    >Beautiful pictures… my little joys were my 12 week old's smiles, my toddler saying "Hold you, momma?" and a coffee visit from a new friend! :)

    >Raechel,

    Is that crocheted bunny from an Old Navy baby t-shirt, by any chance?? If so, my Owen (a few months older than Oliver), also wore this adorable shirt as a baby!!!! It was one of my absolute favorites.

    >Genevieve,
    You're exactly right! I bought it when I was pregnant with him and when he outgrew it is was too stained to keep. I couldn't bear to throw away the bunny so I ripped through the stitches and he's hanging around to be called from the bench sometime in the future. Good eye!!

    >Dear Raechel – I am curious about your filing method? Do you place all your files from 2010 in one file folder versus keeping individual files by category?

    I love your blog, decorating style and the bits you share about your lovely children, btw :)

    >Sara,
    It might be tough to see in the photo, but I have probably 20 folders rubberbanded together there – each an individual file (gas, electric, mortgage, etc.)

    I just like to keep only the current year in my filing drawer because it's little, so I just neatly tuck away the year before in storage, still separated by type.

    Does that make sense?

    >Oh I see! Yes, that does make sense now. I'm re-evaluating my pretty dysfunctional filing system and am so open for new ideas. I would love to see you touch on organizing/home management tips on your blog as I admire what appears to be your minimalist (yet totally charming) style.

    Thanks for taking time to reply!

    >Love this post and especially the sweet pictures of Hazel with her new hair growth. I had been thinking about this the other day as I was getting dinner ready using our newish red cutting board and was going to do a post on it (and another handy kitchen gadget). But you post inspired me to think more broadly. :)
