Moo Park
Spring to the girls means "Moo Park" (their favorite park just minutes from school) has thawed out. Sidenote: BP was so not cooperating for the camera.
Summer Favorites...
Floppy sun hat from Alloy to shield the face from harmful rays. At $19 so much cheaper than Botox.
Dickinson's Witch Hazel Facial Wipes. Nothing works better for my face when it gets hot and humid. I will be ordering a few boxes of these very soon! 
Gold knot sandals from Alloy
Skinny Girl Margarita available at your local liquor store (if they can keep it on the shelves) Perfect for a Summer night and only 100 calories.
Victoria Secret PINK racerback bra. The MOST comfortable bra a girl could own. I know I just lost all 2 of my male readers. Sorry. It is so blogworthy though!
Hunter boots for all the rain we have been having...yuck! But these would definitely make it better.
GAP Boyfriend Cut-off Shorts. You want a real good moment? Head to your local GAP and try on a pair of these ASAP. I promise you will need one or two sizes smaller than you normally would wear. I had to leave the dressing room twice for a smaller size. They look great with nude wedges as in the pic above.

Any Summer favorites you would like to share?

Bunkbeds
The girls are getting a big brother for the Summer and are thrilled about it!
To make room for their cousin Nicholas...aka Big Brother, BP and BB are sharing a room. They thought it was a grand idea and the bunkbeds sealed the deal. Their first night sleeping in them they were giddy with excitement, and I loved hearing their little whispers when they should have been sleeping.
Trying to decide what color to paint the bunkbeds and I keep thinking how I read the best place to get unfinished furniture painted is an autobody shop...hmmm :)

Trouble
These two together are TROUBLE. They team up and watch out. They can make each other hysterical in seconds. I can only imagine what they will be like as teeange accomplices.
Sentimental Dress Curtain
I have been cleaning, donating, and parting with many of the girls' baby items lately. Some are easier to say good-bye to than others. If all three girls wore something it is really hard for me to part with it. With that being said...here is a curtain in our powder room that used to be a sundress that all three girls wore. The colors were just right for the room and it was so easy to turn into a simple little curtain. Just a little sewing and voila! It probably only took me 20 mins and I have a constant reminder of BP, BB, and CC wearing this sundress as babies. Chubby little legs and all!
Catching Up...
We snuck into the city last week for a little "cultural enrichment". Here are some pitures from a playground in Central Park and dinner at Seraphina. We scored a great table by chance, where the girls loved the view, the action, and the "color wherever you want" table covering.

Wednesday White Kitchen
Another favorite white kitchen. Once again open shelving, big old island, cool pendant lighting, and filled with natural light. Could definitely see a kitchen like this in that 2 bedroom cottage I dream of building someday.
Pictures from Simply Seleta (a favorite blog)

Wednesday White Kitchen
I think these images are from an old Coutry Living issue??? This is another one of my favorites...has been for years.
Sneak Peek: Living Room Re-do
Pillows above from CB2 (Crate and Barrel's little and more modern sister). They were in the CL living room and I realized I had a gift card from my bridal shower 6 years ago, which I used to purchase them. When the pillows arrived yesterday I immediately loved them. They are the Cargo stripe pillow and are made of a really cool linen / burlap material, but are soft and down filled. Amazing how just pillows can totally change a room. I firmly believe in making the bigger purchases of a room (ie couch) in a neutral color and then just changing the pillows from time to time or season to season. You can get totally different looks with just changing pillows.
And below are the other textiles I plan to work into the room. More to come...
BIKES
We took the girls a couple weeks ago to be measured for their first real bikes. The man measured them, directed them to the right size bikes, and then told them to pick one out. BP chose the Giant "Puddin" in pink with cute little flower basket and BB chose the Specialized "Hot Rocket" in purple. Daddy picked them up while we were at the beach and brought them down for the girls. BB kept telling everyone (strangers and all) that her Daddy was bringing her new bike when he came. They were pretty psyched about it. And they do love them! BP rides hers like a little lady and BB rides hers like a rocket :)
I have to give a nod to Joe's Fix-it in Goshen NY. They have it all from $10,000 road bikes to used bikes and great service too.

Egg Hunt
Egg Hunt Notes: Yes, it was warm enough for BB to wear a bathing suit Easter morning for the egg hunt! We had beautiful weather for our week in Cape May. We were very lucky.
The last picture is Baby C trying a jelly bean. She caught on very quickly to the treats inside the eggs.
Wednesday White Living Room
This living room from May's Country Living room left me speechless. It says aah to me...come sit and read...it just said peace to me. Peace is something we could use a little more of in our chaotic life and house. So I am using it as my design inspiration for our living room which I have been slowly working on. I will show pictures as the pieces come together.
