101 Things You Should Do...

During a recent shopping trip to Anthropologie, I picked up this book and started thumbing through it while I was waiting in line.  

Their tricky marketing ploy worked.  I loved the book and bought it.  How could I pass it up when it started out like this:  

" The first time you hold your newborn baby in your arms, the road ahead looks endless.  But the reality is that life passes quickly, and that sweet-faced infant will be in your care only a fraction of time.  It is so important to spend your moments with your children well"...

It is perfect if you need some creative FHE ideas or just need fun activities to do with your kids. Here is just a tidbit.. 

101 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO

BEFORE YOUR KIDS LEAVE

HOME is packed with ideas and

advice designed to help parents

prepare their children for life out

in the world, while making sure

that both parents and kids enjoy

every precious moment. From

staging a food fight to serving in

a soup kitchen, from planning a

"tour de neighborhood" bike race

to telling family stories, some suggestions

are fun, some challenging,

and others practical--but all will

inspire parents with ideas for family

time before their kids leave the nest. 

You can find this book at your local Anthropologie (but it may cost you a few outfits more than the $12.99 price) or here.

Project Runway

This season snuck up on me!  I have to say that I don't think anything can live up to the joy of watching past season contestants like Christian, Daniel V. or Santino.  We will see.  Blaine may provide some crazy entertainment.  Some of the designers on this season seam (pun intended)to be very talented.  I have to say though...This won?!?

I like the skirt, but the shirt was not lovely to me.  

I adored this one!  So pretty...even with lettuce & tomatoes!

But this was actually my favorite..

Again, I am hooked!  

I <3 Pretty Dresses!

I am always on the lookout for pretty dresses for myself.  I found this dainty dress at the British shop CabbageandRoses and it hit the mark perfectly!!  I especially love that she is wearing it with Wellies!  

My poor neglected blog!

I haven't forgotten about you.  I am just overwhelmed with dainty things and not sure what to post next!  I guess I will start with this:

I just bought this ADORABLE flower from the louandlee etsy shop found here!  I bought the clip instead of the headband because I truly cannot decide whether I want it or I will give it to the girlie.  I need fancy things for my hair too because I just did this to it...

(And to avoid any confusion, I am not Audrey Tautou.  I just have her haircut)
