Last spring, Frances started attending a new school, <a href="http://www.keystonemontessorischool.org/" target="_blank">Keystone Montessori</a>. Right away we felt a strong sense of community with the teachers and other families there.</div>

This past Friday, several of the Keystone families went on an outing to pick blueberries at <a href="http://www.visitsalisburync.com/things-to-do/agri-culinary/?id=298">Campbell Blueberry Farm</a>. There were hundreds of bushes full of organic, ready to be picked blueberries.</div>

Our next stop was <a href="http://www.dannicholas.net/">Dan Nicholas Park</a> in Salisbury. After living in Charlotte for eight years, I couldn’t believe I had never even heard of this place before! To call it a “park” is somewhat misleading. There were train rides, a petting zoo, spray grounds, gem mines, and the list goes on!</div>

<img alt="Tumblr mey91jyFvp1qzzmedo1 1280" border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9AqI32Djy6n4vaISkMBd5OhCerzwIUORp6I5vWf3XJZJs1Q6IwiGFWrobyQRwONoJzxWZr5beIVd7qprosMGMj0hLeOQcfFRxlj3eDopHiT_MM3gF5Eh2c4sh5uC2Ks6VsdmdvTibjTs/?imgmax=800" title="tumblr_mey91jyFvp1qzzmedo1_1280.jpg" width="597" /><br />
It’s so lovely and delicate and feminine.<br />
<img alt="Tumblr movlk2siDt1r5fyg9o1 1280" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmCNuK9O51Gz_fqmxFF4y2ZPNUUWl-f10OqHnGj0tjsK6Vl1TML-hVQGzNJh2lvBECue-in_X-qvTstH1bz5FmkYo9Xkcxj7VGYUpbZT12f5-rocZXIPcvTGXVidsIlSHf7iKigosw5k/?imgmax=800" title="tumblr_movlk2siDt1r5fyg9o1_1280.jpg" width="600" /><br />
The older I get and the more complicated my life gets and the more my style evolves, the more I’m realizing my attraction to all things neutral.<br />
<img alt="Tumblr moe5630OuS1sn3kz0o1 500" border="0" height="594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsw2bujRW4fxRj5RAUSfke_SNpHypfu9IqrvE9lr5BdJIqOjbUwkHKs-cRS9Aqkc9Z2ghlpZNG8quoT8jmaVojMCixzsPrdqIP-018jCtatxB_2dzEsTfCi732NatI6iXaKB32CcMNgt0/?imgmax=800" title="tumblr_moe5630OuS1sn3kz0o1_500.jpg" width="500" /><br />
To me blush is a fun neutral cause it encompasses so many other colors.<br />

Like apricot, pink, peach and ivory<br />

and coral and beige and rose.<br />

I love the contrast in the color of her lips with her dewey skin.<br />

And the transformation this tangerine shade takes when it’s wet.<br />
<img alt="Tumblr mpzd98mwue1qaxe9co1 1280" border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaMNfcEK7VKy97PrmgcW3zrtXU3jURmpv9DmI1NxvPACM5jSxz7KDkRBmZUFGkz_qrS4PTnUijAd9uRB_-ONuqmSFrqoHr7FiHVvAh8Rwtb9jzzHQcpxoQECNICY8T_eZfVIprKHi9B20/?imgmax=800" title="tumblr_mpzd98mwue1qaxe9co1_1280.jpg" width="397" /><br />
Blush hues can add a fun pop of color<br />
<img alt="Tumblr mp5hyvuezN1s3lf4oo1 1280" border="0" height="403" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-pVps2HD6qD6RwqWVZWLnuPy02IlNc9HZstzoKb24A8_SkMZkDf3adfAxh9T0vLlrZJ8ad8DrX15Gq-LZU-Fk3woQZUdTXepIsDyvzc7BkhviahM_QAWc0HGdPT8OgYtTNriJU4-1Ul0/?imgmax=800" title="tumblr_mp5hyvuezN1s3lf4oo1_1280.jpg" width="600" /><br />
or can make a perfectly understated statement.<br />
<img alt="Tumblr mpfjep1aLm1snt5bbo1 500" border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTAL36a07vUfIGwbFMnQr19tR0z7PoTsVtlLtW3QhSeLh6-wuy77jykZi0j2l_zrTh7_wXbeDUO9Iy7TPbCK-LNLVGhcWnjCojGcdiJQkEnrjQMXlow35Gs0eSpZqWBnppaqQZgBFKyQg/?imgmax=800" title="tumblr_mpfjep1aLm1snt5bbo1_500.jpg" width="500" /><br />

