Link Lovin'

Happy Friday folks!  It's been quite a week-whew!  Maverick caught a cold (or a cold caught him?), his first time being sick.  It was just a little cold and he handled it rather well and was in pretty good spirits.  He did take extra long naps, which helped.  But he raged like no other when I had to Frida Hose his nose!  I felt awful putting him through it, but kept reminding myself that it would make him feel so much better.  Getting through a sickness with a baby is a huge milestone in my book-and, we made it! Now, on to all the pretty stuff that kept me smiling this week.

➽Found this great mama's website, which is all about her montessori style of parenting & teaching.  It's so inspiring and I feel such a strong desire to implement some of this style with Mav, especially since he is so strong willed and curious.
➽I so want to try this Neon Dot tote DIY!  It came out so cute and looks easy enough for a non-craftter like myself (I truly wish I was gifted when it comes to DIY's, but I must admit defeat & admire the pros).
➽The lady behind the Avant Blargh blog blows my mind with her tomboy inspired outfits!  This girls style is out of control crazy cool!
➽Related to this post on thrifting and when enough is enough!  I am a huge thrifter, but sometimes I tend to buy things just because I can't say no to an amazing deal...but, that leads to hoarder status & I have felt a major urge to edit my life lately.  Starting to believe that less really is more-except of course when it comes to layering, accessories and ice cream! Ha!
➽Have been enjoying these lovely blogs lately: Deer Circus, Sea Field and Tribe and Wolf and Wood
➽And this video made my week!  It is so magical and makes me want to take a trip to visit New Orleans again, this time with Toby who has never been...ahh, such a romantic, soulful city!

...and here are a few favs from my pinterest this week!

Oh, and I did a little blog make over!  I tend to rearrange, redecorate, purge things, move furniture and eat a lot of cookies when I am stressed out...so, I did some redecorating on the blog while I ate cookies. What do you think?  Don't forget to follow along with me on Twitter and Tumblr (the links are above in those neatly arranged tabs-yay!)
