a view of our couch when i got bored during ramona’s extra long nap.
in case you missed it:
- happy valentine’s day from our family to yours!
- my make-up routine. there’s something for everyone!
and elsewhere on the interwebs:
- a great article: three things i wish i knew before we got married.
- who doesn’t love connie britton?
- omigod, goats yelling like humans. via the lovely anna at door sixteen.
- also hilarious: gale-force portraits. seriously, click through for a laugh.
- currently reading: setting the table, by danny meyer. a must-read for anyone working in the hospitality industry.
shadow puppets. sometimes silly things happen before bed. glad i married my best friend.
in case you missed it:
- i’m having so much fun with jodi’s 52 project. are you participating? send me the link!
- my favorite “base layer” toiletries
- jp and i (and ramona too!) love uncle, a tasty noodle bar in denver.
- i can’t wait to send out our annual valentine’s day cards to friends and family next week.
and other awesome things:
- i love guests posts! here i talk (a lot) about motherhood.
- some girlfriends and i are having a mini grammy party. we’re rooting for our friend neyla, who plays cello and sings for this lovely denver band. cross your fingers she goes home with a grammy (or two!).
- p.s. the chinese new year is on sunday. inspired by chinese new year tradition, i made these envelopes to give little good luck notes to friends.
- it’s not too late to do fun crafts to celebrate valentine’s day on thursday. check out my valentine’s pinterest board for all things hearts.
- i’m inspired by this denver blogger to get our family out of debt. jp and i are on a spending fast. last paycheck alone we had more extra cash than i thought possible to put towards debt — it makes me wonder what the hell we were doing w all that dough before we were being vigilant! (i’ll do a more detailed post later as we get into this more).
happy weekend! i’m working at the populist this weekend and then we have a superbowl sunday party at our friends’ house (we plan on queso and, seriously, a KFC game day bucket or two [must be all those ads on hulu that have convinced me this is a good idea]). i’m looking forward to an impromptu denver blogger meetup next week with the lovely ladies of the following blogs: the reverie blog, you are my fave, and then we saved, the petrichor, and the proper pinwheel. my guess is we’ll have too much fun.
elsewhere on the interweb:
- i love this cute new tumblr of fashionable babies.
- here’s a good source to make YOUR baby more fashionable.
- a cute valentine’s day idea: make someone happy letter via oh joy!
- i’d like to write more down on paper and not just on this blog. here’s a good source for journals.
- my brother always sends me the best articles: can everyone be smart at everything?
- and my friend, ashley, often runs these sorts of articles by me: train a parent, spare a child.
welcome
