Back to Work

Here is a song from PAPA that I'm liking to get us through this Wednesday. It's appropriately called "Put Me To Work" since this is my second week back on the job. Being back at the office has been an adjustment these past couple of weeks. I'm definitely enjoying being back in a routine and getting to wear nice clothes that don't smell like baby spit up four days a week! I also appreciate my time with Myles more now that we aren't together all the time, it's nice to get home at the end of the day and see that big smile. It's been so wonderful to have my mom and mother-in-law watching Myles for these first few weeks back, definitely has made the transition go more smoothly.

Unfortunately, Mylo has gone from sleeping 8-12 hours uninterrupted to waking up every three hours. I'm not entirely sure if this is to do with a growth spurt or what. I've read that when the mom goes back to work some babies start waking up more in the night to spend more time with her. We'll see if this keeps up or we can get back to the good ole' days! It also only took me a week and a half to forget to put the milk I pumped at work into the fridge when I got home...boooo. I woke up this morning and had to dump four bottles and pull some from the freezer. Lesson learned, must be more vigilant! ;)

Lockets

I love the idea of a locket as part of a bride's jewelry. It's the perfect way to include the memory of loved ones or honor the long marriages in your families. The locket in this photo holds the bride and groom's parent's wedding photos. 

Also, the great thing with a locket, you don't necessarily have to wear it around your neck. It can easily be tied with a ribbon around your bouquet, be sewn into a hanky or secretly sown somewhere into your dress. 

Here are some lovely lockets I've found on Etsy...

This one fits four photos

This one has opals

This one is from the 1880s

This one could be your something blue

Or...
These could be a great gift for your bridesmaids!

Audrey Hepburn

You may have noticed, Teresa and I both have a thing for Audrey, she's popped up in vintage photos on our Friday roundups and been mentioned in other posts. 

One of the very first posts I wrote for the blog was about Audrey's Two for the Road, one of my all time favorite movies. You haven't seen it? Go watch it!

Not only is Audrey Hepburn one of my favorite actresses, she's greatly influenced my style and someone I greatly respect for her humanitarian work as a Goodwill Embassador for UNICEF.

Amazing Mascara: Trish McEvoy

My sister recently turned me on to this AMAZING "lash curling" mascara from Trish McEvoy. I am a huge fan of tubing mascaras because they come off so easily and don't leave residue all over my face. I've tried several brands that I've liked but this one absolutely takes the cake. My eyelashes look awesome, it's water resistant and does not flake off onto my face, and, best of all, when I splash warm water on my face at the end of the day it comes off in huge chunks in just a few seconds. I should actually make a little video it's so interesting to me the way that it comes off. Annnnyway, if you like tubing mascara this is a must try.

Monday Motivation

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE all of the people I'm living with on a tour bus, but when you suddenly have to work to be alone, you begin to appreciate it even more. Have a great week!

Friday Roundup

Feliz Dia de los Muertos! I've got the day off in Michigan, then a show on Saturday and we're on to Chicago where I'll be looking for some deep dish pizza! My day off plans aren't very eventful, I'll be searching for a laundromat and maybe a local yoga studio or perhaps just hole up in my hotel room and work on wedding albums. Wherever you are, I hope you have a relaxing weekend! 

Beautiful Dia de los Muertos inspired design

I love anything that is called "whimsical" this is definitely whimsical art...

Tim Burton as a kid

New music to put you in the mood for fall.

Great candle

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls 

THIS is exciting news for frequent flyers and makes me feel a lot less guilty for the times I forgot to turn my phone all the way off on planes! Oops.

My current favorite clothing item, and yes, it is very similar to my favorite thing to wear from 1998.
