weekend roundabout #72

Thumbnail image for weekend roundabout #72

This week my sweet Birdie girl has returned to her true form. I swear last week I thought her third birthday had included some magical demon-child curse. As always, I am reminded that the only constant with a child is constant change. It’s as fickle and fleeting as her favorite toys. Is this true with [...]

you need a little neon in your life

Thumbnail image for you need a little neon in your life

It seems the bland winter days have taken my usual penchant for color and dialed it up a notch. Several notches really, from jewel tone through piping hot to just shy of burning your eyelids! Neon is popping up everywhere, and when it’s done as beautifully as this I’m mightily intrigued. Sketch.Inc is a UK [...]

weekend roundabout #71

I have this strange sense of discombobulation this week. It’s like the lack of routine from the holidays is finally catching up to me, and nothing quite adds up in a day. Does anyone else have this feeling? It’s also the nagging sensation that I have several New Year’s Resolutions sitting in my subconscious just [...]

Thumbnail image for come fly with me: rainbows & clouds for birdie’s birthday

Wow what a wonderful day we had yesterday! Birdie’s birthday spanned 2 weekends this year. I wanted to push her party out past her birthday to gain us a little extra time after Christmas. Between schedules and the influx of gifts, it seemed like a good idea at the time. It had some pros (more [...]

january loves every eskimo

We had almost no snow in December, but suddenly New Year’s Eve brought us snow, blustery winds, and cold. I would rather we’d had that on Christmas Day, not now! But Every Eskimo’s sweet felt friends will feel right at home around here. Perhaps the pocket bears of all colors, with the perfect wintery scarves. [...]

modern alphabets

These days, one of Birdie’s favorite things is noticing letters. Counting them, singing about them, “writing” them in her little glitter notebook with her blueberry scented Smencil. I think it’s contagious, because look at this post. Sheesh, I can’t help myself! Especially when I stumble onto such goodies as these. When she was younger, including [...]

I think I say this too often, but it feels like it’s been a doozy of a week around here! How about you? Our highlight was small but definitely a milestone: yesterday was my wee little girl’s first school picture day! Complete with the painterly background, the packaged photo options, the group shot of her [...]

I’m not one to go all goo goo over random baby animal photos, at least not in public. But these photos are so earnest, and minimal, and well, adorable, I can’t refuse them any longer! Adding one of these cuties to your wall of cool salon style artworks could be just the foil you were [...]

Thumbnail image for hanging around with Frazier & Wing

I’ve got this floaty feeling. One too many sleepless nights in a hotel room last weekend with a wiggly 2 year old. You know the feeling. It’s kinda like a fluttery mobile gently twisting in the breeze. The kind that might help me and said 2 year old fall asleep. Maybe. Frazier & Wing has [...]
