purple jeggings. it’s unfair how little humans can pull off anything.

today marks 3 years since i started this blog. happy birthday blog! kind of unbelievable all that has transpired here, no? what a trip. blogging – who knew?

my only small request for today would be, if you’ve enjoyed yourself here over the course of the past 3 years, would you consider making my day by donating to March of Dimes? it doesn’t have to be much at all – every dollar counts. i know times are tight, but if you have a spare buck or two, i’d be so stoked to see it go towards the babies. simply click here to donate. (and THANK YOU so much in advance!).

hope you guys are finishing up a great weekend. and thanks for being here!

This week.

Posted on | January 20, 2012 | 14 Comments

most of this week was full of the powdery white stuff. which then turned into slippery ice. as of now, we have an ice storm warning and about 250,000 homes without power. come on washington, get it together. you know we’re all a bunch of wussies who get super excited at the prospect of snow and then are done after about 12 hours.

i can’t complain though, because it did mean Scot has been home and we still have our power. so although we are stuck and did run out of wine, we are super lucky. Scot made H a huge pile of snow with a slide and they went to town. i played for a bit and then came inside and did warm things. watching them outside, with lulu hopping around like a bunny around them, made my day.

i am getting a titch of cabin fever though. in fact i just looked up to see i have been watching giada for almost 7 minutes. a new record. also, teeth.

here are a few things i’ve enjoyed this week:

as soon as i can get out of this house i will be gathering supplies to make this paper terrarium. i’ve been wanting to make a succulent one forever, and the printouts over at Chelsey’s blog would be an adorable addition.

Harper’s room was featured on Apartment Therapy!

Harper has 2 pairs of shoes i’d like to try this DIY on.

one of my favorite people Monkeyface Amber showed her face and left her blog for a new one, courtesy laugh. she kicks the ace. love her.

this is not safe for work (or really anywhere but the comfort of your own home with no children around) but if you love bridesmaids with the burning fire of a thousand suns like i do, you’ll enjoy the gag reel. i uglylaughcried.

and this post is a must read for all moms.

have a good weekend, and see you back here sunday for SOS!

sweater: gymboree, thrifted // jeans: gap // boots: carters, thrifted // backpack: mini harajuku for target

last friday H had preschool in the morning and we had a date with Stacy and 2 of her 3 boys to go to the children’s museum afterward. but it was just our luck that the museum was moving and therefor closed, set to reopen in it’s new location the next day. what do you do when you’ve told your 3 year old you’re going to a museum all day and then you can’t? cupcakes.

because toddlers don’t know nor care that cupcakes are totes 2006. oh and? either do their moms.

frosting is frosting. is marshmallow flavored frosting.

pretty sure that sweater is completely ruined from being slathered in chocolate frosting. if you ever need some cheering up, simply sit and watch a couple of kids (or just one if you only happen to have one handy) consume a cupcake. there is nothing not cute or happy about it. if you disagree i will fight you.

that escalated quickly! brick killed a guy with a trident!

besides, cupcakes give you muscles. or they have muscles. who knows really?
