blog Waiting on Martha, these handy (and pretty!) pics are sure to make dinner prep for a casual family meal or a fancy dinner party a breeze.</div>

Let's just say it will be several more weeks before I feel "swimsuit ready" this season. To quote everyone's favorite preggo, Juno, I'm currently feeling like "a planet."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Still, the weather is gorgeous and it is Memorial Day weekend so why not take a peek at some gorgeous swimwear?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
NYC based designer <a href="http://www.marahoffman.com/" target="_blank">Mara Hoffman</a> is known for her bright, bold prints. This season, she's done a swimsuit collaboration with <a href="https://www.madewell.com/search/searchNavigation.jsp?bmForm=search_topnav&bmFormID=koyQanN%2F146298bbb2c&bmUID=koyQanO&bmIsForm=true&bmPrevTemplate=%2Fsearch%2FsearchNavigation.jsp&bmText=searchTerm&searchTerm=mara+hoffman&bmImage=findIt.x&bmImage=findIt.y&bmImage=findIt&findIt.x=0&findIt.y=0&bmHidden=PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441768044&bmHidden=FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302025434" target="_blank">Madewell</a> that has my tongue wagging. If these don't make you want to book a beach vacation yesterday, perhaps you are just more of a mountain/hiking kind of person?</div>

So proud to see my pal L's awesome design blog <a href="http://regardingdesign.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">re: design</a> banging out some awesome new content! Isn't it lovely?<br />
<br />
I've bragged about L's major talents here before. She's even the design mind behind this very site's stylish look if you didn't already know...<br />
<br />
This week she upped the ante and shared her swoon worthy design SHOP! That's right, you can get your very own t-shirts, tote bags and more featuring her rad designs. Check it out <a href="http://society6.com/LauraRoode" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

One of the most perplexing sections of our little cottage is the back room. It's part mudroom, part laundry area, part reading nook...it's got a lot of names...and a ton of potential! One thing S and I agree on is that we could totally use this space in a better way. We could also totally use a home office. Decision? Made (Amy Poehler voice).</div>

After living in a cramped one bedroom apartment in NYC for years, we are pretty proud of our ability to make the most of a small space. With that in mind, here are a few of the prettiest little office nooks I've come across on Pinterest. Filing these away for inspiration!<br />

Mad about these creations by French illustrator <a href="http://sabrinaarnault.com/" target="_blank">Sabrina Arnault</a>. Based in Montreal, the artist's work is delightfully simple and elegant but wonderfully playful at the same time.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite things about working in children's books had to be the importance of artwork in books for younger readers. Even though I was on the editorial side of things, participating in the selection of the images used to tell a story was delightful...coming across images like Arnault's sends my imagination running wild with fun book ideas.<br />
<br />
I first spotted these images on the blog miss moss. Check out her original post on Ms. Arnault <a href="http://www.missmoss.co.za/2014/03/19/sabrina-arnault/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

As a child, my Nana would ONLY let me watch PBS. This meant I spent a ton of time with Mister Rogers while my parents were at work. He was my absolute favorite.<br />
<br />
When I heard of his passing in 2003, I was, like I'm sure a ton of kids from my generation were, really, really sad.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago the sweet doc "Mister Rogers and Me" caught my eye on PBS and it was wonderfully refreshing to learn more about the man behind the show. Fred was an unbelievably swell guy in real life as well. He spent his summers with family in a Nantucket cottage called "The Crooked House." He was also a vegetarian because he didn't want to "eat anything that had a mother."<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Happy Birthday, Mister Rogers. Nostalgic moment complete.<br />

The Head and the Heart's most recent album <i>Let's Be Still</i> has been on repeat for me since the weekend.<br />
<br />
While I really loved their 2011 self titled album, <i>Let's Be Still</i> feels a bit more dramatic. The whole album pairs perfectly with those sunny<i> almost </i>warm afternoons we've been sporadically graced with over the past few weeks.<br />
<br />
"Summertime," "Let's Be Still" and "Another Story" are my current faves. Happy listening, friends.<br />