Considering it was our first time going as parents of two young children, Todd and I pretty quickly decided that it would be ideal to stay as close to the <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/magic-kingdom/" target="_blank">Magic Kingdom</a> as humanly possible...that would ultimately be the iconic <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/contemporary-resort/" target="_blank">Contemporary Resort</a>. We were within walking distance of the park and there was a monorail stop in the hotel lobby, which meant we didn't have to deal with parking each day, and coming back to our room for Spencer to take a nap or just to have a break in the day before heading back to the park was totally doable. Although it certainly wasn't the most economical choice, it was without a doubt the most efficient. When it comes to getting the most out of a vacation, I tend to feel that time can be worth more than money.<br />

Above was our view of <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/space-mountain/" target="_blank">Space Mountain</a>. And at dusk, it literally looked like something from another world. Florida sunsets are something I dearly miss. There's just something about the humidity combined with the heat that seems to cause the sky to put on a ethereal exhibition each night.<br />

Although there were new rides and and other subtle changes throughout the parks, I was so happy to see that the foundation and integrity remained unchanged, and that Frances was able to experience Disney in the same way I so fondly remember doing when I was just a girl like her.

Frances loves it and has always had a blast. But, until a few weeks ago, she was still extremely apprehensive about going under the water. As a result, she wasn't progressing much in her swimming abilities. We decided to enroll her in one-on-one intensive swimming lessons for two weeks straight and it literally transformed her in just a few lessons. We were honestly astonished. Although her instructors certainly get most of the credit, having her wear goggles was without a doubt what jumpstarted her progression. Being able to go under water without getting water in her eyes completely liberated her! Now, she can swim several feet unassisted and (most importantly) she LOVES it!</span><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwbrLY-pvjDgVrE9dIGeHgBmzI4Prp_0avhgD044sQv5W2QdLcGIWVGzxlP_Dz-kWNkSnPYvhzqltk_AL3dCA6b11Av5Yj2dMYsjsOEAsAh_cy27O0kqVeo1La6qK6Fwgq4JvRr1m_8eQ/s1600/IMG_0295.JPG" style="text-align: left;" /><span style="text-align: left;">Then there's this guy. </span><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5VVjpikPQ_vNY1oC6rPtSj-wfHsk0lsC0yLS5hGSPsoekrc8ItKs7EgMUG3hI-JgCekUeGS5kdmbRRyuaLLWuzqzcgZ4vcyvkbUyuVSF9DBADXW_wlINGA6WljM1Bj9QD1T-wf8nvYA/s1600/IMG_0307.JPG" style="text-align: left;" /><span style="text-align: left;">He was certainly curious about the ocean.</span><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi63VNZRsPD3shtbFiEwQkFCdLtAuoZzoY0ZTSovX9SqpYTDS59FeHLmhnf8JJWrt7_9fL-9n8Ya4m11Uz5vJIe2wyVwBAI23UEFBEyT5x0tKAYKNtCwisPJyt6tIdGlZ5kRlRwE5i7eXE/s1600/IMG_0505.JPG" style="text-align: left;" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXrgtFX5if-rz5oHz-9I4CdQfPng81Zet-8C0hgBd_B6m6qPhdntDKW80xa3y0kXNiPMD8fHN3sveCf9IF7QkWgr-UxS6VRdB4NjRMORWAjHkA-Ee2VtM7baAwPtnbGRvFjqY9qemkq6E/s1600/IMG_0532.JPG" style="text-align: left;" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4e49K4hPhrLZjm0FT0rjY8-cU5jtZgsaSCKQtWbxurjqshaq2jOVnPCtTaRlTJAMPYWePvlWGq5OIxLsUs4CmBC0VsCDhzMGZMf2KEg9WnhQmOGTmxcoEeOVposG11HRIHzftX5ykOsA/s1600/IMG_5600.JPG" style="text-align: left;" /><span style="text-align: left;">But, he was ALL about the sand!</span><br />

