color challenged

I had to post this picture of Tess and I in the park on Sunday, she was so cute and happy to sit in the grass and stare at the trees. But the funny part of the day is what I am wearing. I had it on almost all day, but when we were walking around our little park that night, Jim asked me if I needed to go shopping because my color combination made him wonder if I couldn't find anything to wear, it made me laugh so hard! Now I can't figure out if I am really color challenged, or if Jim just didn't get my colorful outfit.

her favorite time of day

itty bitty

I love the idea for this little party in new york, Itty Bitty in the City, especially the tiny invitations. I am a total sucker for anything tiny!

fun nursery

I recently happened upon this nursery while searching ohdeedoh and I just about died. Its so funny that it has a yellow crib and bird mobile like ours, but it looks completely different. You can tell the father is a designer for Urban Outfitters & the mother designs apparel for Anthropologie. The mural is especially neat. Anyways, you can find more photos here, enjoy!

all smiles

this smile reminds me of Indiana Jones...

wish I was there...

Did anyone of my San Francisco friends see this in person? I guess they did this to celebrate the famous curvy street's 60th birthday. Awesome.

burpies

I just got this tiny little box in the mail FULL of gifts from my cousin Britt, a nursing cover, blanket, and these cute burp cloths and lots of other fun stuff. The burpies are so cute I almost don't want to let her spit up on them. My cousin is an amazing seamstress, I need to go visit her in Utah and let her teach me everything she knows about sewing.

alphabet banner

This picture just inspired me on how I can hang the Ida Pearle alphabet cards in Tessa's room. I love how this makes them look like colorful banners.

julia child

I don't know if i'll get a chance to see Julie & Julia, but I do want to read Julia Child's autobiography, My Life in France, she was such an interesting woman, and I want to know more about her and her husband's love story, and how he encouraged her. I love that she didn't develop her passion for cooking until her late 30's, which became her life's legacy. It makes you realize that you are never too old to develop a new talent, and reminds you to continue to try new things.

summertime

Today Sara and I went to see 500 days of summer and we loved it. The lead character in the movie is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who I haven't seen since 10 things I hate about you, he's become a really good actor and is so endearing in it. Zooey Deschanel is really cute as always and I loved how her wardrobe consisted only of blue clothes for the entire movie. Oh, and the soundtrack is great too, check it out!

*Tessa did great and slept through the whole Matinee, gotta take advantage of the fact that this little girl is nocturnal right now.
