…and actually long week. Paul is working a night shift tonight and then he's home for SEVEN days. What?! Bonus time. We don't have much planned except coffee, of course, BBQ, long walks and adding a few more plants to the backyard. Oh, and practicing for my WDS speech. We're almost there! Less than a…

E was up at 5:30 which means she's cat-napping at 7:15. Which means I'm drinking coffee and getting my bearings on the day. Fun stuff on the agenda… We have so much family in town! (Some who haven't yet met Ellerie!) I am getting your flamingos out the door! (thank you so much for your…

my unintentional photo theme this week: books! when I was pulling for this post I noticed that I had a bunch and decided to go with it. we LOVE books. Happy week's end. Paul and I were chatting on Monday about how FAST this year has gone. "Do you think this year has been faster…

getting this post up later that normal. celebrating Mama's yesterday. listening to this little one say "uh-oh" all day long. looking forward to watching the new season of 24 tonight. addicted to this song. downloaded the whole album on impulse. seeing tomatoes on most of my plants. drinking coffee. feeding Ellerie leftover pancakes for breakfast.…

IF IT SEEMS LIKE I AM SHOUTING, IT'S BECAUSE I AM. May 1. We made it. May is a big month for me. Here's what I've got work-wise: The Queen Bee Market starts tomorrow! I'm selling a bunch of RANDOM items. Seriously. So RANDOM. And so RAD. When I quit the stamp making business, I…
