Who loves boutiques? How about small businesses? I know I do! A new-to-me boutique, Whimsy on Fifth, opened up in our area of Pittsburgh and I recently had the chance to stop in and check it out.
Whimsy on Fifth is just so delightful! The shop carries gifts, home goods, clothing, jewelry, stationary, accessories, and more. It’s definitely going to be my go-to spot for shopping local and finding unique gifts for friends and family.
I even had the chance to speak with Whimsy’s owner, Rebecca, who was so kind and helpful. It’s clear she’s passionate about curating a great variety of goods for her shop and helping her customers find just the item they’re looking for.
If you’re local to Pittsburgh, I highly recommend stopping into Whimsy on Fifth (it’s located in Presto!) and if you’re not from the Steel City, you can shop Whimsy’s unique finds on their website!
Here were are, somehow in the last month of 2018. Crazy! Do you have any big goals for 2019? I hope December is treating everyone well! Here’s what’s currently going on in my life 🙂
Current book This cute Christmas-themed novel. Also, the beginning of Matthew and Luke as Christmas is approaching. The story of Jesus’ birth never. gets. old.
Current joy Meeting our new cousin, Hunter! What an adorable, sweet bundle of joy. Also, when we visited the hospital, one of the nurses was cracking up at the face Sadie is making in the picture below and said she had a very judge-y look on her face, haha. When she makes that face we call her “Stone Cold Sadie.”
Current food Balsamic pork loin. I love cooking up a pork loin with balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, and oregano.
Current beauty product This mascara. My mom said it won an award on Good Morning America for being the best drugstore mascara, so I had to try it. I like that it has primer and mascara all in one product. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and think it’s great.
Current baked good I baked gingersnaps last night, but I really want to bake a loaf of bread. I’m dreaming of kneading and braiding some good ol’ challah dough.
Current obsession Matching outfits with Sadie. Yup, I’m one of those moms. I got her dressed for a church ladies lunch on Saturday and realized I had an outfit that kind of matched! A new obsession was officially born that day.
Current blessing On the topic of the ladies lunch, Sadie was super fussy for about half of it. My sister, mother-in-law, and friend all helped hold Sadie, entertain her, and even coaxed her into a solid nap. It was a huge blessing to have such loving women helping me out!
Current indulgence Sleeping in whenever Sadie allows 🙂
Current need Still in need of a good haircut. I did a quick trim myself since I last mentioned needing a cut, but I still have yet to get to a salon.
Current craving Another outing in Pittsburgh. Jimmy, Sadie, and I had a little staycation earlier this month and visited the National Aviary, and now I want to head to all of the attractions in the ‘Burgh.
The workers at the Aviary took our picture by the Christmas display!
Current excitement My sister has her anatomy scan on Christmas Eve! Praying all is well with Baby Rowe and can’t wait to find out if Hannah and Josh are having a boy or girl!
Current mood Emotional. Watched this video and cried my eyes out. Jimmy asked why I was crying, so I showed him the video and cried again!
Current confession I got a pedicure a few days before Sadie was born and I still have the polish on my toes three months later.
Current goal To use our grill as much as possible this winter. Jimmy and I love to grill during the warm months, and we want to keep it up during the winter!
