well, i’m pretty much full on Jesse Spano about today’s post. i’ve been excited to share this with you guys since i found out about it back in december and i’m so pumped to finally show you guys the documentary style ad i did with Levi’s® last month in San Francisco! the video is about the Haps, my style, the Levi’s® Curve ID system and how jeans fit into my lifestyle.
last night i headed out with some friends for some dinner, frozen yogurt, and mall wandering. at this point in my life, that is a perfectly acceptable, if not desired, saturday night. we all had so much fun sans kiddos, talking and telling stories about our kiddos, life with kiddos. it was a much needed night out, and we even took it up a notch on the middleschool feeling by trying on large hats and getting scolded for taking photos in forever 21.
it was also the mall i grew up going to and haven’t been back to in forever so it was really strange thinking about all the time i spent there back in the day walking around with my friends scoping out cute boys. literally just walking around and around with an orange julius to look at boys. Harper is never allowed to go to the mall.
by the end of the night, my sweater had shed about a trabillion little fuzzies onto my pink pants and i had furry weird pants. sometimes i’m so fancy it hurts.
yesterday i kept H home from preschool because she was sick the majority of the weekend and her nose has remained a faucet. but we got dressed, she picked out some shoes although we were going nowhere, and asked me to put her hair up on top like mommys. we cooped up in her room and read books, did puzzles, and played store (where she used her typewriter as a register and demanded i pay her for things). every so often she would say “mommy, take a picture of me doing this” which is completely out of the norm for her. i brought up snacks and we played the morning away. sorry for the photo overload, but she was just too much.

this week started off kuckoo bananas. i found myself in a lovely city (san francisco) for an unreasonably short amount of time (like 31 hours from touch down to take off) doing something so cool i had to keep pinching myself (seeing your name after “talent” on a production book isn’t exactly the first thing you think of when you start a baby blog in 2009). it was a whirlwind that i will never forget and likely never stop feeling grateful for. i will share the finished product with you guys pretty much the second i’m informed that it’s done.
SF welcomed me with gorgeous 65 degree sunshine, delicious food and a king size bed that was so comfortable i felt mocked when my alarm went off at 4:30 am on the only morning i was lucky enough to wake up in it’s gloriousness. it also welcomed me with an early monthly gift (most likely from the self produced stress – srsly i had no idea it was even on it’s way) which produced a really fun TP stuff-and-waddle to the corner 711 at 5 in the morning. nothing like a little pre-dawn humiliation to bring your ass back down to earth, no?
sorry male people?
i also got to meet my friend Meg for the first time, after knowing each other for 4 years. we had wine (hi, duh) and ate the most glorious brussel sprout dish ever to grace my mouthparts. i still can’t stop thinking about them. i know, get a life right?
once i was home, there were massive amounts of cuddles. interspersed in those moments of cuddles were moments of a tiny terrorist trying to plot my death. three is an….interesting age. it’s fun, yet, um, challenging. it’s…ok it’s like repeatedly punching yourself in the face and then jamming said face into a vat of nutella. is what it’s like. super painful and then really sweet. over and over.
but then she drew Goofy (seriously do you see that? i can’t even draw Goofy that well). so i mean.
also, beer.
let’s look at a few things i loved on the internet this week:
e tells tales asked her readers to anonymously comment their honest goals for the new year. 420+ comments later. refreshing honesty from lots of people. pretty kick ace.
this skirt Ellen made for Tessa is sew cute (omg see what i did there just then)! i wish i knew how to sew/had a sewing machine.
a valentine exchange – how fun! probably a lot more fun than in 5th grade when i wrote “i hate you” to the other Amanda in my class on her valentine and got in big trouble. i’m guessing.
the pugly pixel always has AMAZING tutorials and goodies for bloggers and this is one i can’t wait to sit down and try.
i met these two lovelyladies in SF also. you should check them out if you never have.
and one of the better videos i’ve seen in the whole Sh*t Blank People Say meme. funny.
