Exactly one year ago, the husband and I were in Paris. You can read about our trip here and here. 

I remember strolling the streets and eating French macaroons almost everyday, sipping on espresso and pain au chocolate at Eric Kayser bakery planning the day ahead of us, and having three hour lunches at the neighborhood brasserie after shopping at Merci and Colette. It was such an amazing time and a trip that I will never forget. 

These adorable drawings by Caroline Wang, owner of Etsy shop Coco Draws, are the perfect reminder of why I love Paris so much. These would be great on a gallery wall or in a powder room!

This sweet baby that is rapidly growing in me officially has a name!

 It's a double name, so don't go lazy on me and just call her Tilley, it's the whole thing, Tilley Gray. Tilley is my maiden name and Gray is part of the husband's first name. We kept going round and round with first names and then one day, right before we found out the baby was a girl, Grayson came home and said that he loved my maiden name and thought that would be perfect if we had a little girl.

You see, one of my best friend's in college was also a Lindsey, so we were both called by our last names. I was known as Tilley to a lot of my girlfriends in college and it just stuck until I graduated. At the time that I met Grayson, that's what all my girlfriends called me, and he thought it was really endearing. I was dead set on this little baby's middle name being Gray, so Tilley Gray it is!

The name bunting was made by one of my new favorite Etsy shops and she coordinated the fabric on the name bunting to the fabric that we are using for the drapes and bumper. It came in the mail last week, and I couldn't be more thrilled!
