I don't say this often, but I am soooo sad this week is over. We had the best time as a family, eating so many meals together, exploring outside together, and even taking a family nap! Roswelle was such a happy baby this week and I'm sure it has everything to do with us all being together.
I'm leaving Paul and Roswelle today for a girl's weekend in Newport, RI. While it is always tough for me to leave (and I usually get super cranky right before it's time to go), I know as soon as get on the ferry by myself, my shoulders will relax and I will be thankful for the space.
Sorry for the unoriginal pictures this week, vacation-mode has made it a struggle to get this favorite Friday post together!

Some of my favorite movies have nothing to do with the storyline or the characters, but everything to do with the set. I love to study the style, the prop placement, and try to understand what makes the setting appealing to me as a consumer. This is precisely why I'm so excited about the new Nancy Meyers movie the Intern. The plot line and actors are super predictable, but I can not wait to study the background. Traditional Home wrote a piece on the movie, focusing on the beautiful set designs, including the amazing kitchen pictured above. Erin Gates also wrote a great post on Nancy Meyer's set decoration on her blog Elements of Style this week.

I'm kinda late in the game, but I'm jumping on the spiralizer band-wagon. Zucchini and Squash pasta is all the rage and tastes amazing. You can also make onion rings if that's your thing :) I miss pasta in my life and I'm excited to give this a shot, and eventually share recipes with y'all! Pictured is the version Williams Sonoma sells, but there are many credible and cheaper options on Amazon - just read the reviews!

Roswelle Gray is 17 months old today!! I took this picture this morning while she had her morning banana. I'll write a bigger post on her life next month, but she is so happy and fun at this age! She has experienced a few moments of intense anger but they are short, and they have yet to takeover her control-board (reference to the brilliant move Inside Out). I'm so thankful I get to experience life with her and I thank God every night for sending her to me :) p.s we love Hanna Andersson PJs!

My phone died this week - like kaput - like will never turn on again (dang fresh water pond). The first few hours of accepting that I will not have a phone until next week were slightly anxiety ridden but then I gained some perspective and I'm starting to enjoy being phone free. I plan to actually read a good chunk of my book on the ferry ride back to Boston, and even get out pen and paper for a good blogpost brainstorming session. So I apologize in advance for not liking your Instagram photo or replying to a text!
