I have just a few minutes and I wanted to share them with you!
We have returned from our weekend getaway to my sister’s house in Kentucky. It was a wonderful, restful and FUN trip. What was NOT fun was that Kentucky actually received a ton of snow while we were there which is totally unfair because I was sort of running away from the snow by going there.
The drive home was pretty treacherous, our typical four hour drive took six and a half, but we are safe at home and last night I slept like a dream. The best night’s sleep I have had in weeks. I am so thankful. (I am also hoping tonight is just as, or nearly as, good!)
While in Kentucky I felt like we prepared for the baby’s arrival some. We have newborns clothes and a wonderfully fitting nursing bra. We may have a baby’s room with beautifully painted walls and nothing else in it but we have clothes! And a nursing bra! I think that’s all we need, right?
My sister spoiled me endlessly and wouldn’t let me do anything. The most I did was order pizza on Sunday night and that was the extent of any work I did. She, on the other hand, in between nursing Trey every three hours, was super woman.
She even made these on Valentine’s Day. (which were to die for.)
The kids helped to decorate them and we learned that Anna is a freakishly good piper.
And an even better cookie eater. (just like her Mom.)
Anyway, we are back home, safe and sound and missing my sister and her family terribly.
In other news:
I’ve written a post over here, I really like it for some reason. (I don’t often say that about things I’ve written) So, feel free to read and also, don’t be shy, feel free to comment, k?
Recently, Ruby and Roja decided to close it’s design doors for a million, trillion different reasons. Because I love designing and I also love to bring in some sort of income, I have started 2 Bird Designs.
I’m excited about this!
And finally, You Capture turns one this week! (how can that be possible?!) So, I’m having a giveaway, everyone who participates will be entered to win Picnik Premium for one year – on me! My way of saying THANK YOU! Just link up on Thursday’s Mr. Linky to be entered. (this week’s challenge: KISSES!)
Now it’s time for bed. Sleep tight, friends.
How have we been doing You Capture for one year already??? It’s a highlight of my week, for sure!
Congrats on the new business venture! I’d love to have you help, but I’m on WordPress. I guess I’ll have to continue to badger my brother (a professional webmaster) for help.
I wish we like mad we’d get more snow…I keep saying what in the heck does D.C. need with 2 feet of snow… D.C. Texas, Arkansas…even Kentucky!!! Send it out west…we’re starving for it.
Wow, I can’t believe that it’s been one year! Unbelivable!!
Would you PLEASE have that baby already. Please?
You look beautiful tonight.
Please?
Anna is the most stylishly accessorized girl EVER. Glad you made it home okay!
PS. I just counted nine accessories in the cookie picture. I love it.
Sounds like a great time. Those cookies look unbelievable! I haven’t found a good sugar cookie recipe since I lost my old one.
Hi Beth!
Congrats on Two Bird Designs! I wish you tons of success!
I see LOVE everywhere. It is enchanting. I am so happy for you… you cannot imagine the height of this happiness! xo!
Those cookies look so good!
I love Picnik, though I just use the free version. I’ll be back to check it out tomorrow!
You are just wonderful and I am so happy for you in so, so many ways.
I agree with Thea, have the baby already, I can’t wait to see him.
2 birds? Amazing and I love what you have done already (I love my new design)
smooches,have a good week and fun baking that baby boy more.
I don’t think you could have gone anywhere to escape the snow! Glad you had a wonderful time with your family and that you made it home safe and sound in all the crazy weather.
Love your designs.
You are totally set with nb clothes and a nursing bra. What more could you need!
I heart you!
And your new design site is so lovely. And, no, I cannot believe You Capture is going to be one!
Nell
And hey, did you know you make me smile? You do!
So, I’m intrigued…what is the brand of this awesome nursing bra? I feel like I keep trying different kinds and falling short on the “well-fitting”. Also, like zero department stores sell nursing bras in my area, so the best I can do is get a good measurement and order online. Boo.
Glad you got home safely and had such a great time with your sis!
I have to say, I LOVE Anna’s fashion sense. She is just to fabulous for words.
I am glad you were a bit pampered this weekend.
Many hugs!!!
Love her fashion sense…and those cookies!
A good nursing bra is the MOST important thing. End of story.
And those cookies? ohmyphysicallord. Yum.
Those cookies look delish! And I can’t believe You Capture is One…wowza, time flies-congrats!
I just got a brand spankin new Canon XSi so I am looking forward to ‘playing’ again on You Capture. Fun Fun!
I’ve been playing around w/ the idea of going back to blogger… and if I decide to do that you’ll be my first stop for designs
You do such great work!
I could eat that icing right out of the tube (pipe?). Yum! And the heart ring your daughter is wearing looks like the perfect cookie-making/eating accessory.
So glad to hear you had a restful weekend and a safe journey home. Your daughter is very beautiful
I just found your blog a few weeks ago and really enjoy it! Congratulations on your new design business! And, thanks for making You Capture; I recently bought a SLR camera and I’ve enjoyed your assignments!
