Wanna meet my friend, Candace? We met over instagram. Kinda crazy, right? I had started following her because she is an amazing interior decorator and organizer in Boston and owner of House of Paige, and if we’re being honest, I need all the advice I can get on the organization front. Her blog and account gave me tips and tricks that I followed to a tee when we moved right down to the paint colors on our walls. Well, for one reason or another, I thought it imperative to reach out to her and tell her how much I loved her, and miraculously, I didn’t creep her out and we somehow became friends. If you are looking for someone to help you with your home, she is your girl. She’s so talented and works with all kinds of budgets, and best of all, you don’t have to be local to the Boston area. She now offers personal design services through the world wide web.

But to the real reason why you’re here…little Penny.

Watching your friends, even your friends that you’ve stalked via social media and forced yourself on, become moms for the first time is unreal, and I love that I got to spend time with Candace and Pete in the first few days of Penelope’s life. I am sure it doesn’t feel like it to them, but they are doing an amazing job of loving on that little girl. They are soaking in the snuggles and taking the challenges in stride and I love watching their life via Instastory and see all the fun the are having. I know, with all my heart, that Penny is going to be loved so hard for her whole life, and I think she is so lucky. And I also predict that her bedrooms will be the envy of all her friends because with a mom with as much style as Candace, it’s guaranteed.

I could eat her. Couldn’t you?

Candace, I loooove your family.  You are so lucky to have them (as you know) and they are the luckiest to have YOU!  And so am I!
