I have been a big Zutano for since Hayden was born. We received some super cute clothes from local boutique stores that were just the adorable. Colorful, not overly cutesy, and super soft. Now Target is carrying a line of their products – “Zutano Blue“. And the prices can’t be beat!!
It’s a classic rockin’ kinda day…

In less than 2 weeks I will be running like a mother… with a bad knee, possible arthritis and a bad IT band. Sigh. Why do I torture myself? I don’t like to run anywhere, for any reason. Nothing short of a burning building with my baby in it would make me sprint for anything. But sometimes you need to step (jog?) out of your comfort zone – even if it’s to realize you like your comfort zone just fine and dandy thank-you-very-much.
Now, just to clarify, this is a 5K. Yes, my marathon running friends, feel free to start making fun of me. I am complaining about running 3 MILES. But, I need to get my old body back, some way, some how. I understand that I am never going to be exactly the same (see boobs, butt and mid-section) but I would like at least to be able to wear a bathing suit without scaring small animals and children. So I am running. Or jogging. Or jogging 2 minutes and walking 3. Let’s not get caught up in the technicalities here. I’m trying. And right now, right here, that is the best I can do. Wish me luck on Mother’s Day!
Get excited!!!! Ok, you don’t have to be AS excited as me, but still I love me some Todd Oldham. And now you can love him too with his new line at Target coming May 20th! Check out the post over at Apartment Therapy for more info…

A few months before the baby was born I bought my husband a Diana mini camera. If you haven’t heard about them, or seen on before, they are pretty cool. You can read more info about them on the Lomography site.
He has taken hundreds of photos (72 1/2 frames fit on one role of film) and just recently he started going through them and vetting out the best ones. What used to be a photo gallery frame wall (of course I didn’t take any before pics, sigh) is now our ever rotating Diana photo wall. Dom painted a nice thick border to keep the wall from becoming an unruly mess of photos and he used these photo clips to align and hang everything. Here are the results:

I am an app maniac. I admit it. I will download any and every app – as long as it’s under $2-3 (or better yet – free!). One of my newest obsessions is Pocket. I am online everyday, for HOURS at a time, and I come across so many cool sites and projects I want to save for later. Up until now I have been emailing myself a link. Well, now I have like, 8 million emails I have sent myself and I can never find what I want. Well, along comes Pocket to the rescue! I can save links, videos and articles for reading and viewing later into Pocket via my computer, iPhone or iPad. Now I have a visually clean way of seeing and organizing everything I want to read later! Yay!

| I learned about the Lowes Creative Ideas website this past weekend and my every waking moment (ok, maybe not EVERY) has been consumed with drooling over/dreaming of all the cool projects they have on the site. The best part is they are labeled by skill level and they also give the estimated cost of the project. Genius.
Here are the projects I am “sure” I will be finishing in the next few months… |
