I am so lucky to have a twin sister. Today is our birthday and over the years we have tried to celebrate together, but sometimes life gets in the way...The middle of May is a busy time of year. There's graduations to attend, we've been to the Preakness many times which falls on the third Saturday In May and there's always baseball games and lacrosse jamborees at this time of ...
add-a-pearl + madewell and brandy melville

are you a list maker?
I have always made lists. Just the other day my daughter and I were talking about this habit. We both confessed that sometimes we add something to the list that we have already accomplished and immediately cross it off. What's that all about? I'm almost afraid to know the deeper meaning behind it. The list above was done my daughter at age 5. It was our first ...
