blue + grey + nautical boy nursery

Alicia took some beautiful photos of Rowen's nursery during the newborn photo shoot, so I thought it would be a great time to share! All pictures courtesy of Alicia Danae Thomas Photography 

{family time with 2 under 2}

I was planning to spend a couple of days with Lindsey and Kamry before crew change - just to hang out and catch up, and paint the living room while I was there. I was happy that Kayla and Rowen wanted to come too this time!! We went over on the evening boat on Monday and they spent the first night and went back home the next day. We had the best, best time, just talking and hanging out, playing with the kids play, eating a yummy dinner {Mississippi Roast} that Lindsey had prepared for us! Kamry actually paid attention to Rowen this time and even gave him kisses! Rowen seemed right at home, and slept good in Kamry's crib!

2 under 2 is no joke! :O)

"got my SPARKLE from my Nana"....

[how cute is this shirt her Gammy found for her!]

I love it!!! :O)

Keeping an eye on her little cousin!

I'm usually the early riser so I spent the morning with Rowen!!

Mornings with my grandkids have been one of my favorite things!!

It was so nice getting to spend time with both daughter in laws at the same time! That is very rare, but hoping Kayla and Rowen will join me on my little visits more often (and hoping Lindsey and Kamry will visit us too!) They left around noon to catch the boat home, and as soon as Kamry went down for her nap I started painting the living room. Lindsey is doing a little room makeover, and the paint color is a great place to start! Most of the rooms were a dark tan when they moved in, and little by little they are lightening up the color scheme with shades of grey...this time with Grayish by Sherwin Williams.

After nap time, somebody wanted to help!!

Lindsey ordered pizza for dinner and her Mom came over to keep Kamry busy while we got more painting done. I got up early and finished all but a little section that Lindsey completed that evening. It was crew change day and Peter got there in time to spend a few hours with Kamry too!
She is the sweetest thing and loves having people around! She makes her Nana feel sooooo loved!!! I love my little visits there, I always have the best time and Lindsey always makes us feel so welcome! This visit was extra special since I got to spend time with both grandkids and DILs at the same time! <3 <3 <3

So THANKFUL for little visits.....and family time!

Stitch Fix #12 - November 2017

Stitch Fix #12 - November 2017

After struggling to keep up with my Stitch Fix shipments this summer, keeping them a couple of weeks without trying the stuff on or not getting it back in the mail in a timely fashion, I decided to switch to every other month, just because the months seemed to run together. For November, I got some really nice items and actually had a hard time sending some of it back!! I had Kristina again this month, and she did a great job picking out some cute FALL pieces!

[1] Look by M Clover Square Scarf - $38

This scarf was pretty but HUGE, definitely too bulky and hot for this 50 something gal! :O)

[RETURN]

[2]Just Black Rogers Distressed Boyfriend Jean - $88

I really liked these--always love how SF jeans fit, but I just recently bought a pair, so these were a [RETURN]. 

[3] Napean Sea Rd Kindall Split Neck Top - $64

I really liked this buffalo plaid/plaid shirt!! I almost kept, but felt like I could find something similar at a better price. [RETURN]

[4] Vince Camuto TWO Abree Utility Style Blouse - $88 

(later, at check out found out this was a misprint on my invoice - $74)

At first look at this top I was like ehhh....but after trying it on I fell in love with this basic white shirt!

It was wayyyy overpriced though, even with the price mistake on my invoice. [RETURN]

[5] Teeberry & Weave Sali Waterfall Duster - $78

Ok...this item is perfection....color, weight, style, I just LOVE it!!!! 

Will be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner with jeans and boots! [KEEP]

$78.00 

- $20.00 (stylist fee)

Thoughts: Kristina, my stylist really gets my style--not too old not too young. I really loved this month's box, but only kept one item (which was pretty much my goal with this whole SF subscription thing anyway). I am not keeping anything I don't absolutely love and know I'll wear, and I don't intend to pay too much for an item. I am still loving Stitch Fix and I still recommend trying SF.

I can't wait for my next box to arrive in the NEW YEAR!! :O)
