weekend brunch

for our weekend brunch we devoured what we call german pancakes. we dusted them with powdered sugar and topped them with fresh red berries, drizzled with “real” maple syrup. if i’m honest, i’m sort of a snob when it comes to maple syrup. i will only eat the “real” good stuff.

instead of i love lucy this week, i finally got camden to watch the sound of music with me. this, oddly enough, has become a goal of mine, starting around when we first got married. until yesterday he had always refused. it had almost become sort of a joke between us, the movie that was always suggested to be watched and always never watched… this weekend he finally gave in.

oh vintage coach, you make me swoon . .

chair

this chair is in a different spot every time i come home. at first it irritated me camden would constantly move it around the house in order to use it for a variety of purposes. now i look forward in seeing where the chair will be next. can’t wait to hear what he was doing with it in the entry.  

i wore this when…

not snow, rain. i can’t remember the last time it was warm enough to rain. yesterday it got up to a scorching fifty degrees. fifty degrees! we couldn’t help but spend the entire morning outside. camden and i got belgian waffles and ate them outside in the sun. we took kramer to the park and let him run around and play. we walked camden to work instead of driving. it was brilliant. -and i wasn’t even mad that the sun wasn’t out at all today, because it was raining, raining! it put us in such a good mood we had a spontaneous date night tonight, dinner and a movie. it was brilliant i tell you, over the moon kind of brilliant.

i wore: sweater, anthropologie // scarf, urban outfitters // shirt, urban outfitters // pants, j.crew // shoes, madewell // purse, vintage coach


p.s. i want to thank all of you who left such helpful and sweet comments on my last post. i’m grateful for you all . xoxo – sara

in just a few months we will be leaving the united states for the very first time (for me anyway) and heading to the british land, england, for a whole fourteen days, two full weeks. seriously, if we get down to it, my “been there – seen that” list isn’t by any means impressive. besides new york (which is currently my very favorite place i’ve visited), i have only been to a few surrounding states, which makes the u.k. that much more exciting (because it could get any more exciting?).

if we really get down to business, and i mean the nitty-gritty, not always having the funds isn’t the only thing holding me back from traveling to faraway places. it’s the flying. yes, the flying. i hate flying! it terrifies me to the depth of my core. i can usually put on a brave face for that two hour flight to california or even the five hour flight to n.y.c. (granted i have to be looking out the window the entire time to make sure we are still in the sky) but being in the air for hours on end, over mountains, plains, and oceans really freaks me out.

a few months back, we went to see the movie flight with a few friends and when the plane started it’s downward crash i literally started having a mini panic attack. besides being morbidly embarrassed (thankfully camden was the only one that knew), it only reiterated to me just how afraid of flying i am.

however england, i think you are worth it. worth it for me to try my brave face again. worth it for me to conquer my fear. or at least try.
