Oh, hi. We totally weren’t expecting you. Come on in. You’ve come at a great time. If you direct your eyes to the bottom right hand corner of the frame, you can see one of the natives making an offering to the beast that lives in her closet. The beast requires {the organic version of} Cheese Nips, and the natives… Read more →
Category: Stuff I bought but probably shouldn’t have.
Kicking back.
Ankle-wrap sandals by Deena & Ozzy. Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It orange toenails by OPI. New fence in our backyard by Scott. Oh, summer…how I love thee. {And sorry for posting two pictures of my feet in the same week. I swear I’m not some weird foot fetishist. Believe it or not I actually hate feet. I just… Read more →
I’m sorry but I have to talk about my iPad.
Scott got me an iPad for my birthday. I’ve been feeling really guilty about it because, well…let’s just say there’s not exactly a line for pricey frivolous peripherals on our family budget excel spreadsheet. But he did it anyway. And it is totally awesome. And I have to talk about it. So instead of feeling guilty and playing… Read more →
Retail Therapy
Yesterday I was feeling kind of blue. Just one of those days, you know? When life kind of catches up with you, and you feel like you’ll never get out from under your to-do list, and the sky is kind of gloomy, and your baby is cutting two teeth at once, and you just kind of wish you could be… Read more →
Polka-Palooza
GILT is having an amazing sale on these FATBOY/DWELLSTUDIO bean bag chairs. I just bought a stool for Dee’s room (it matches her bedding…and her stuffed giraffe…and her toy bin….man I love these dots.) Click to JOIN GILT and check ’em out! …and speaking of things with dots (thanks Ashley!)… Dee is all packed and ready to go for her… Read more →
The Grass is Always Cleaner…
Before Dee was born, I was skeptical of our need for a bottle drying rack. First of all, I planned to be breastfeeding, so I didn’t think we’d be washing and drying too many bottles. Second of all, thanks to my BFF Ellen, I have a brand new fancy (whisper quiet) Frigidaire Dishwasher, so I’d just be popping those [few… Read more →
Organic Love
The Mini Social is having a sale on Kate Quinn Organics, and I HAD to pick up one of their infant saques for my little girl to come home from the hospital in. “The Coming Home” outfit seems to be quite the rage amongst new Moms these days, but I wasn’t quite getting what the fuss was about until I… Read more →
Things that arrived in the mail.
Part of cleaning out our “nursery” has included a massive sell-off of everything we’re not using. It’s been a while since I’ve spent some real time on eBay or Craigslist, but in the last few weeks I’ve been a selling/trading/bidding madwoman and we’ve been able to buy just about everything we needed for the office/nursery switchover from the money we’re… Read more →
It’s a sickness, really.
I effing love me some Home Decor. Maybe it’s because growing up, my Mom was an interior designer (both by nature, and by practice) and was/is constantly bringing home new accessories/swatches etc. to switch out with the old and keep the house “fresh.” When Scott and I moved in together, I went into overdrive. I’m a home furnishings shopaholic, and… Read more →
EUREKA!
I AM THE GREATEST BARGAIN SHOPPER ALIVE! After scouring every discount store (TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Ross…) on both east coast and west – I finally found it! My very own Stella McCartney for LeSportsac Mum Tote complete with matching changing pad, bunny charm, and makeup case (as if!) for a mere fraction of it’s original $350 price tag!