Sleep has become more important than ever before. Being pregnant has made me ready for a nap pretty much all day, everyday. Combined with a long, gray February and jam packed schedules, S and I have been taking our sleep quarters very seriously. After all, it won't be long before our little one is keeping us up all hours, right?</div>

One of our favorite new bedroom additions are the gorgeous black and white sheets above. Gifted to us by my thoughtful mother, they came from West Elm (purchase link <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/176461/?catalogId=42&sku=176461&bnrid=3918508&cm_ven=Google_PLA&cm_cat=Bedding&cm_pla=Sheet_Sets&cm_ite=West_Elm_Organic_Harmony_Sheet_Set%2C_Full%2C_Stone_White/Deep_Sea_-_Blue&srccode=cii_17588969&cpncode=34-145437738-2" target="_blank">here</a>).

It's a yucky wintry week all over the country it seems. Let's take a break and enjoy a good laugh with Jerry and Tina shall we?<br />
<br />
Last week's episode of Seinfeld's web series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" featured a rad, red 1967 Volvo. The guest? Tina Fey. They got coffee. They had Cronuts. They said funny things! Not a bad way to spend an afternoon!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Click <a href="http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/tina-fey-feces-are-my-purview" target="_blank">here</a> to watch the whole episode. My favorite bit? The conversation about a shared love of eating and "food treats." Am I the only one that identifies with Jerry's take? "It's like mini vacations in your day, right?"<br />

A few months ago, my sis-in-law invited me to join a book club. Despite working in book publishing for 7 years (omg, that seems scary long), I'd become a less than joyous personal reader. I spent my days working with authors, writing back cover copy, working on marketing strategies... I began reading only the books we were publishing and fell into the terrible rut of rarely reading for myself.<br />
<br />
As an English major and a lover of creative writing, I missed it. Still, the madness of living in NYC followed by the move, the restaurant and other distractions, provided plenty of excuses to rush on to the next overscheduled moment.<br />
<br />
During the past few months, I force myself to read at least a book a month. And guess what? I'm reading even more than that. On the agenda this month?<br />

It's a wonderfully refreshing change to set aside time just for myself. Being pregnant has forced me to slow down a ton. At first, this thought terrified me. Now, I realize it's taught me one of life's great lessons.<br />
<br />
Taking time to spend moments in pursuit of those interests that make you yourself is always time well spent. It's not indulgent, but necessary to keeping in touch with what makes you tick.<br />

Between the new house and the pregnancy, I've been non-stop nesting. When my energy level doesn't let me "keep on going," I give in to my current obsession: Pinterest. Virtual nesting is my my newest jam.</div>

While pinning away last week, I came across <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/a-healthy-new-years-resolution-how-flowers-help-with-health-happiness-the-gardenist-198835" target="_blank">this article</a> from Apartment Therapy. It speaks not only to the emotional upside of keeping fresh flowers in the home, but also to the health benefits.<br />

According to the article, researchers found that hospital patients who stayed in rooms with fresh plants and flowers had lower blood pressure, felt less anxious and less tired. The article also points out that flowers in the workspace increase efficiency. Very interesting indeed...</div>

Mix flowers with fruit. Use unconventional holders such as small bottles, mason jars, even pitchers. Experiment with smaller bundles at different heights. Get crazy!<br />

I certainly plan to embrace this delightful excuse to brighten up my space.</div>

It's a new year! Don't you just love the feeling of a fresh start?<br />
<br />
Since my birthday also falls in January, this time of year always seems like the ideal moment to set some new goals and add new dreams to the wish list.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before diving into what lies ahead, I wanted to take a moment to talk about what this last year has been.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As those of you who have been reading the ol' blog for several years probably noticed, my frequency of posting decreased a ton in 2013. The posts that did make it up included very few personal details or commentary.<br />
<br />
After taking some time to reflect, I realized that has a lot to do with the fact that the chaos of our lives recently left us with very little time to reflect on <i>anything</i> in <i>any</i> capacity. It was really taking its toll.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before we say good-bye to last year, I wanted to share a few important milestones from the most bonkers year of our lives. Read on for a brief (or not so brief...) 2013 recap if you fancy hearing more...<br />

