lets bake!

I'm just in the mood to whip up something pretty to eat today. I'm declaring today "eat only pretty food day"

A HUGE thanks to Tater Tots & Jello for featuring the stripe bathroom makeover yesterday. It made my day!

made it!

What a week! I have been working on projects, I swear! I've also only left the house to make two separate trips two the pediatrician and one to the pharmacy since Tuesday but Lucy finally seems to be on the mend. Let's just say I won't miss this week when it's over. 

I've got the itch to wallpaper paper something, anything!

next week will be better....

especially if food like this appears before my sleepy eyes tomorrow morning, I'll have to work on that.

PS My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the earthquake and tsunami. It's positively devastating and my heart aches for them. 

all fancy schmancy!

Notice anything different? I'm thrilled to bits to show off my new blog layout! My pal Torri over at Digital Confections did an amazing job at listening to my ideas and incorporating them into a truly amazing design! I can't say enough nice things about Torri and her work. Pop on over and give her shout if you're in the market for super fresh new look too!

tanks and thanks!

Yesterday I made my first spring wardrobe purchase. I fell in love with this tank in the Dear Lillie etsy shop. Now I just need the matching temperatures and I'm set. This is the quote behind the silhouette.

L.M. Montgomery, "There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. One bitter day, when they seek it and cannot find it, they realize what they have lost; and that is the tragedy of life. On that day the gates of Eden are shut behind them and the age of gold is over. Henceforth they must dwell in the common light of common day. Only a few, who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again; and blessed are they above mortals. They, and only they, can bring us tidings from that dear country where we once sojourned and from which we must evermore be exiles. The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and story-tellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland." 

 I also wanted to thank ModernWivelyhood for featuring my bathroom stripe makeover yesterday! That was so sweet and I really appreciate all of the blogland love from you lovely ladies!

 

new fun stuff and thank you

Happy Monday guys! Just returned home from a toddler-tastic trip to kindermusik with Lucy. While she's been off in dreamland I was able to photograph and list a few new things in the etsy shoppe. 

I wanted to to say thank you to Christina for featuring my striped bathroom makeover yesterday. I was so excited, THANK YOU! 

Hope you're all off to a great week!
