away we go

Has anyone else seen this? We watched it over the weekend and it was so cute. I swear we didn't have it at the top of our netflix queue because it happens to be about a young-ish couple preparing for their first baby. Didn't even realize that's what it was about. But that of course made me love it a little bit more.



It's sweet and funny and has a great cast... and the alternative parenting portion of the movie is HI-LARIOUS.

And the whole soundtrack is Alexi Murdoch. I like him, also contributing to my enjoyment of the movie.

LOVE this movie! I literally watch it once a week - well, my favorite scenes! The tone and rhythm of the film offer such comfort and I aspire to be such a couple as Burt and Verona! There's something about this movie that makes me feel like everything will be okay! Glad you enjoyed it!

i watched it just a couple of weeks ago and i LOVED it too! it was very sweet and funny, touching too. really enjoyed it :)

i was actually surprised how much i liked Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski together. Maya was so serious, in a very good way.

We just watched it over the holidays, and I loved it too! I adore John Krasinski in just about anything & agree that the alternative parenting scenes with Maggie Gyllenhal were hysterical. Laughing just thinking about the stroller...

This was one of my favorite movies from last summer - we decided it was a must-see even though the air conditioning in the moive theater was out of order. Yikes.
But, totally worth it.

I absolutely LOVED this one! SO sweet! Loved when he was trying to scare her to hear the baby's heart! :)

I wanted to pass along this website...I'm not positive that this is completely "your style" but they have the most darling "bohemian" baby clothing and accessories!
