finishing: a Palm Springs recap + travel guide for posting next week. We had such a great trip - big thanks to work meetings for getting me a paid-for plane ticket to California, after which Peter and I could enjoy a little anniversary getaway. Think pool sitting, biking, hiking, and house ogling. The best.

subscribing: to Highlights Puzzle Buzz for Hendrik. The mazes and puzzles are right up his alley, plus everyone likes to get fun mail, right?

wishlisting: all things in blush pink, like this reversible top. And these sneakers. And this clutch. And this letterboard. And these baskets. Really, all the things.

watching: Victoria (season 2) on Masterpiece. So wrapped up in the glamour and drama of it - I'd pick this over season 2 of The Crown!

hearting: this inspiration for a big boy room design (and also the look-for-less links that come with it!). Revamping Hendrik's room a bit and moving him out of the toddler bed is on my 18 in 2018 list, and besides the adorableness of this one, I also love that it has some items similar to ones I already own.


What's going on with you currently? Link up a (related, please!) post below, and visit/comment on some others too - let's share the love... it is February after all!

And then on March 7, Sarah will be co-hosting, and we're both going to be talking about what we're currently planning, seeing, making, pretending, wearing. Hope you'll join us then.

  1. Ahh Palm Springs sounds great right now. (As the cold rain falls.) I have been wanting to check out Victoria! I have it on my list. Maybe I will do that this weekend? Maybe! Highlights is the best all the way around and look how long it has been around! Blush is so popular a client's daughter is using it and navy for her wedding in the late summer. Have a great day!

  2. Season 1 of The Crown was good but I never felt the need to watch season 2. Victoria looks good.

    Thanks for hosting!

  7. Oh how nice for a work trip to turn into a little getaway--especially this time of year! I need to check out that Puzzle Buzz, it sounds right up Jona's alley. He got Highlights High 5 (I think?) as a gift from his grandparents and enjoys that, but a lot of it gets skipped. I want all the blush pink right now too!

  8. Glad you had such a good time on your west coast trip! I am with you on loving all the pink things. A pink bag is on my wishlist for spring. That crossback sweater you posted is darling too. I have been loving that style on other people but not sure I want to take the plunge (ha ha...pardon the pun) because of the bra situation. Although the one you posted looks like you could probably wear a regular bra, which gives it major bonus points!

  23. We just started back on Victoria, too. Hate when there are big pauses between seasons because I forget everything that has happened. But then again, I can forget from one day to the next.
