The Babies Are Coming

Love. Love. Looooooooooove. Want to go see this movie wtih me?

An Awesome Book.

Just ordered this book. For every book the author sells, he's giving one away free! Hurrah!

*Found on Design Mom.

Need it.

Found here.

(although $82 for a dress? Come on, Shabby Apple--have a sale!)

Way Off The Beaten Track....

Have you seen these? Go Girl makes it possible for the ladies to pee standing up (or maybe into sometime if we want to go there) We have a camping trip coming up where there will be two ladies having to brave the wilderness (and one of us is 3 years old) Think she can handle it? Or would she be in therapy about it? We'll see!



I suggest every woman buys one and keeps it in her car (because isn't that were all terrible pee stories begin?)

Color Me Katie.

Check out this blog. Listen to her interview here. I LOVE this!

Fear Of Commitment.

Love this shirt. Found here.

Have An Orange Crush On Me.

Love it.

Braids.

Love, love braids for summer hairstyles (i.e hides my nasty, sweaty hair) This is what I'm loving this week. Although I have to wonder what magic power is holding all together--mine would have fallen out by now.

Check out the Braid Wednesday Flickr Pool here.

Post It Love

Love + Office Supplies. Does it get any better?

If you know my mom, you know that she has sayings printed throughout her house. I love going there and reading all the different ones. I think I'm a little too organized (some would say freakishly) to have them all over, but this print is wonderful. I just ordered it for my house--same artist as this print, which I also have framed in my house.

Painted floors.

Check out this before and after. I've always been a sucker for painted floors--this one is blowing my mind.

Summer Soundtrack.

The first time I heard this song I loved it. The entire CD is perfect for summer. Go buy it today!

*Update: Oh duh! The artist is Micheal Franti.

Nose piercing anyone?

People I just might do this. A teeny, tiny nose piercing. I think it's going to be my summer crazy thing I do! Who's with me?? They are actually quite cute. And unlike a summer tattoo which doesn't come off quite so easily.

I'm A Beach Convert.

I swear if I could get married all over again (to the same guy!) this is what I would do. I love the entire wedding scheme. The smores idea just sent me over the edge. Someone use this--I know I great beach!!

Sponge Ball.

I'm hosting a party this weekend found this link for a cheap kids activity. Check it out! Let me know if anyone else does this!

The Ultra-Appreciatives.

Check out this awesome tribute to a mom on Mother's Day. There isn't enough space on my memory cards for the pictures I would have taken. Your husband loving you enough to wear tights? Priceless.

Dress Up Doll Decals

I can't believe I've never seen this before. My daughter would play with this.....well, when she could get me away from it. Washable? Scrunchable*? Genius!



*My spell check is saying "scrunchable" is not a word. No way.

DYI Newborn Book

What a wonderful idea! A DIY newborn book--just check out the link here. Nuff' said.

Monster Hoodies

After looking at this, I don't think it would be so hard to just add teeth and googly eyes to a green sweatshirt. My son would be all over this.



See it here.

Sungold Chair

Ah, I NEED this chair. NEEEEEEED!

Pretty Much The Best Thing Ever. *Updated

*Update: I found another one. Not as fantastic as the first, but I love their song choices!

Days With My Father

Phil Toledano released a photo essay titled Days With My Father. A touching compilation of photos taken after the death of Toledano's mother, the images serve as a time capsule of the period. Simple and sparse and really moving.

Makes me cry every time. How's that for an endorsement?



*Update: Some people are confused about his site. If you double click on each picture, it moves you to the next shot.

I'm really excited about this movie.

The music? The font? AWESOME!

Hanging Tent

Saw this today and LOVE it. Remember on "The Holiday" where Jude Law's kids had that awesome tent? (completely my favorite part of the entire movie)

They sell them here, but you can make this! If you attempt it, let me know--I want some guidance before I try it.



Look at the black, white and pink one here.

Clever, clever, clever.

Saw this idea today and LOVED it. A way to display my kids artwork that had never occured to me. See full tutorial here.

Do you have teeny, weeny feet?

I want these sooooo bad. Stinkin' huge feet. But if you have very wee feet, buy them.

Food Face Dinner Plate

I MUST have this. It's out of stock right now, but is coming back soon. Seriously, these might even get me to eat vegetables.

Maybe.

It's calling my name...

Karma necklace? No way, this one is named Harmony!

Karma Necklace

This week has been all about karma for me. This necklace from Dogeared is calling out to me. What about you?

Lunch Box

This lunchbox totally passes the parent test: it's food safe and made from BPA-free and phthalate-free polypropylene and safety tested for lead. The deluxe model comes with containers that stack neatly inside.

See it here.

Teeny Notes

Such good little note ideas found here. Don't buy them--make them yourselves!

*they have kid friendly ones too!

Colored Masking Tape

Isn't this masking tape cool? *um, hello sentence I never thought I'd write.

Found here.

Bean Bag Chair Tutorial

Check out this bean bag tutorial. I hate how expensive beanbags can be, when they're made with pretty inexpensive materials. I'm going to make one for each kid and another for my newborn photo shoots.

Her Morning Elegance

Pura Lopez Peep Toe Pump

These shoes are HOT for Valentines day--super expensive, but hot. All holidays should involve awesome, high heeled shoes.

Make Your Own Font

Here's site that lets you turn your own handwriting into font. I'm going to make one for Blake and call it "Chicken Scratch". Found here.

NO! NO! NO! Old Navy!

Dear Old Navy,

These pants are a crime against nature. No woman should have these on her body. Take them off your site immediately.

By The Order Of The Management Signs

Even more here. Love them!

Paper Parasols

These would be great for decorating (hang from the ceiling, anyone? You never saw it coming) or photo shoots. Maybe in red?

Found here.

While we're on photo shoots, how great would these be for one? Anyone? They're HUGE and I can't get over the perfect circle shape.

Snowstorm

This is as close to a snowstorm as my kids will get in Hawaii. A great alternative to cutting out snowflakes. Maybe next holiday season.

Instructions here.

I also can't stop thinking about these paper cranes. Where to put them?

What? So I really like to hang things from the ceiling. Get over it.