<span style="text-align: left;">This guy just turned one. For Frances' first birthday we had a semi-elaborate party that I spent weeks preparing for, so I was fully aware that it was approaching. In contrast, Spencer's birthday completely snuck up on me and its arrival evoked a bitter-sweet feeling of "When did my baby get so big?!?" For me, the main difference between baby number one versus baby number two is that the first time around every teeny-tiny detail is considered a milestone and is celebrated in a grand way whereas, the second baby is lucky if he gets cake on his birthday! </span></div>
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That being said, this first year of Spencer's life has been an absolute joy. This little boy has brought so much fun and laughter into the Huber household. His unintentional silliness and "all boy" way of life is so refreshing and humbling. He is truly ALWAYS happy unless he's in pain or you stand in his way (literally)! His first word was "Hi", which is so appropriate. He's very social and loves people. He's always been very active and started walking (practically running) at a little over 10 months. We never baby-proofed anything for Frances. We didn't need to! With Spencer, we've had to baby-proof the entire house! But, he's so sweet and so affectionate and loving. Although he'll eat anything we offer him, he hates being confined to his highchair and would rather skip meals and spend his time doing something more productive like walking laps around the house. Although he's happy-go-lucky and pretty laid back he's also strong willed and very determined. He has completely captured our hearts and I'm so excited to see where he'll go in life.</div>

We recently spent several days in Colorado. It's amazing to me how even after an entire day of traveling with two young children and then spending two additional hours with those same kids (who never napped on the plane like they should've) in baggage claim at the Denver airport because their Daddy left his bag with his wallet (and mine) in the bathroom near the gate we arrived at, almost 30 minutes away (Denver airport is huge!), but can't go back through security to find it (cause his ID is in his wallet) and instead has to somehow direct an airport employee to try and retrieve it for him...it's amazing to me that just being somewhere so different than where you live and what you're used to can immediately energize you and fill you with overwhelming motivation and inspiration. </div>

For Frances, that included starting preschool. We were all anxious about where she'd go, what her teachers would be like, how she'd handle such a transition from the only life she'd ever known of being home everyday with me. Since her first day back in September, we could not be more satisfied with the school she's at, the teachers she has and the overall experience thus far. She is always excited to go to school and see her teachers and friends and it is evident that she feels just as safe and secure there as she does at home, which is what matters most to me. I am above all impressed with the preschool's director, Janis, who has been in her position for more than twenty years. She runs the school (via the curriculum and the facilitation of the teachers) with a child-centered approach. The school-wide discipline policy is really not to discipline, but is more about warm guidance and loving redirection. The director's goal is to make the children feel comfortable and confident in their environment to explore and take risks and make mistakes without fear of being ridiculed or scolded, and this philosophy undeniably works.<br />
<br />
One of my greatest challenges as a parent has been to instill values such as empathy, compassion, self-control and accountability in the most loving and patient capacity possible. The question often in my mind is HOW?? Below is February's edition of the newsletter we receive each month from Janis. It refers to the challenge I speak of (above) and it's the perfect example of why we are so happy with this school.<br />

This is Spencer Abe, the newest Huber. He was born May 19th. When I was about 6 months pregnant with him and frantically preparing (that's the only way I know how to prepare for anything) for his arrival I decided to take a hiatus from the blogging world (both in the writing AND reading capacity) to allow for total focus on what was most important. Since then, I'm just now starting to feel back in control of my life and like I'm able to have a bit of routine in my days again. Hence, I'm beginning to feel the return of the blog itch.</div>

