Mad about these creations by French illustrator Sabrina Arnault. Based in Montreal, the artist's work is delightfully simple and elegant but wonderfully playful at the same time.

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.

I first spotted these images on the blog miss moss. Check out her original post on Ms. Arnault here.

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?

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 here). They are soft, fun and put me in a good mood every morning when I wake up in them.
