LOVING {TWO THINGS}

BABY MAMA

2012-02-08T14:41:00.000-08:00

Recently I've become totally in lust with "mama's with their babies" photos < See :) The pure and simplistic beauty and love a mother has for her child is something that, as a woman, I can relate to in a way that makes my soul smile without having children of my own. These images make me so excited for the future of becoming a mother myself. Beautiful!

GEOMETRIC LOVE

2012-02-07T14:08:00.000-08:00

Just the other day, I posted an image that i'm totally obsessed with that looks very similar to these amazing ZNAK mosaic wall decals spotted via Design Sponge. You can arrange them into many different designs all evenly spaced! So flipping awesome. I'm already scheming for where we can put these in our house!

OVER THE WEEKEND

2012-02-05T20:30:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone had a fun and good weekend! We sure did- Dog park, long walks, game night with friends, church, coffee and smoothie making. We passed on watching football Sunday evening and instead cozied in with snacks and a movie- it was just perfect for us.

PS. If you live in Cincinnati and are looking for a new dog park- fido field is downtown {on eggleston} right by sawyer point- super easy access from Mt. Adams, OTR, Prospect Hill and Walnut Hills. We go all the time and are usually the only ones there. Clyde could use some pals!

TOTALLY OBSESSED

2012-02-04T08:00:00.000-08:00

Drooling over these prints and patterns. Navajo, nature, geometric inspired patterns currently make my heart flutter.

SMOOTHIE KICK

2012-02-03T14:09:00.000-08:00

I have been on the BIGGEST smoothie kick lately and am dying to start making them daily in the mornings. I feel so good starting my day with a mega load of fruits, veggies and vitamins. My favorite ingredients are pretty standard- orange, banana, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, mango but i'd love to try some of the more interesting flavors- kale, celery, wheat grass, etc. Do any of you have some great smoothie recipes you could share? YUM!

Happy Friday, friends! Over on Babiekins today, I pulled together some super adorable looks for your little for Valentine's Day! There have been a lot of really great posts over there from a handful of amazing women. Make sure to have a peek! Have a great weekend!

SPRING FEVER

2012-02-01T13:05:00.000-08:00

I'm trying not to let myself be fooled by the mild winter we've been having so far. Today at the shop, I have the door wide open and didn't bother with a jacket this morning, and at school, I've been taking the kids out every chance we get. How are you all enjoying this crazy warm weather? My favorites are walks with Clyde and taking my little students to the playground. I officially have spring fever!

WEEKEND DETAILS

2012-01-30T06:27:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We actually spent Friday night and part of Saturday in Chicago. It was such a quick trip, I didn't snap any photos. Friday night we had dinner at Avec which I've been dying to try for the longest time. It was absolutely delicious and totally amazing. Saturday morning my boss and I checked out some children's clothing lines at Stylemax and after that we were back on the road home. Nick and I were both exhausted from the whirlwind trip so Sunday we lounged and finally were able to get a copy of Kinfolk Magazine!

TWO THINGS

2012-01-29T15:00:00.000-08:00

.....making me very very happy right now: Kinfolk mag and hot tea.

SCOTCH AND SODA

2012-01-26T14:21:00.000-08:00

I've realized that when it comes to little fashion, gender neutral tones and pieces are what draw me in. I 'm not a huge fan of girls in all pink and boys in all blue. Not there is anything wrong with dressing your girls in pink and boys in blue {I'm sure I'll do it from time to time} but there is just something so appealing to me about neutral tones on kids. The Spring 2012 collection from Scotch and Soda is right on. There are both neutral and girl and boy specific pieces which gives everyone something to choose from. LOVE!

PS. Anyone going to be at Stylemax in Chicago this weekend? Making a quick trip in on Saturday to see a few things for the store. So looking forward to a night in Chicago- husband's coming too!

ALWAYS CHANGING

2012-01-25T18:42:00.000-08:00

Here she is...little one love with a face lift. I swear this is it for a long time. Other than the header, the layout is set. I finally gave in and bought a theme I found through The Blog Milk Shop- the ladies over there are seriously amazing. I need some more color in my header but sitting in photoshop for several hours trying to come up with just that- a color scheme I won't get sick of in 2 months- was making my eyes cross! Also, I just love this image from the amazing illustrator Jamie Mills. Now those are some good colors! Back to regular life happenings and cute kiddo things tomorrow!