1. The month of March started off with a party celebrating our little neighbor Virginia's very first birthday. Favors included pink balloons. 2. I'm so enchanted with these porcelain flowers made by New Jersey artist <a href="http://www.vladimircollection.com/" target="_blank">Vladimir Kanevsky</a>, who was highlighted in <u><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203358704577237372269654022.html" target="_blank">WSJ. Magazine's March issue</a></u>. 3. Wet feet. 4. Naturally, Frances has developed a fondness for tea parties. She truly is a little girl. 5. Cheers! 6. We visited her Nana and Papa in Florida. I love watching her experiment with all of the same gadgets and trinkets I did growing up in that house. 7. Bedding options for the nursery. 8. Indulging in both a bacon, egg and cheese cheddar biscuit sandwich AND a chocolate croissant from <u><a href="http://sunflourbakingco.com/" target="_blank">Sunflour Baking Company</a></u>. 9. Picnic at <u><a href="http://charmeck.org/mecklenburg/county/parkandrec/parks/parksbyregion/centralregion/pages/colonial.aspx" target="_blank">Colonial Park</a></u>. 10. Frances' vintage (mine from childhood) <u><a href="http://www.fisher-price.com/us/" target="_blank">Fisher Price</a></u> peeps. 11. Love this <u><a href="http://www.cathkidstonusa.com/" target="_blank">Cath Kidston</a></u> print. Perfect for spring! 12. This scene was the start of my very first weekend at home all alone since Frances was born. Rapunzel, Tinker Bell and an empty carseat pad were all that was left behind after dropping Todd and Frances off at the airport. 13. Breakfast solo style. 14. Quality Daddy and daughter time in <u><a href="http://www.southflorida.com/dining/19455,0,5385790.venue" target="_blank">Palm Beach, Florida</a></u>. 15. Sweet gift with a sweeter note from the sweetest friend. 16. The month of March was filled with performances. We shared an intimate, acoustical evening with <u><a href="http://www.blumenthalarts.org/default.asp?blumenthal=59&objId=3032" target="_blank">Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt</a></u> at <u><a href="http://www.blumenthalarts.org/default.asp?blumenthal=135&urlkeyword=theater_detail&objId=9" target="_blank">The McGlohon Theater</a></u> . They were so fun! 17. We try to include Frances in our experiences with the arts as often as we can. Here she is with the best view in the house at the <u><a href="http://www.blumenthalarts.org/default.asp?blumenthal=59&objId=2598" target="_blank">Sleeping Beauty</a></u> ballet. 18. <u><a href="http://www.operacarolina.org/events/365/" target="_blank">Eugene Onegin</a></u> was my very first live opera. 19. <u><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Short" target="_blank">Martin Short</a></u> was not only hilarious, but just an all-around brilliant performer. 20. Stocking up for baby Spencer. 21. My milkshake brings all the boys to the "park"... 22. "Look at these pretty purple flowers Mama!" 23. Loving all the neon this spring! This image was borrowed from <u><a href="http://statigr.am/viewer.php#/user/2998870/" target="_blank">@apairandaspare</a></u> on <u><a href="http://instagram.com/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></u>. 24. I love that Frances can always entertain herself with a book. 25. My favorite pizza combo at <u><a href="http://brixxpizza.com/" target="_blank">Brixx</a></u>...half hawaiian / half pear and Gorgonzola. 26. Bath-time! 27. This incredible spring with its overabundance of beautiful blooms has brought with it a pesky pollen allergy to my little girl. This is the dollhouse that entertained her in the lobby of our pediatrician's office. 28. Sweet moment while waiting for the doc. 29. Baby bump. 30. Frances' sweet ballet class. 31. Going on day #4 of not washing my hair. Aw, the glamorous life of a stay-at-home mom! 32. Frances pretending to have a baby in her belly. 