Lenox Farms Apartment Logo recognition - and some work life balance tips!

Working from home with the wee babe.

Well is not every day that a logo gets seen on the world wide web, let alone gets recognition as a best in class. The fine folks at Design Rush were kind enough to reach out and let me know that the logo I designed for Lenox Farms Apartment Homes is up for The Best Real Estate Logo. It will be featured in the design trends section of their website and I am honored to be included.

As you can see above, toiling away on designs with 3 kiddos and an elderly dog at home can be a challenge. I try to manage my work-life balance by:

1. Getting up before my kids. Its a game changer to sneak in a few sips of coffee before the pitter patter of little feet and a barrage of questions at 7:15am.

2. After they are deposited at school, I go for a 30-45 minute walk to get some Vitamin D.

3. Since I have already peeked at my email I have a pretty good idea of what my first task will be, but I also like to have my whole week planned in advance. For more info on this definitely read this blog post on time management!

Easter Outfit Ideas for our little man

Egggssscccited for Easter on Sunday! My Mom recently joined a church choir (how cute is that) so we are meeting her for mass on Sunday at the Denver Basilica, and then having some friends over for an Easter lunch! On the menu, Pioneer Woman's Easter Ham, deviled eggs, mac and cheese, potato casserole, mixed green salad and another vegetable TBD. Oh yea, and cupcakes, looooots of cupcakes for this preggo. 

I'm mostly excited to dress up our little man in the most prep-tastic outfit you can imagine. I really do love seersucker and a toddler in a bowtie is too much to handle. I (hastily) ordered some adorable seersucker overalls with suspenders, but I'm worried they won't arrive in time. I do have these pieces which little man will be sporting: 

The (wrinkled) pink oxford is from H&M, the bowtie was a shower gift and the rabbit ears are from World Market. Here are a few other Easter outfit ideas, monogramming is the preppiest touch, I love it. Is that because I'm southern...??

1. Sleeveless overalls with monogram - Soda City Sewing on Etsy $45
2. Navy blazer and pink shorts - Janie and Jack $109
3. Chartreuse cardigan and bowtie - Sweet Little Peanut
4. Green gingham button up with pocket monogram - Alma and June $22
