…in no particular order.
Yesterday I got to meet one of my local Eli’s Lids customers – aka Lid Lover. Once again verifying how awesome my customers actually are. I truly think everyone who buys a Lid is my friend.
Another Lid Lover gave me a few tips about these awesome pattern books. Check out Sew Liberated & Oliver & S. Again confirming people who love Lids are RAD!!
Easter is just about here and you know I love to match. We were going to go with peach and green because of a dress I got Cora Jane at Sam’s Club but now I have a vision of grey polkadots… (maybe with pink accents?) Hoping I won’t have to sew everything to make it happen.
I had an original idea to make a birthday bunting with girl colors on one side and boy colors on the other side. I was telling my friends (Kyla & Jamie) at a craft night last night and they’ve seen it done before. Just goes to show, there is nothing new under the sun!
The children moved the rug diagonally while playing the other day and I really like it. I’m totally feng shui.
I like cake plates sitting on the table. I like them best with cake inside.
I’m on a anti high fructose corn syrup kick. It’s hard to find jam without it.
I’m really thankful for Hot Hubby. I told him (nicely) at the beginning of the week that I would appreciate help cleaning up after dinner. And he has helped every night since. But I’m most especially thankful he puts up with my saving-of-old-container-fetish because it’s filling up a cupboard and I know he hates it.
Anyone with stainless steel pans know how to get off the burned gunk? My mom says to use comet but it seems so harsh. A bit has been coming off into the morning eggs and when the children asked what it was I told them pepper. Subsequently I have been adding real pepper to our eggs so I won’t be lying to them.
This kid is awesome.
He can now do the sign for “more.”
I’m just falling 
and 
in love with him every second!
Every morning I listen to this song…
… you should too. Every word speaks to me (see lyrics here) and it is such a great reminder that we are not alone. While you’re at it, please tell me how they shoot that video. Crazy how their singing is normal speed and they are all moving super fast.
Happy Friday! I’ll be away this weekend on a women’s retreat but I’m going to try to post an AWESOME announcement tomorrow!!! I promise you won’t want to miss it!!!

That is a beautiful rug. They are so hard to find, a nice one, in the right size and price. I actually got mine delivered this afternoon and I love it. I also love your cake plate, my favorite is with cake too

How fun to have it in your house now!! It’s beautiful!! Mine is covered in spots right now, from too many living room snacks. Luckily my mom has a great carpet cleaner so I just clean it every 3 months or so. It’s a pain but it makes me smile every time I look at it 🙂

Hey hey, love this post. I think the diagonal rug is very fung… how do you spell it? The only two things I stick to are no HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) in my jelly/jam or in the kids’ fruit drinks. (I think HFCS is so lame. Regular sugar is so much better. And it IS hard to find products without it!) And I do organic ketchup b/c it costs the same as regular ketchup. And did you read my mind, b/c I’ve already gotten our Easter outfits (doubling as rehearsal outfits) put together and they are based on a black and white polka dot dress that I’ve had for Ellie for over a year. Funny… Love you!

That solidifies my polkadot idea! The pictures will be AWESOME!!! Is your fam coming to easter on Sat at my parents? The more the merrier 🙂

Love this post. I need to do more series of thoughts post. Might free up some space in my brain. Ha! Try Bar Keeper’s Friend on the pots and pans. Works miracles. I used to work at Crate and Barrel and a rep for Cuisinart told me about it. You can get in in the regular old grocery store in the cleaners section. It will take some scrubbing with the “scouring” side of a sponge but it should take it all off.

I got the bar keepers friend and it did it!! I sprinkled it on, made a past and let it set (like it said in the directions) and it peeled right off. Like a dream. AND I used a bit in my sink because the porcelain was dingy and comet wasn’t touching it… sparkling white. How is this stuff not in everyone’s arsenal!?!?
Jaime says
PEPPER! WAHAHAHAHA!!! I love the things we tell our kids. 🙂 Thanks for the blog link-up! Hope you’re having a super-fun weekend!!