FEELING INSPIRED

2012-01-24T13:48:00.000-08:00

This past week, after reading so many inspiring Alt design summit blog posts from some of my favorite bloggers, {for those that don't know about Alt summit- it's an annual conference for bloggers- anyone from fashion to design to mama to lifestyle bloggers. I've been dying to go the last couple years. This past one in Salt Lake City JUST ended} it seems that every single person that goes, leaves feeling completely inspired and full of creative ideas. It has been fun to follow people who were there on instagram and read their blogs about talks they've been hearing, dinners and parties they've attended and blog friends they were finally able to meet in person- Ah! I want to be a part of that! I love having this blog as a creative outlet and only hope that it's able to continue to grow. My passion for sharing inspiration and my own thoughts are something I wholeheartedly enjoy. Coming home to this blog each and every day is one of my most favorite things. I don't aspire to be a full time blogger or have expectations of ever reaching that level. I just want this space to grow in a way that feels both fulfilling to me and my readers.

With that said, any blog designers out there who may be interested in working with me? The blogger templates have been good to me, but I'm ready to move on! If interested, email me at lindsay@littleonelove.com

Happy Blogging {and reading}!

Esp NO. 1

2012-01-23T12:05:00.000-08:00

Little girls in blacks, grays and blues are my favorite. Esp No. 1 kills it when it comes to girl fashion that's not "girly." Their colored denim is also out of this world cute too. I totally want all of this in my size. #swoon

WEEKEND DETAILS

1. Saturday morning pancakes

2. a little corner in our kitchen

3. puppy paws

4. mama paws

6. ice rain from the trees

SUNDAY MORNING

2012-01-22T18:11:00.000-08:00

My goal lately has been to see how long I can stay in my pajama's on weekend mornings. This past weekend I succeeded in staying in them both Saturday and Sunday until late afternoon. Waking up early to take the pup out then climbing back into bed is the best weekend treat. We all get up for the day then around 10, make some coffee and piddle around the house. We took a long walk through the mist and fog and really enjoyed a weekend of nothing much exciting. We hung out with our favorite little people saturday night and had a family dinner on sunday. I'll chalk this one up as another dang good weekend. Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

In my dreams, I'm here...

2012-01-18T18:54:00.000-08:00

I've been going through this phase lately, thinking about escaping / traveling / feeling free. I have an overwhelming desire to take off with my husband and pup in a VW van with no real destination in mind and see where the journey takes us. To snuggle under the stars and cook modest meals over fire. To spend our days hiking and exploring and thinking of nothing else but each other, and the beauty that surrounds us. To live simply and beautifully nestled somewhere in the forest or mountains for a while and just BE. Doesn't it just sound magical? siiiigh...

YESSSS!

2012-01-18T06:10:00.000-08:00

This makes me smile. Wes Anderson could make a movie about atoms and nuclei and i'd still love it.

THAT ONE TIME, I MODELED FOR A FRIEND...

2012-01-17T14:44:00.000-08:00

The cool thing about having cool friends, is you get to do cool things. So when my friend Lexi asked me to stand in for a posing guide idea she had, I was more than happy. By no means do I think i'm model material, but it's fun every now and again to be in front of a camera. Photogs- Make sure you check out Lexi's posing guide. It's an awesome tool to help you make your clients feel comfortable plus gives you some great pose ideas. Oh, the best part is, Lexi's clients are seniors in highschool. I am 27. Haha!

BATH TIME WITH MY BOY

2012-01-16T16:15:00.000-08:00

Haha! This photo makes me laugh so hard. You'd think he was the saddest pup that ever lived. Over the weekend we took mister Clyde to the dog park per usual and he came home with a belly FULL of mud. He sure did have a good time with some other pup friends rompin' around, gettin' dirty. If you follow me on Instagram, you know how much I love this big ol' doofus. I'm sure all you pet owners can relate- He really is what makes my little family complete. It sounds so silly but when the three of us (yes, Clyde's who i'm referring to) are not all together, it just doesn't feel completely right. Lordy, I'm scared for how I'll be with a non furry child :)
