Black Floral Bodysuit I’ll be honest, I thought I was going to completely miss out on the bodysuit trend due to pregnancy. Luckily, it seems to be sticking around. This ribbed black with mini floral print was calling my name from the instant I saw it. There are no snaps at the bottom, straps are
Living in a 1400 square foot house, built in 1942 means I have to make very conscious space planning and decor decisions. With the addition of my daughter to the Henesy house, my life, my world and my work space naturally changed drastically. Didn’t take a baby swing and Pack ‘n Play into account when I

A couple weeks back we had a babysitter planned and the opportunity for a much needed date night. Then the question was where to go for an adult dinner out for the first time in months? My husband works in downtown Milwaukee and heard there was a new restaurant in the Westin Milwaukee. I love
My sweet little baby girl turned 9 months old today. Feels like a milestone… 9 months in and 9 months out. 18 months of motherhood. Holy cow! What was life even before Lillian? I’ve been doing her monthly pics on this blanket since she was born. I’m bound and determined to make it all the
~Photos by Vanessa Jordan Photography~ Fall fashion is upon us and that means shopping and wardrobe updates. Given my obsession with ribbons and bows, I’m TOTALLY loving this sash pant trend so much! You mean I can tie a pretty bow right at my waistline? Yep! I always shop the sale sections because the
A year or so ago, I remember coffee scrubs being all the rage on Instagram. I was also working from home for the first time and making my own coffee in the French press every day. Day after day I threw out the used grounds. Being the modern hippie that I am, I wanted to
Let’s talk linens and things… Until recently I was only aware of 2 fibers used to make bed linens. Cotton and silk.
