flaming friday.

the return of this fabulous friday tradition.
an oldie, but a goodie!
turn it on.

enjoy!

new ride.

back in july i said farewell to my

trusty civic & hello to a new ride!

this was my last ride,

driving it into the carmax garage.

i got the civic back in 2009

when i traded in my jeep... 

anyone remember that jeep?

that was the coolest car.

a few years ago slim & i were to exploring 

and we rented a subaru outback.

i've wanted one ever since.

that dream came true this july!

slim spent no less than 6 months

deciding what we should get & we

special ordered this green gem.

it has all the safety features, like notifying

me when i cross into other lanes,

when objects in front of me have stopped,

when i have a  back itch & 

exact locations of surrounding rainbows.

it's a great car.

*look at that bump!

my tribe.

     

                       #preach

pop pop pop it up.

say hello to our new little friend!

y'all, we got our pop up camper!

after too many hours spent on craigslist

slim finally found the pop up camper of our

dreams!

rory was stoked- as you can tell!

it's so compact!

right now it's living in our driveway,

but if you or someone you know has an open

space in a garage or something

please let us know- we're looking for

a better parking place!

here she is popped up in all her glory.

it's a 2006 fleetwood cheyenne.

lea & rory enjoying the dining room.

there's both a king size bed & a queen & 

two additional sleeping spots-

homegirl can sleep like 10 people!

there's a lot to be done interior

redecorating wise, and i've got

great ideas for new curtains & upholstery.

i've been obsessed with

the pop up princess 

and all the renovations she shares.  

lea & rory.

we are SO excited.

who wants to join us first?!

stay tuned for our adventures!

r.

r is for rory.

that's an r in braille.

we named rory jane for 

our beloved maternal grandmothers

ruth & jane.

i found this necklace at beehive

during their warehouse sale.

*i was for sure stopped when 

i took this car selfie- safety first!

RJH

we had a baby!

this blog just took a turn for the better!

we welcomed our daughter, 

rory jane hunt on august 2nd

at 9:38 in the morning.

she came 3+1/2 weeks early.

we were at a phish concert and my water broke.

my ob is away one week a year & that was the week.

i was able to stick to my birthing plan

of welcoming our child sans medication

& without medical intervention.

laboring and delivering is such an

intense experience.

jim was the most amazing partner.

i couldn't have done it without his empathy,

support, love and strength.

when i gave the final push & we found out

it was a girl, this calmness washed over me.

our daughter, for who we dreamt, wished &

prayed so damn hard for was finally here.

and to top it off, she was absolutely perfect

weighing in at 5lbs+11oz.

one more time...

okay, i'm pretty serious this time- i'm back! i've missed blogging & now have more to share than ever.. but am also busier than ever. prepare yourselves for extreme baby sharing. 

here's me and my girl last night on our walk. this moby wrap carrier is awesome. I made dinner with her in it, ate & then walked the neighborhood. 

thanks for the hand-me-down sarah!
