My mother-in-law just received copies of Claire Crespo's Yummy Fun cookbooks. Long story- but apparently my brother-in-law's girlfriend's mom's friend is her mom's next door neighbor (got that?), and thought my MIL would enjoy cooking them with or for my son. Someday, perhaps- but he is just 14 months old at the moment.

When my friend Amy gets really excited about something she says 'happy, happy, fun, fun!' That's just what I thought when I saw this felt dress ensemble. Not sure if it's actually wearable- though it is super fun.

I booked a couples yoga class for Valentine's this year. My very un-flexible husband is going with it, just because (a gift in itself!).

I'm really needing a pick-me-up after the dreadful news that Domino is folding. I don't know why I am taking it so hard- but for me, this is really signaling that the economy is in awful shape. I know that sounds so stupid, but we have been very fortunate not to have anyone laid off in the family, so this is the event that is making it 'hit home' for me. If I were to choose one magazine to curl up with during any downtime I might have, it would be Domino. I've always hoarded each of my issues and poured over every single page. Why, why, why will magazines like US Weekly and People go on, but my dearest Domino fold?!? This is starting to explain for me why I received two copies of Lucky (last month and this month), even though I don't subscribe. I hate that policy of replacing with another mag, but not given a choice. But I digress...

What's red and white and turquoise all over?! Lots of parties, it seems. I'm loving this color combo and keep seeing it pop up in many places.

I'm going to have to remember to pull out all of the great Americana inspiration that came out with the inauguration around July 4th! I particularly like this 'waving' cupcake flag.

Having been in the stationery industry for years- I've always found it a tough sell to customers to 'do' hearts for any day other then Valentine's. But Brooke's baby shower almost made me catch my breath, it's so awesome. I'm always a sucker for a quiz, too. Head over here to see all the pictures and details.
