just plain fun

Just what the doctor ordered

March 15, 2011

Beach weekend with girlfriends = silliness, fun, rest, sunshine, food, more food and more silliness. I’ll let the photos do the talking! If I use too many more words, this post will be ridiculously long. And I want to spare you. Because I’m kind like that.

Friday goodies!

March 11, 2011

Oh, I am so excited I can hardly stand it! Mama’s going to the beach!! This little vacation has been a huge light at the end of the tunnel for me. Our long, cold winter has felt even longer and colder with my “morning” sickness. Green is not a color I wear well. Especially on [...]

Happiness is: $15 shoes from Target

March 10, 2011

Look what I found! On sale! Holler. Shopping for clothes is not an option right now. But shoes? Shoes still fit! I’m a sucker for cute flats. I might just keep wearing these after baby is born. You know, with my nursing tanks and yoga pants. Because that would be a look.

Friday goodies!

March 4, 2011

After Wednesday’s “episode” at work, my week has vastly improved. I got to hear the baby’s heartbeat yesterday, which was just bliss. And now it’s the weekend! Or as Small Fry calls it, “stay home mommy daddy days.” I’m really hoping to make serious progress on the nursery (which right now is our guest/storage space [...]

The 2011 no-hate Oscar fashion recap: lovely lavenders

February 28, 2011

Confession: I fell asleep before any of the big awards were given last night. I missed PS 22 singing their hearts out. I loved James Franco’s and Anne Hathaway’s video at the beginning of the show, but I just thought the rest of it was kind of, well, boring. Except for the fashion, of course! [...]

Friday goodies!

February 18, 2011

Why, hello Friday. I thought you’d never get here! It’s been quite a week in our little family, with Small Fry’s first day of “new school,” starting work on the nursery, and a lovely, sunny Valentine’s Day. Here are a few things that made me smile this week: – This beautiful letter from Katherine Stone [...]

Get to know Small Fry

February 15, 2011

I love to read blogs. Especially those written by people I actually know in real life. Like Mandy. Her blog, Harper’s Happenings, is one of my favorites (take a peek — you will fall in love). Sweet Harper is irresistible. And Mandy is just plain hilarious. When she published an interview with Harper recently, I [...]

Friday goodies

January 28, 2011

Small Fry is bouncing off the walls this morning because our Nana is coming to visit! I’m also secretly bouncing off the walls. It’s been way too long since we’ve seen Nana. She’s digging out of the snow and driving all the way here from the mountains. Can’t wait to squeeze her. Here’s what else [...]

Friday goodies

January 21, 2011

Pictured above is one of the things that gets me through winter: a vase of fresh-cut flowers. Tulips are my favorite, and I think it’s serendipitous that they’re in season during the longest, coldest months of the year. Small Fry picked out these orange ones, and they hold center court on our kitchen table amongst [...]

Happiness is: playing Lite Brite

January 12, 2011

Santa brought Small Fry all kinds of fun old-school games for Christmas, like Candy Land, Lite Brite, Memory and Cootie (remember Cootie?). Mama especially enjoys games even though NO ONE will play with me because I tend to get a teensy bit competitive. No one except Small Fry, that is. Sucker.

Friday goodies: why hello 2011

January 7, 2011

Happy new year! I’m late to the party, but with the whirlwind of last weekend’s trip to Chicago, I’m finally settling in to the idea that a new year has arrived. As much as I dread winter (except for snow and fires and buffalo wings on football Sunday), I love the start of a new [...]

Comfort and joy

January 5, 2011

Our Christmas was nothing short of awesome. Small Fry got over her fear of Santa with just one glance under the tree on Christmas morning. She tore into her gifts with a gusto that made this mommy proud. (Unlike last year when she painstakingly carried around wrapped gifts ALL DAY. Mind-boggling.) She had been asking [...]
