say hello!

say hello to our new additions-- last week h and i bought new bikes! after visiting six different bike shops we found the perfect ones. fancy pants (h) went all out and got a globe live with a built in rack.

i went with the linus dutchi 1 in pearl and i la-la-love it. i put in an order for a back rack and basket and once those are installed it will be perfect! (and yes, mom. we both have helmets!)

btw for those of you who are nervous to hop back on a bike (the last time i was on one it was a puffy paint huffy number back in fifth grade.) riding a bike really is... like riding a bike and after a few minutes i gained my balance and i was riding like a pro.

xo, 
jillian


ps: want to see our itty bitty bedroom?! check out my guest post over at a la mode.


o and i made the photo collage for this post by using my memories suite digital scrapbooking software suite...enter to win it.

So fun! We just bought a house closer to the beach and we've decided that we MUST have some beach cruisers ASAP.

Ok, I know you're not supposed to buy a bike because of its cuteness factor, but your bike is really cute! Have so much fun riding around!

Val said...

I love your bike and it's a perfect color!!

Alexa said...

Ah you are too cute. Love the choice of the pearl! I am so terrible at bike riding...but when we did it in Argentina I actually wasn't TOO bad. Ha

i didn't learn to ride a bike until i was 21 in college. so trust me if you learned when you were little you will have a much better time of it.

So cute! I love your handle bars and vendors. So important for when it rains. I remember the first time I rode my bike as an adult (it just happened last year!) I was so nervous and I kept bumping into things. I was not nearly as graceful as you!
