I want some really pretty outdoor beverage servers like these but since all the ones on Amazon.com have the worst reviews I think that I will find some huge glass jars and ladles instead. Do you have any other ideas? 

Please grow up to be over 40 and fab (please) (please)

We have had such a great time with this butterfly kit - highly recommend! 

I can't wait for my Paper Mojo order to come! Check out this Little Green Notebook post to see how beautiful the marbled papers look framed. 

I must, absolutely must get a fiddle leaf fig tree (found via Aubrey and Lindsay). 

If we hadn't had made the reclaimed wood headboard we definitely would have made a King Farmhouse Bed. This one from the Bumper Crop is beautiful. 

p.s. I think if I had a beautiful huge fiddle leaf fig tree and the right set of Paper Mojo papers I would be happier - probably. 

etsy and summertime

Imogene's Antlers and these free downloadable paper dolls would be the sweetest gift for a little girl. (Thanks Design Mom and Silly Eagle Books for the idea!)

You should check out Silly Eagle Books because you will really like her! (or I do anyway)

Ava is going to LOVE tracing animal projections - we have been working on the idea of tracing and she is figuring it out - such a smart girl. 

The word from the boss is that we are headed toward a Go Diego Go third birthday party this summer (ugh) so I have been looking for some cute ideas but finding nothing - I am thinking maybe I will just make Ava a rescue pack, have a Diego cake and then just do lots of girly orange and blue. Seriously why can't she just want a cat party like this one - I NEED to make those little cat carrier party favors.

Shop for earrings and this doll and especially this singing bird in a cage at DarlyBird. How cute would an easter basket with things from DarlyBird be?! 

I want to stencil an accent wall with something from here!

Good people SWEAR by the CeraVe line of skincare and it is really affordable. The ladies I know that use it talk about it as if it were a religion. My moisturizer is almost out and I think I am going to pick some up. I love the title of the most popular review of it on Amazon: "more effective than steroids, immune suppressants, or light treatments" ... like a religion.

Finally, I haven't tried it yet but I really needed this advice for removing white heat marks from furniture.

Here are some links I have been meaning to share!

* This is definitely the cutest slideshow ever (found it via designmom). I am now certainly convinced that Ava needs a cute handmade doll for her two year old portraits.

* I have been looking at lots of kids art for Lilly's room. Like, Rachelle Anne Miller Prints - so sweet - kind of a combination of Etsy and Strawberry Shortcake. I also like Trafalgars Square and they are having a very good sale right now. Then Sarah Jane Studios has the cutest little 1930's inspired prints. RKdsign has the sweetest things but I think it really bugs me that none of the kids have mouths.

* These Alouette earrings are so cute and would make the perfect gift for a pregnant lady. And at $18 what a steal.

* Look at this SUPER fun maternity photo shoot my friend had done...what is more amazing how adorable and beautiful the look or that they agreed to wear swimsuits for a maternity photo shoot!

* I have a favorite eyeshadow combination - I was wearing it in this photoshoot - it is Clinique's Color Surge Eyeshadow in Beach / Plum. Why am I telling you this? Because I am out of it! I can't remember ever using up all of an eyeshadow before but the colors and coverage of this are great! Don't you always see eye makeup you like all the time and want to know what people are doing?

* I love this new wooden wedding cake from Melissa & Doug ... I am seeing it in Ava's play kitchen future.

* This Earth Mama body butter is the best I have had in a long time - I need more!