33. Frances has quickly caught on to the phenomenon that is <u><a href="http://www.michaeljackson.com/us/home" target="_blank">Michael Jackson</a></u>. She's obsessed with watching his live performance of Billy Jean. 34. <i>Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'</i> is her second favorite song of his. 35. Roasted tomato, mozzarella, aged balsamic and mixed greens from newly opened <u><a href="http://e2emerils.com/" target="_blank">E2</a></u>. 36. Loved these fun lighting fixtures in the bathroom there. 37. Enjoying a beautiful spring night in Uptown Charlotte. 38. I love springtime in Charlotte! 39. NEON! 40. Happiness is <u><a href="http://www.instagram.com/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></u>. 41. Strolling through our <u><a href="http://charmeck.org/mecklenburg/county/parkandrec/parks/parksbyregion/centralregion/pages/midwoodpark.aspx" target="_blank">neighborhood park</a></u>. 42. Love when I find non-maternity options in my closet that accommodate my ever-growing belly!erin leigh huberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12357166077461793241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896441036521101062.post-86391490932170401052012-02-28T23:51:00.002-05:002014-08-07T20:51:49.278-04:00IT'S ALL RIGHT<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last night Frances picked a book off one of the shelves of our home library, opened it up and brought it over to me. The book she chose happened to be <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Things-Every-Mother-Should-Know/dp/1558323155/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330490662&sr=8-1" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">25 Things Every New Mother Should Know</a>, by Martha Sears. It was given to me by my own mother shortly after Frances was born during a brief (but super intense) period of time when I was really struggling with the newness of motherhood. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They say, "ignorance is bliss" and with the exception of the typical pregnancy discomforts and nuisances (heartburn, fatigue, hormonal roller coaster rides, etc...) being pregnant with Frances was relatively <i>bliss</i>ful. Once Frances was born and I had a few days for reality to settle in, it quickly occurred to me that motherhood would be the most difficult (albeit amazing, wonderful and rewarding) challenge I'd have to face at this point in my life (which I realize means I've had a pretty great life, and I have). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This time around, pregnancy has been much different for me. I now know what I'm facing and how my life and priorities will quickly and drastically change within just a matter of minutes. I'm also dealing with (what I realize are normal) feelings of guilt about the time that baby number two (who we'll be naming Spencer) will be taking away from my time with Frances and about how Spencer won't be reaping the same complete and undivided attention Frances received from Todd and I during her first couple of years. Mix in escalated hormone levels and you might say that lately I've been a hot mess. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC2eTnv5Svi6Xcbdaht7sFz4U7dgnh-De-ZLrs8wBX8jVMQmRwC8407ykK_MhrClY-N_wtnIJy-0oSdcOzuCQKOUcbiWr-tCd4CUZHbtuYj35zAIB0iAoDNf1_tjMEh_zxPUlFrBVdqIs/s1600/IMG_0472.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC2eTnv5Svi6Xcbdaht7sFz4U7dgnh-De-ZLrs8wBX8jVMQmRwC8407ykK_MhrClY-N_wtnIJy-0oSdcOzuCQKOUcbiWr-tCd4CUZHbtuYj35zAIB0iAoDNf1_tjMEh_zxPUlFrBVdqIs/s640/IMG_0472.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Coincidentally, Frances happened to have the book open to the above page when she handed it to me. And, of course, I cried. How did she know that's exactly what I needed to hear? Rereading the book grounded me (for the moment) and reminded me that this new challenge ahead of me will also bring new amazing, wonderful and rewarding experiences that will far outweigh the difficulties and that I CAN and WILL continue to be the best mother I know how to be. Thank you my sweet Frances.</div>

