We have a tendency of frequenting the same core of about ten restaurants here in Charlotte, North Carolina. But I love to try new food. Especially fresh and natural! I picked up this goodness from Maki Taco, a Charlotte food truck with a Pan Asian influence. (You can follow them on Facebook to see their…
The better part of nearly three years of Gabrielle’s sartorial existence is headed out the door today. I’m trying a consignment sale for the first time – and I’m excited to see what the outcome of my preservation of these items will be. I’m taking them to The Posh Closet sale in hopes that some…

I have been purging both my children’s clothing as they grow since there are very few hand me downs, having both a boy and girl. I have kept many of both children’s 100% cotton outfits as I intend to put together two quilts for me to remember my favorite outfits from the time when I got to choose what they would wear. Enjoy it while it lasts, Tatum will no longer wear anything that is not knit and neither of my children will wear denim. Fortunately, they both like black, one of my favorite colors to wear and buy.
Oh, how sweet! How I wish I could go shop that sale in Charlotte-I’ve loved everything Gabrielle has worn and hope my own children can be as stylish!
This makes me tear up. Its always sad to say goodbye to the past but fun to look forward to the future. So impressed with your organization!
Looking at these pictures brought me back great memories…
I hope that you’ve kept some of her most special outfits (or most memorable). When Gabrielle becomes a mom, she will love the fact that you have kept them to hand down to her children. I did that with my son and to see my grandsons wearing the clothes brings back precious memories!
I don’t know how you can do this! You are so much better than me, and I don’t even have a kid;)
I’m sure all of G’s beautiful clothes will make another Mom and little tot very very happy!
Miss ya’ll.

Charlotte has had the craziest, all-across-the-board weather days lately. Chances of snow, followed by mid-60s, followed by rainy days (which I love). So we’ve been having all kinds of fun, indoor dance parties! And new discoveries in dress up. Ali shared with me a super simple chicken noodle recipe that I’ve been making each week….

Such a lovely girl! Do you mind me asking what noodles you’re using in the soup? They look much smaller than a typical egg noodle. Thx!
Suzette – Thank you!
sweet post, Jessica!
Instagram has been the coolest life addition for documenting moments and also for following the lives of some of my favorite people via the “feed.” Miss taking my outfit of the day pictures! A delicious cream puff from Amelie’s. Gabrielle’s favorite book Marcel the Shell. An ice cream treat at Ghiradelli. Gabrielle back in swimming…

Mary – Yes, I am so bummed about picnik closing. I tried using it through the google+ interface, and it’s just not the same. I’m in search of wordpress plugins that will allow me to create simple and easy grid collages!
Robin – Thank you! Find me on instagram when you get your iPhone!
Susan – Glad you like the postalpix!
Robin – Thank you 
I let Jeffrey know your sentiment.
oh and I forgot to mention the “12″ necklace…tell jeffrey I think it’s so pretty and so thoughtful of him to have given it to you
I ordered a bunch from Postal Pix…loving it!! Thank you for sharing that tip!
I just love your collages jessica!…I don’t have an iphone and want one just for instagram. The pic of gabrielle “ready for bedtime” is my favorite
Thanks! I saw that picknik is ending soon?…hmm I was hoping it was some magical app you found to avoid using PS If I find something I’ll send it your way.
Hi Mary! I uploaded the photos from my iPhone into Aperture and then moved them into picnik.com and used their “collage” feature. Very simple to do. I’m looking for other ways to share too, so if you find any let me know!
I’m very curious as to how you put your collage together? I LOVE your instagram posts and have struggled with sharing in a creative way.
Likewise Suzette! So fun to see what you’re up to!
love Instagram and love following you on there 
Chanel’s Glowing Blush Harmony. So pretty. Love Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2012 strappy shoes. Happy Mama&G time in Charlotte. Crazy Fair Isle leggings on a cold day. I’m so excited to be doing Ali’s suggested Project Life. And at the same time I’m loving Instagram. The result is the sweetest little prints from PostalPix…

Linda – I used Picnik.com to make the collage. They were bought out by Google and will soon be offering all their services for no fee. Woohoo!
Robin – The sound quality is perfect (depending on the quality of the record). We are so enjoying having a record player in the home!
Mefi and Suzette – I love PostalPix! Also just received some of the Instagoodies stuff I ordered. Definitely recommend both!
Thank you Jordan and Lou!
Jessica- may I ask what rogram you use for your wonderful photo collages?
another great post…love finding out about items you or jeffrey love, I click on each link. and that last photo of you is killer, you look absolutely gorgeous. My huband and I were looking for an old turntable at sleepy poet yesterday but the one you show looks great! how’s the sound quality? I’d loved to just get out some of our old lp’s and start collecting vinyl again.
Thanks for the PostalPix tip.
So you like PostalPix? I am still waiting on my order!
Happy New Year! I love the way you captured the month. Beautiful Jess!
You are a darling darling girl. I love you. And you know I love me some red lipstick!

lee - While flying on Thursday, I saw an article in US Airways’ magazine about food trucks – including one in Charlotte (Roots) with fare like heirloom tomato sandwiches with black-pepper aioli or prosciutto and parmesan mac and cheese. It made me wonder if you’d heard of it or tried their grub. =)
Liz - Hallo! I’m booking my flight to Charlotte. Those are right up my flavor alley!
The Frat Pack + Me - I have seen their truck in my neighborhood. I think they cater too!
