wow. this has been a rough week. my almost two year old is definitely showing his almost two year old colors. tantrums, screaming and the opinions!! his newest phrase of choice is “don’t like it.” for everything. just when I thought things were getting easier.
thankfully, this little grump let me chase him around with my camera today. so I leave you with not only one photo this week, but a few.
every since my kiddo discovered he could latch on to my pretty dangly earrings, I’ve found myself wearing studs. but my collection needs a jumpstart. I’d happily take one of everything from Jennie Kwon’s collection. then mix and match!
p.s. now I really want a second earring hole.
even though I love cooking recipes out of a cookbook, I’m a big fan of food blogs. while I’ve got my favorites, I’m always on the hunt for new ones. I just stumbled upon the amazingness of Naturally Ella last week and I’m hooked. for dinner this week, I made a slight variation on this black bean skillet, being that I didn’t add the spice until after so that Wolf could enjoy it too. and boy did he ever! that made me a happy mom.
next up: these brown butter pancakes. yum!
I’m kicking off a new series called Shop Stop today on Unruly Things where I’ll feature little peeks into some of my favorite shops. first up is this gorgeous boutique from Charleston, South Carolina – Worthwhile. I first stumbled upon Worthwhile a few years back and fell instantly in love with their beautifully curated collection. it’s one of those places I imagine myself going to and spending hours just browsing {and emptying my wallet, of course!} everything is just perfect from the vintage industrial fixtures to the delicate embroidered clothing to those beautiful glass cloches on the shelves.
if you, like me, aren’t in Charleston, lucky for us Worthwhile has an online shop featuring a selection of women’s clothing and accessories. you can also visit their blog for more info and more pretty pictures to drool over.
visit WORTHWHILE:
black diamonds. arrows. gold. sigh… I love this little ring.
I’m SUCH a fan of these amazing leather bags from Ellen Truijen. being a mother, it’s so important to have a bag with room for everything your kiddo might want or need on the go. I’m never been a fan of the traditional diaper bag and much prefer a back pack or a pretty leather bag with lots of space. my favorite bags from Ellen, aptly named the Mommy Dearest and the Toddler bag, are just so great. you can see more of Ellen’s gorgeous leather bags at Vuela Boutique.
and because I love a good bonus : take 20% OFF at Vuela Boutique with code: BLOOM + free shipping on all orders! leather bags not your thing? check out these unique scarves from Danish textile label Emdal Colorknit. this one is incredible.
I’m thrilled:
with our weather! hello 75.
because that means:
bike rides for days!
backyard picnics.
sleeveless shirts.
I hope you had a wonderful week! I’m off to enjoy the sunshine. xx

today this kid is 23 months old. I can’t believe how close we are to two.
this week I signed him up at a little Waldorf preschool starting in the fall. just two days a week to start. I’m excited and I think he is, too. at least, he cried big tears when we had to leave after our visit.
the amount of emotion I’ve had about him turning two is incredible. I thought one was a big deal… but two? SUCH a big deal. he’s just so grown up! at two, he’s officially not a baby anymore. he’s a big kid. and he does big kid stuff! the other night I may have shed a tear when he looked up at me from his crib and said, “I love you Mama.” I smiled and said, “I love you too, Monkey.”
