there are sunflowers growing across the street. so while david was at school, matty and i went over to explore. in the first picture he is actually screaming ‘bee!’ and running away. in the last picture he is running toward me yelling ‘mommy help me!!’. little miss ladybug, on the other hand, sat very still while i took her photo.

oh, martha, you kill me! this ‘no-sew’ scarf is from the holiday martha that i have been drooling over. so, so many fun ideas (and no time to do them all!). but this was easy (took me about 1/2 hour) and affordable (cost about $4). i just bought yarn from michael’s, but wouldn’t THIS be yummy?? You can get her directions HERE.

When we were dating in college, my now-husband waited for me outside my class one day with a beautiful red rose. Everyone filing out before me was waiting to see who the lucky girl was - and it was me! Four years and two kids later, I’m still the lucky girl. 
Winner #114 was…

When my husband and I were dating we decided to go to the coast for the weekend. I left work early and met him at his apartment and we were going to leave from his place. I was standing in the middle of the living room looking around at what needed to be taken out to the car and he came up behind me, wrapped his arms around me and had the ring in his hand and proposed.
He had wanted to do it at the beach, but knew that the ring wasn’t going to fit without being re-sized and he wanted me to wear it that weekend so we packed the car, drove to the jeweler’s, had the ring sized. While we were waiting we called family and friends to tell them.
What was really sweet to me was that he had the ring in his pocket when he had stopped by my office earlier that morning and said it was all he could do not to propose right then and there.
Love this post!

we had a great weekend full of play and making jewelry and refusing to give into sniffles. building puzzles and watching kung fu panda and playing the keyboard. and we even squeezed a date in there. which was awesome! thai food and the new james bond. which was full of action and not enough drama–but i’m not complaining.
and for your monday inspiration you MUST go check out this amazing new coloring book at flip flops and applesauce. love it!!
check back tomorrow for lovebird necklace winners!! happy monday!

thanksgiving definitely gets the short end of the stick. that said, i am ready to put up the christmas tree and cut out snowflakes for the windows. i love christmas! i designed this ornament that would make the perfect gift for a friend, co-worker, teacher or yourself! its reasonably priced at only $22. last day to order for christmas delivery is december 7th. you’ll find this little sweetie under ’something EXTRA’.
i have a construction paper christmas tree with a polariod picture of me from preschool. i have a special ornament from the year steve & i got married and ornaments from the year each boy was born. do you have any meaningful ornaments?

both of the boys have colds so we’ve been taking it easy. well they’ve been taking it easy and i’ve been working in my pajamas–which is a nice change of pace.
yesterday i had to run a few errands. and we had to get out of the house for a bit. (i didn’t wear pajamas out of the house, but i was tempted!) we stopped at a nearby park to play in all the fallen leaves. they don’t look sick, do they?!

on saturday, chrissie and i stumbled onto erika carter’s studio overlooking state street. it is amazing space where she paints and shows other artists’ work. i felt so inspired by her art and her workspace i was giddy. seriously, i was.
what stirs you up and makes you so giddy you have to CREATE something??

Chrissie and I met in Santa Barbara on Saturday for some solid sister time. It.was.wonderful. We always park in the same spot so we can meet up quickly, grab a bench and talk. Then we’ll walk around and shop, grab some lunch and maybe even creme brulee for dessert. It would be fine if there were no Santa Barbara halfway between us. I’d would willingly spread a blanket in an empty parking lot and pull out a picnic lunch just to be with her and talk. But I’m not complaining. Santa Barbara is great. And the creme brulee rocks.