Here's a photo montage of life in the <u><a href="http://erinhuber.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Huber House</a></u> during the month of February, via <u><a href="http://followgram.me/huberhouse" target="_blank">Instagram</a></u>.<img class="BVks2c tJOOi" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPK4E7KUGjH5X-pbc-O7_Svzl5o1QKSVeJdMuYT9m5MZG30xAuDdLEbTVeAqc5sn_e1J6YfvxUtCzpyn9iAKznGpdxSoOLB-VJr8EEfAViYiunPaargNdRJc5RX29YSNA1csPBiHknGw/s905/Recovered+Autosave.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. We recently discovered <u><a href="http://sunflourbakingco.com/" target="_blank">Sunflour Baking Company</a></u> here in Charlotte and it has quickly become a family favorite. 2. We've frequented it every weekend this month! 3. Frances was of course thrilled to find they serve toast with <u><a href="http://www.nutella.com/en/" target="_blank">nutella</a></u>! 4. Captured this quick shot on a night out with my hubby. 5. We attended a lovely little gathering with friends where the theme of the night was "Cupcakes and Cocktails". I, of course, indulged in cupcakes and <i>mock</i>tails. 6. Frances is in the midst of her second session of ballet class at the <u><a href="http://www.ymcacharlotte.org/branches/harris/ha.aspx" target="_blank">Harris YMCA</a></u>. She absolutely loves it and wants to try tap class in the fall! Being a former dancer myself, I couldn't be more thrilled. 7. For as long as I can remember I've been on the hunt for store-bought tortilla chips only similar to the kind you find in authentic mexican restaurants...you know, the thin, flakey, crispy, full of flavor kind. <u><a href="http://www.salsaxochitl.com/#" target="_blank">Xochitl</a></u> (which I purchase from <u><a href="http://www.thefreshmarket.com/" target="_blank">The Fresh Market</a></u>) fits the bill! 8. Some Valentine's Day goodies I picked up from <u><a href="http://paperskyscraper.com/" target="_blank">Paper Skyscraper</a></u>, one of my absolute favorite Charlotte "go-to" gift shops. 9. This year's Valentine's Day card sent to Frances' family and little friends. 10. A sweet bouquet given to me from my valentine. 11. A giant, cellophane balloon Frances picked out for her Daddy. 12. Frances deciding what tasty treat to get for post-ballet snack time at the <u><a href="http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/store/2317" target="_blank">Barnes and Noble</a></u> cafe. 13. A little <u><a href="http://jellycat.com/usa/" target="_blank">Jellycat</a></u> bunny I purchased for baby Spencer. 14. Bath time! 15. Frances' new favorite thing to do while I shop for groceries is read her books. Here she has <u><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Andy-Picture-Puffins-James-Daugherty/dp/0140502777/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330026991&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Andy and the Lion</a></u>, a cute classic. 16. Playing with the <u><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/picframe/id433398108?mt=8" target="_blank">PicFrame</a></u> app. 17. An outing at <u><a href="http://charmeck.org/mecklenburg/county/ParkandRec/Parks/ParksByRegion/CentralRegion/Pages/Midwood.aspx" target="_blank">Midwood Park</a></u> on one of the more pleasant days we've had this month in Charlotte. 18. The daffodils are in bloom! 