The Joy of Rediscovery

Lately, I've been finding joy in things I thought I was totally over. Here's a few rediscoveries that have brightened my recent days:

I can't remember the last time I ate a Twix. It's never been on my must-have candy list. Until last week, that is. Someone gave me one (what was she thinking! Do I look like I need a candy bar right now?) So in addition to giving a fat girl a candy bar this person also provided me with my newest pregnancy craving.

Little Voice, Sara Bareilles

Love Song has been over-used in many a chick-flick movie trailer, it's true.

But I forgot how good the rest of the album is.

Navy Eyeliner

I went through a navy eyeliner phase a while back. The other morning, I misplaced my traditional brown eyeliner so I reached for the navy. I forgot how much I like it. It gives a bit of a grunge 80's vibe, without evoking thoughts of leg warmers* and side ponytails.

*Nothing against leg warmers, however. I pulled out an old pair a few months back (yes, I still have leg warmers in my closet) and they're the only thing to help ward off those awesome night time pregnancy leg cramps.

Betsy Johnson Leopard Heart Studs

I have crazy-sensitive ears; so I don't wear earrings all that often. Not to mention I'm always losing them. But recently I found my leopard hearts, and remembered how much I love them. Just the perfect mix of tough and sweet.

Oh, and if you're in the mood to rediscover the candy of your childhood, hop over to oldtimecandy.com. They sell goody boxes by the decade...perfect for Halloween, or your own personal candy stash. Have a great Wednesday! xo

His & Hers

Remember my friend, Gilbert? Well, I made a lady friend for him. Now all the babies I know will have a snazzy new onesie to wear for Halloween.

P.S. I'm working on a free download version for you, just in case you need to ghost-ify anything for Halloween.

Oh, and sorry for the bad photo. Just consider me lazy. :)

Thoughts for Monday

Here are a couple thoughts to get your Monday off to a good start:

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was filled with sleeping in (thanks, Daddy); some great Burmese food and Indian food, and my two favorite guys in the whole world.

Weekend

It's weekend. Finally.

This obviously hasn't been my most stellar blogging week.

And I'm afraid there are more like it in the weeks ahead.

At my checkup yesterday, I was told that it's time to slow down and let go of a few things so Sister can grow as much as possible. I'll still be posting daily, but until I go into labor I'll just be sharing some favorite photos and quotes, and hopefully you'll get a sneak peek of the nursery once it's (almost) done. And don't give up on me...I've got some fun (really fun) guest posts lined up during my stay in the hospital and for a few days after.

I hope you all have a great weekend! And hopefully I'll be back to my normal self soon.

Brothers Bloom

The Brothers Bloom

The best movie I've seen in a reeeally long time.

P.S. I'll be back later with an October inspiration board.
