Capture the Everyday: books you’re reading

March 31, 2011

When I saw this week’s Capture the Everyday photo challenge, I wanted to hide my head in the sand. Because, books? I used to be an avid reader. I used to shun the TV to hurry upstairs and read in bed. I used to buy hardcovers because I simply couldn’t wait. Books and I used [...]

Capture the Everyday: something I like to snack on

March 17, 2011

Carbs and I have always had a deep, fruitful relationship. We’re thick as thieves. But this pregnancy has taken our bond to a whole new level. Bland carbs in particular are the only way I can make it through any given day. Bread, pasta, potatoes, crackers, cereal. Even the breading on Bojangles fried chicken. Just [...]

A Christmas miracle

December 21, 2010

I’m going to join throngs of other bloggers writing about one of our own, Jenny Lawson. She is the voice behind The Bloggess and is probably the most hilarious person I’ve ever met in my life (at BlogHer, when I nearly tripped into her lap). Her blog is incredibly popular, and she’s something of a [...]

Handmade Holiday giveaway: the cutest clutch

December 14, 2010

Isn’t this the cutest little bag? And I’m not just saying that because Laura made it. She gave me one for Christmas last year, and I love it. It’s the perfect carry-all for date night, or as is more often the case, to stuff into the diaper bag. My favorite part is the chunky button. [...]

Handmade Holiday giveaway: Sweetpea Prints

December 13, 2010

I love you guys. Without the awesome little community that’s formed here, this blog simply would be floating in space. Thank you for reading. Thank you for tolerating photo after photo after photo of my child. Thank you for your comments. Your love. You’re the best! As a small token of my (immense) appreciation, I’ve [...]

Pear Tree Greetings: holiday giveaway!

November 22, 2010

I am already so excited about Christmas, I can hardly stand it. There. I said it. Yes, I’m one of those people. Seeing the holiday displays at Target in October gave me a secret thrill. And this is the longest I’ve waited to start listening to holiday music. Pity my husband. Seriously. He has to [...]

Smitten with Hot Pink and Sequins

October 7, 2010

I am in love with Hot Pink and Sequins. So it goes without saying that I’m over the moon about this lovely shop becoming a pretty*swell sponsor. Erin, the artist behind Hot Pink and Sequins, uses upcycled and repurposed materials for all of her beautiful jewelry and accessories. She finds interesting cuts of leather and [...]

So long, farewell …

September 26, 2010

Today is one of those days I want to bottle up and keep forever, like Luke’s jar of sunshine on Modern Family. I just peeled myself out of Small Fry’s bed, where I’d put her down for a nap and accidentally left my own drool spot on her orange pillow. Laura’s homemade sweet potato soup [...]

Sweet on sweetpea prints

September 21, 2010

I’m so excited to welcome our newest sponsor, sweetpea prints! And not just because the shop is so freaking adorable. It’s also affordable (bonus), and Liz, the artist behind the shop, is wonderful to work with (double bonus). Her customizable prints range from children’s names to birth announcements to just plain fun illustrations, like the [...]

Pen to Paper Challenge + Giveaway!

September 15, 2010

My third note in the Pen to Paper challenge was a no-brainer. I have a very good friend who is going through a very hard time right now. She lives nearby. We have lunch often. But still. Letters aren’t only for long-distance friends, right? I really hope that my little envelope in her mailbox will [...]

Say hello to Emma Dear!

September 2, 2010

I can hardly believe I’m typing this: pretty*swell has its very first sponsor. HOLLA. Emma Dear Vintage Goods is one of my all-time favorite Etsy shops. I first fell in love with the pillow covers made from repurposed men’s suits, and once I dug into the site (which is PACKED), I discovered all sorts of [...]

Pear-what?

August 23, 2010

Ever since I could hold a pen, I’ve been writing letters. Mom trained us well in the art of thank-you note writing, and I loved being pen-pals with Nana and my Aunt Mary Lou. If I became your friend at summer camp, you were going to get a letter from me in the mail. Same [...]
