About

hey! i’m mandy and this is mah blog (spoiler alert!). i’m wife to Scot (no typo, just the one T) and mama to Harper, the most charming toddler i’ve ever met. i started the Haps to document her life back when she was just a few months old in hopes that one day i’d have something to show her since the 3 baby books i own are sitting lonely with a few pages filled out (i’m either the laziest person alive or a hoarder – jury is still out on that one). over time, people started finding us (the internet is crazy you guys!) and a few years later, here i am still sharing stories about the nugget plus all kinds of other adventures we have as a family of 3 brunettes – one a gemini, one a scorpio and one a cancer. i’ll let you guess which is which as you read.

i’m a stay at home mom, so expect lots of stories about toddler dramatics and cute tricks. i’m also a vintage lover and thrifting addict, so expect to hear about all the awesomely old and kitschy things i buy. since i came out of my new mommy haze, i’m a lover of style and trying to dress myself for the public (read:wearing a bra), so i do a couple of style series like steppin’ out saturday and mama style. we have a pug, a french bulldog and a cat i absolutely cannot stand and they’re all ladies. and by ladies i mean they have hoo-ha’s not that they are well behaved as such. i’m obsessed with anderson cooper, narwhals, blogging and americanos.
