that my daughters will develop a love for photography as much as the hubs & i do.......
that i could get away with wearing knee highs with pretty red shoes.......
that i can get started soon on my goal to give only handmade gifts for xmas this year......
to play some cards with the hubs (and of course win).......
to get some good ol' cat naps in...........
to finally find a lavender plant in this city of mine (everyone is always sold out).....
and to get back to san francisco again one day.
image sourcethis week was an interesting one to say the least. good ol'gisele sure stirred up some chatter here in the mommyhood, i'm getting used to my new laptop (first one i've ever had), i swear my 11 week old is teething (yikes), i'm finally figuring out how to use twitter and yes, i will admit that i even looked up an online twitter dictionary to figure out what the heck people were talking about, and we've received some lovely surprises in the mail.
we love mail in our house. don't you? and before you start thinking i mean email i actually mean snail mail. my daughter and i live for the mail. we love going down to the box in our condo to check to see if the mail has come. the best days are when the buzzer phones up and it's the mail person delivering a parcel. now don't get me wrong, i don't' shop a lot, and this doesn't happen all the time, but lately we have gotten a lot of lovely gifts in the mail and boy oh boy, has it been fun. i promise to tell you a bit more about some of them in the next few weeks.
this weekend i plan on getting caught up on chores..boring, i know, but definitely needed. after our long weekend last week i let a few things slide. i have a weird obsession with keeping on top of the laundry since the baby was born and now i know why it developed. it's a friggin nightmare when i get behind a day. i just can't seem to be able to get caught back up. but besides the usual household fare i'm hoping to get some home made salsa whipped up to go with some yummy hummus and to also bake some lemon blueberry muffins. yum. we've been on the hunt around town for some popsicle holders (the forms you use to make popsicles) because all of a sudden i cannot find them in my tiny apartment. weird. poor mackenzie has been whining for frozen yogurt popsicles for over a week now. any tips anyone?
on a side note i won a prize this week! i am sooo excited. i never win anything. i won a copy of the new book "stitch by stitch" by the talented deborah moebes of whipstitch. yippee! cannot wait to get my sew happy hands on a copy! have any of you signed up for the "sewing buddy project" going on over at whipstitch? deborah has so lovingly arranged a way to match all of us ladies who sign up with a virtual sewing buddy! she's got lots of fun things planned for the project. so far we've been matched up, gotten to know our buddies by doing a special pdf filled with fun questions and our first sewing quiz for prizes! so exciting, i love this kind of stuff. so my partner (dusty you're the best) and i kicked butt and won! woot woot! i totally thought i got all my answers wrong, oh, except for the one about project runway, that i knew, so it was exciting to have gotten them right. thanks for putting this all together deborah - you rock! you can read more about the sewing buddy project here and you can sign up for a buddy of your own here.
what are your plans for the weekend? any of you going to be schlepping through chores like me? any special baking going on in your household? fill me in :)