19. Is it Spring yet?? My feet think it is! 20. On this special night we got to pick up Daddy from work! 21. Frances reading one of her favorites, <u><a href="http://www.amazon.com/House-Night-Susan-Marie-Swanson/dp/0618862447/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0" target="_blank">The House in the Night</a></u>. Its illustrations are amazing. 22. Todd and I recently started watching season one of <u><a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/downtonabbey/" target="_blank">Downton Abbey</a></u> on our <u><a href="http://www.apple.com/appletv/" target="_blank">Apple TV</a></u>. Totally see what all the fuss is about. 23. Thinking about this little nightstand from <u><a href="http://www.westelm.com/" target="_blank">West Elm</a></u> for the nursery. 24. Greek key is probably my absolute favorite pattern. This orange variation is on the cover of my little nursery inspiration/idea notebook. 25. I am utterly obsessed with all things <u><a href="http://www.lanadelrey.com/" target="_blank">Lana Del Rey</a></u> right now...her music, her videos, her <u><a href="http://www.lanadelrey.com/" target="_blank">website</a></u>, her look, her style, her story. My favorite of her songs is <i>Off to the Races</i>. 26. One night in the month of February there were snowflakes falling somewhere in Charlotte...I'm sure of it! 27. Love the smell and color of lemon zest. 28. Here's Frances' pout face after her Daddy tells her we can't buy a toy <i>every</i> time we visit the bookstore. 29. <u><a href="http://www.goodfoodonmontford.com/index.php" target="_blank">Good Food</a></u> is the only place I know of locally that can pull off a name like "Good Food". It is, without a doubt, our favorite restaurant in Charlotte. 30. Yet another fabulous creation by the girls at <u><a href="http://modernsalonandspa.com/GettoKnowModern/ModernTalent/PhillipsPlaceTalent.aspx" target="_blank">Modern Salon & Spa</a></u>. 31. Spring is just around the bend! 32. My girl got her first cold in almost a year. On this morning she woke up feeling like Frances again. 33. We've been taking lots of naps together lately and I am loving every bit of it! 34. Curlicious! 35. Miss Independent insisting on riding the escalator unassisted. 36. This winter, Frances has been taking one-on-one swimming lessons at <u><a href="http://www.charlotteswimacademy.com/index.html" target="_blank">Charlotte Swim Academy</a></u>. Her initial reluctance has turned into sincere anticipation and enjoyment and Todd and I are SO pleased and impressed with the progress she's made. Most importantly, she feels so much more comfortable in the water! 37. During both of my pregnancies I'd say my biggest craving has been for citrus. <u><a href="http://www.simplyorangejuice.com/" target="_blank">Simply Orange's</a></u> Simply Grapefruit juice really hits the spot! 38. I still love perusing <u><a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></u>. 39. My ever-growing baby belly at 6 months. 40. In anticipation of new (albeit fantastic) chaos that will likely come with the new baby, this year's resolution is to simplify my life as much as possible. That includes <u><a href="http://erinhuber.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">my blog</a></u>. I've cleaned it up and de-cluttered it in hopes of inspiring me to blog more often about the simpler things in my life! 41. One morning Frances woke up and said, "Can we make popcorn today?!?" And, so we did. 42. Nothing has fulfilled the reading teacher in me more than watching my own daughter develop an absolute love for literature. Here's a stack of the books she's been loving lately.</div>

