He's (been) here.

Well, we are 4.5 weeks into our precious Owen. We had a wonderful holiday and now things are quieting down at the Archer home. Thanksgiving came and Christmas went. O arrived Wednesday November 23, 2011 at 9:39 am, keeping his mama up all night long for his arrival. He is just precious and we are so in love.

Hours old laying in the bed with mama. More to come, including birth story and updated photos!

Robbed

So People Mag has released their "Sexiest Man Alive" issue. And while B Cooper is easy on the blue eyes, my man got ROBBED. I have only seen photos online, but where is (my) Jon Hamm? I am stunned and extremly disappointed. Mr. Hamm, you will always be number 1 in my heart.

 seriously?

smoldering.

and he obviously likes to have fun.

Lastly, this video should have sealed the deal. But WHATEVER!

Mama Gear

So just another reason to pop this LOAD out (yes, my belly/baby has been referenced as a LOAD) --- We are getting our very own H&M store people! The ginormous metropolis that is "The DASH". Us, getting a fancy 2 story H&M.  Should be interesting....  Just checked out the website to see if anything tickles my fancy.... I am such a slouch monster. Give me a cozy sweater and some jeans and I am a happy girl.

Lovely camel cardigan. My winter staple. Easy. Comfy.

 Yes I know, basically the exact same sweater.... but this one has that leather belt detail. See?

Totally different.

Now we are talking. This is work/church/mom appropriate. Just add french twist and pearls.

Done and done.



Grand Opening is Thursday November 17. Go get you some.

The one with the green door...

What are the odds hubs will let me do this over the weekend?

You know, the house with the green door...just seems so fitting and as there is only 9 days until my due date this is just a crucial task to accomplish before baby O comes. right???

Brass

I am really starting to accept the look of brass as an essential.  Maybe it takes me a while to catch on. But I dig it.
