Kids These Days January 30, 2012 6 Comments

When I first saw this video on swissmiss, I was reminded that kids truly are little sponges. This little lady has absorbed so many brands, ideas and icons at such a young age. And her vocabulary is quite adorable. Maybe everyone should have a five-year-old review their logo before publishing… Source: Adam Ladd via swissmiss

Please Shut Up January 18, 2012 2 Comments

I’ve only had a chance to glance through the latest issue of Rue but I immediately pinned this image from the home tour of Brian Paquette. Don’t you wish you had a stack of those cards to hand out when people get on your nerves? Source: Rue Mag January 2012

Mad Dash December 20, 2011 3 Comments

Oh man, today started off as a rough one. In my rush to put together a cookie plate for the Red Head’s holiday party I knocked over a stack of plates, sending six to the floor and shattering two (Bev, if you’re reading this, I owe you two red plates. I apologize.). Then I attempted [...]

Sometimes I take pictures in the car wash using Instagram. Tell me I’m not the only one? P.S. Congratulations to Jacqueline! You won the Shabby Apple dress giveaway. There’s an email coming your way! Thanks so much to everyone who commented. Source: taken using Instagram at a car wash in Chanhassen, Minnesota

Bat Attack November 16, 2011 1 Comment

The Red Head and I just had a run-in with a bat. Indoors. Thank goodness for the stud and his tennis racquets who handled the situation like a champ. My job was much easier, I just had to wander the house turning on every possible light. That’s team work. Source: Snapped using Instagram

“Golden Tree” by Martin Brooks from Ninian Doff on Vimeo. I think I’ve hit a wall. A wall of tired. So I’m going to wrap up a few loose ends and get some sleep before my best friend (since we were tots at the age of three!) arrives tomorrow. I can’t wait to see her [...]

Well Planted September 22, 2011 2 Comments

I think the stash of jewelry on my dresser would look way cooler resting in a bowl with feet. And my cereal would make for a much brighter morning if it had feet. Oh, can’t you just picture some flowers popping out of that one on the right? I think these little guys are just [...]

Cardboard Safari March 15, 2011 No Comments

Throughout blogland I’ve seen these cardboard taxidermy wall mounts popping up here and there. I always thought they were kind of fun and cute, not necessarily practical, but worth a second glance. Then today I fell onto the motherload of cardboard taxidermy and other goods over at Cardboard Safari. Who knew this place existed? And [...]

The Reaction March 2, 2011 No Comments

This image had me laughing out loud all day today. While I feel bad for the first runner-up on the right, I can’t help but smile when I see the soon-to-be-crowned Miss Teenage America 1962 Mary Fitzpatrick, on the right. What a great moment captured. Source: melisaki