One thing I can't stand is the sour, mildewy smell a sponge gets often when it's only days old. I used to throw sponges away as soon as I'd detect even the slightest hint of that unpleasant odor. Needless to say, I spent (wasted) a lot of money unnecessarily replacing sponges. Then one day it occurred to me to try and wash one in the dishwasher with a load of dishes. Problem solved! That was several years ago and to this day I always have two sponges in rotation...one out on the sink to clean with and the other in the dishwasher. When I empty the clean dishes from the dishwasher I switch out the sponges. So, I never go more than a couple of days without having a freshly cleaned sponge and they last for weeks instead of days before I have to replace them!</div>

I love the sentiment, the colors, the cards, the crafts... I was snooping around <u><a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">here</a></u> to see what others are thinking of doing to express their love. As usual, <u><a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></u> did not disappoint. There was a ton of inspiration. Below are some goodies that I just couldn't resist sharing!<br />

Ideas of things I want to blog about are constantly filling my head at an almost overwhelming rate. I've found that I tend to refrain from posting (especially since <u><a href="http://erinhuber.blogspot.com/2012/01/ready-or-not.html" target="_blank">this little one</a></u> entered my life) because the perfectionist in me is waiting for enough time to make each post as creative and as thoughtful as possible. In an effort to compromise between blogging about as many things as I can that inspire me with continuing to blog in as thoughtful a way as I can <i>when</i> I can, here is a simple sort of personal book review I'd quickly like to share with you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few weeks ago Frances and I picked up the book <i><u><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/i-want-my-hat-back-jon-klassen/1100054181?ean=9780763655983&itm=1&usri=i+want+my+hat+back" target="_blank">I Want My Hat Back</a></u> </i>from our local <u><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/" target="_blank">Barnes & Noble</a></u> bookstore (one of our favorite places to visit). Since then, Frances has insisted that I read it to her daily.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Preparing for the arrival of baby number two has prompted me to reflect a lot on what it was like when Frances first entered our world, our lives, our home. For days, even weeks I remember feeling so overwhelmed with love that it literally hurt. The feeling of commitment and responsibility that immediately consumed me the moment I laid eyes on her scared me to death! I was recently looking through photos and videos of our first days with her and came across this. Watching it brought all of those feelings to the surface. (As a little disclaimer, I must warn you that the angles in the video are a little skewed. We did not realize at the time that our camera wouldn't self-adujst to rotation.)</span></div>

We took a family vacation to Santa Barbara in September in honor of <u><a href="http://erinhuber.blogspot.com/2011/09/frances-turns-2.html">Frances' second birthday</a></u>. It was a most memorable trip and I often find myself reminiscing of all the beauty and fun we experienced during our visit to the little seaside town. We stayed at the historic <u><a href="http://www.preview.fourseasons.com/santabarbara/">Biltmore Santa Barbara</a></u>, which became a Four Seasons Resort in 1987. Tucked out of sight and located on beautiful <u><a href="http://www.santabarbara.com/activities/beaches/butterfly/">Butterfly Beach</a></u>, its grounds are simply breathtaking. </div>

One of my first discoveries of 2012 was <u><a href="http://instagram.com/">Instagram</a></u>, a super fun and FREE <u><a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/?cid=oas-us-domains-iphone.com">iPhone</a></u> app. I downloaded Instagram several months ago, but it wasn't until I actually took the time to start using it that I quickly realized its potential. Instagram <i>instantly</i> began inspiring me to take pictures of anything and everything via it's photo feed, which displays pictures taken from the friends I choose to follow. Its several filter options allow you to customize your photographs into mini works of art. And <u><a href="http://www.jessicamcdougall.com/">this lady</a></u> informed me of the option for printing my little grams. I haven't printed any yet, but I plan on checking out <u><a href="http://printstagr.am/">Printstapgram</a></u> in the near future. Here are a few of my creations so far.</div>

I love tomatoes and use them in recipes as often as I can. But, in the past slicing them proved to be rather difficult for me. No matter how sharp or good my knife was my slices always turned out uneven and sloppy. Then, a few years ago I learned this great trick (from <u><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/">Martha</a></u> I believe)...use a knife with a serrated edge! For tomatoes of the larger variety, such as beefsteak tomatoes, I use a bread knife. And for smaller tomatoes, such as grape and cherry, I use a steak knife. I get perfect slices every time!</div>erin leigh huberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12357166077461793241noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896441036521101062.post-80228053014447744122011-09-30T09:15:00.000-04:002011-09-30T09:29:24.028-04:00Frances Turns 2<div style="text-align: left;">A few weeks ago, this little lady turned 2.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsI2p2axQ7kaPk8QTeMo6m-Q_NVUzCAqcWGP9oFYJZQU2J6c9-STAOqhGVqb4KoOJtJtSrtYUQ8nrW1eO5YTQECyn7fNIyXG_6qzZ-zmoYQnrO6ghkvdwhU7YiHTfAfW0wLUT3l-Kv7o/s1600/IMG_7027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsI2p2axQ7kaPk8QTeMo6m-Q_NVUzCAqcWGP9oFYJZQU2J6c9-STAOqhGVqb4KoOJtJtSrtYUQ8nrW1eO5YTQECyn7fNIyXG_6qzZ-zmoYQnrO6ghkvdwhU7YiHTfAfW0wLUT3l-Kv7o/s640/IMG_7027.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">This year, instead of throwing her a birthday party and lavishing her with tons of gifts (though a big part of me wanted to), we decided to give her the gift of making memories via a family vacation.
