13 months

He's an actual big kid now! 
13 months old.


He loves to sing and dance. 


This boy gets down (like for real, he bends his knees and sinks his booty...I don't know how he does it. I think he has a lil' Aunt Lauren in him)haha!

New Blog for our Vintage Shop!

We started a new blog for our vintage shop:
Ultra Lounge Antiques


Starting next week we are going to begin posting pictures of items that are going in the shop...january 1st!

Be a deer & follow us!!

My sweet husband!

Kyle has been gone since Sunday.
And I am missing him like crazy right now.
Life just feels off when he's not around.


I miss the sound of First 48 starting.
Looking over at him in his chair picking his nose.
The sound of his snore.
Just seeing his face.
He shaved off his beard before he left, ya know.


Not to mention having another set of hands around this house.
Lucas is sick.
And I've been staying up until one every night crafting.


And...I'm in over my head..
I somewhere decided to make.every.gift. 
(Not for the boys though...they made me promise that I wouldn't make them anything. bummer.)


I was thinking about getting a babysitter,
but not to go out.
To take a bath--ALONE.
Read a book in my bed.
And then take a nap.


Oh and then I wake up to a clean house.


Perfect.

Bid War

I am currently in a bidding war for this: 
(it's my Christmas present)

and it's giving me heartburn and anxiety!

Last minute bidders really chap my hide!

(****post edit: I lost the bid war! Someone bid at the last minute leaving me no time to re-bid. I'm so bummed. This piece of furniture belonged in my house! booo!)

Big News Part 2!

Oh yay! 
Okay, where do I begin? 




For such a long time now I've been hoarding a rather large collection of vintage goods in our tiny house in the hood, and awhile back decided to begin selling them on etsy. Which I love. All 10 sales :)


But although etsy is great, my dream has always been to open a vintage shop of my own. And Kyle too!


Kyle is the yard sale king and he has a great eye for vintage.
He's bought so many great large furniture pieces, record players, TV's. He's definitely hooked.


One night during a sweet pillow talk session between the husband and I, we finally decided that we just need to do it.


So last week we signed our papers for a space at the Redlands Galleria on State St. in Redlands and it opens January 1st!!!


It's going to be filled with beautiful mid-century & mid-century modern pieces a la Mad Men. Set up to look like a really stylish living room.
I can't wait. We are going to do a mock set up soon (when Kyle gets back from Arizona).


Although parting with most of the stuff is going to be so hard.
I just know it. I mean you have to see some of this stuff.
It's beautiful.
Right now we feel like vintage foster parents, hoping our babies are going to go to good homes. 


Now...


We have so much to do and I can't wait to fill you all in on all the details before the big day. 

Big News

I am so excited to share some news with you all!
There are some really great things happening right now and I can't wait to fill you in on all the details. xo

Fat boy

Our fat boy got a Xmas sweater.


I can't help but laugh and smile every time I see him.
He's like a sweet reindeer prancing around my yard. 


He just sees an opportunity for everyone to come scratch his belly!
