Yeah- we are still here

Just a hello! I am all about reading blogs these days, not posting to my own! Lots of babytime, crawling, crafting, and just trying to soak up every moment of this little blue-eyed beauty-- as we approach 9 months on August 6th...we are truly enjoying the ride!

Here's to another YEAR!

Nothing like a little birthday mail to get things a goin' here. I go this Anthropoligie birthday card, complete with birthday candle necklace-- note I wore this necklace friday, saturday, sunday, and today for my non-stop birthday weekend...respect the candle!

Anthro has some great finds and of course all in comfy cozy forgiving jersey cotton. I scored some new items for the work wardrobe.

This evening we are enjoying the Butler/Duke game, and cheering for the under-dawgs...Go Butler

happy birthday to me :)

New Mom excuse

Sat, 6 Mar 2010 15:07:19 -0800

How long do new mommies get to use the "New Mom" excuse for just being forgetful, flakey, or just too busy? I got this uber cute figure from my MIL, thanks, Mom S.! :) Yeah that look about sums up most of my days- we are figuring it out as we go :)

Today I have been taking pictures of my crafts and such around the house... yes creativity is still happening in Amyville :)

Today is Ella's 4 month birthday!

Transition back!

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:14:47 -0800

I remember saying to my crafty pals that my sorry neglected blog wouldn't become the Ella blog (we have snapfish for that) so here is the beginning of the transition back to crafty blog land (with sprinkles of Ella fun!)

Listography Wednesdays....

books we are reading:
Mouse Cookies & More-- a treasury-- Ella's favorite bedtime stories
Lego Star Wars- visual dictionary-- I got this for Ella we look at it every day

bargain find:
Suave professional line- Nexxus Humectant--I use this once/twice a week to offset the use of my "good" hairlines

must see online:
Thanks to AIDAN the BEST vintage wrapper collection
A cool new blog I found- Ali Edwards

Mommy Bootcamp does have its privies...early embarassment opportunities for Ella! like these photos. This is the hat I knit a while back for our little amyville cupcake. Definitely see my Strawberry Shortcake childhood influences