As I've hinted over the past months, S and I moved from NYC in 2012 to bring Two Boots Pizza to Nashville.<br />
<br />
I can't say that we had ANY idea what we were getting into when we made the move, but I'm over-the-moon excited to share that Two Boots Nashville has been officially serving tasty pizza to Music City since July 2013!<br />

I've never been more proud of my husband who left his job at Columbia to pursue a lifelong dream of working for himself. It hasn't always been easy or pretty, but I'm happy to say that he has become quite the dashing pizza man.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">This experience has taught us more about our marriage and ourselves than we ever expected. We are insanely grateful for each other, our supportive families, loving friends and the amazing warm welcome Nashville has given us. </span></div>

<b>A New House</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We love our neighborhood here in Nashville. We made up our minds about Germantown long before we made the journey South. After renting in the neighborhood for less than a year, the most charming little Victorian house went on the market a few blocks previous address.<br />
<br />
After years of dreaming of buying (but not being able to thanks to insane NYC costs!), we took yet another plunge and bought our first home. We made an offer the same day which was lucky because apparently seven other people did as well!<br />
<br />
Here's a shot of the casa during a recent snow. Isn't she a beaut?<br />

We are mad about the tall ceilings, abundant fireplaces, hardwood floors and the other charming details that come with an old home (it was built in 1910).<br />

Germantown is already great (beautiful houses, amazing restaurants, interesting neighbors, pretty views of the Nashville skyline), but the hood has been on fire as of late.<br />
<br />
Tons of residential spaces are being renovated or built new. A baseball stadium is slated to go in across the street beside the capitol and a new beer garden is set to debut only two blocks from our house! We are loving being part of a neighborhood where we plan to really plant our roots.<br />

Can we jut say "<i>brrr</i>?"<br />
<br />
I'm suffering from a bit of weather whiplash here in Nashville. We had an appropriately chilly Thanksgiving, followed by a burst of springtime weather that led into...freezing rain, freezing temps and a whole week's worth of gray skies. Blech.<br />
<br />
I'm escaping my weather woes by researching a spring getaway for me and the Mr. It's been a whammy of a year and a few days on a beach sound so very necessary. Sure a trip to an island sounds great, but what about Miami? It's close, cheap and Miami has the <a href="http://www.raleighhotel.com/" target="_blank">Raleigh Hotel</a>.<br />
<br />
Can you say magical?<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Bobs are apparently the jam these days, but I've been growing my hair long for the past few months for one main reason. This girl loves a good ponytail.</span><br />
<a href="http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/03/29-of-the-best-ponytails-in-history.html?mid=oj13" target="_blank"></a><br />
Pinterest is filled with beautiful, grown-up versions of the hairstyle that really work for me this time of year. As we know, washing our hair everyday is no longer the goal. Especially in the colder months, the less washing and drying we do to our mane, the healthier (read: less dry and brittle!) our hair will be.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are a few gorgeous, messy ponies that work well for medium to long hair. Bonus? They look better a little tousled. So, get out that can of dry shampoo and your hair ties. It's time to whip that hair back and forth...or just pull it back, really.</div>

I'm fascinated by this state-by-state guide of the most popular names for U.S. girls over the past 60 years. Isn't it intriguing?<br />

Apparently, Sophia was crazy pop in 2012. Who knew?<br />

Perhaps it's my overwhelming need to nest lately or a weekend spent in a cabin in the Mississippi countryside, but I'm finding really drawn to rustic wood details for the home.<br />
<br />
Our Victorian cottage here in Nashville is hardly "rustic," but I love the cozy feeling that these rough around the edges details can inspire.<br />
<br />
Here are a few favorite inspiration pics from Pinterest (beginning with that gorgeous, statement-making headboard above)...<br />
