Desert Delight

Over the weekend I took a trip to Arizona to visit one of the states newest residents, a true desert delight, Melissa! I shared here about moving to AZ to follow her Hart. 

I had never been to Arizona so I didn't really know what to expect. I was surprised by how big the mountains are and completely intrigued by the saguaro cactus! They are so cool and if you are crazy like me, you start thinking the cactus look like people giving a low-five, or two cacti hugging (yep, crazy!). While I still prefer trees to cacti and grass to sand, I really enjoyed Arizona. 

Of course, I was most excited to see Melissa and ....her bebe bump! She and Mr Hart are expecting their first bebe in May. I was happy to meet Parker (aka Mr Hart), see their new home and desert lifestyle.

Speaking of which, here are a few pics of the outside of their home: 

Parker (circa 1996) +  Melissa = love

On Sunday we took a drive north to Sedona. It was beautiful! Parker took us on a private Jeep tour up into the hills, which was fun and really bumpy. 

While in Sedona we also took a little hike. 
Sadly this is the only picture we took together the whole weekend.

I also got to meet Parker's best friend, Dylan!

And what everyone really wants to see...Melissa and her bebe bump!

Although they're still deciding on room themes, I wanted to make them a Baby Hart Bunting Banner to get the decorating party started! They aren't finding out bebe's gender until birth so the potential (neutral) themes are: jungle, turtles or rock star. Regardless of the room theme, there is no doubt Baby Hart will be spoiled rotten with love! I am so excited for M&P and their bebe!

Thanks to M&P for hosting me for the weekend!

I might never leave the kitchen


Jess and I modeling our new aprons


My sweet friend Melissa made these adorable aprons as holiday gifts. She made each apron completly unique to the recipient; different colors, fabrics and patterns for each apron. I could not have picked out more perfect fabric or design for myself. And it feels extra special knowing she made it just for me!

I received many thoughtful gifts, but this one is one I'm going to have a hard time taking off. I might never leave the kitchen so I can keep it on!

Sweet Melissa has hinted at selling them.
I've encouraging her to sell them on Etsy. Stay tuned!
