Happy Friday, loves! This has been a busy week for little pearls on a string. She’s had quite the makeover and is growing by the day. In addition to that, I am so excited to announce that pearls on a string is now a proud member of Martha Stewart’s Circle of Bloggers! I’m completely honored to be a part of this group, which includes some pretty awesome blogs like smitten kitchen, Oh the lovely things, and Style Me Pretty. I am looking forward to what the future may hold, but right now I am just enjoying sharing the happenings in my life (or, as Nathan told me, the ideas burning in my skull). I hope everyone has a lovely weekend ahead! It’s supposed to be très warm here on Sunday (60s!) so I am hoping to enjoy the outdoors and take Charlie for a swim.

{Play together: Nathan and I plan to decrease our TV watching and increase our quality time together by taking up cribbage. If we get really into it I want to splurge on this sweet reclaimed wood board.}

{Eat: Artichoke spinach pizza with white beans}

{Watch: Wilfred (in case cribbage doesn’t pan out)}

{Decorate: For Valentine’s Day with chic garland (Is it too soon? I’m experiencing holiday withdrawals)}

{Wear: This cord bracelet in muted tones}

{Appreciate: The simple pleasures in life, like the window rolled down and the wind in your face (from my Instagram)}
