InstaFriday–2 weeks

I didn’t do InstaFriday,over at Life Rearranged, last week because (as you’ll remember me mentioning yesterday) pregnancy is sucking away my energy to blog.

When you don’t have energy to type, that’s pretty pathetic.

But I have energy today, so I’m going with it! AND with 2 weeks of updates to boot.

Funky Polkadot Giraffe

Had a rad craft night with my friend Kyla to watch our fave, NieNie on 20/20. I was there till like 1am chatting blogging, crafts, spiritual stuff… ya know the usual… and got like nothing done. I’m working on a birthday bunting that may be done in time for my 50th!

sailor dress

My mom saved everything from my childhood. EVERYTHING! Mostly it takes up usable space BUT sometimes we come across a gem. Like this sweet lil’ sailor dress I wore as a sweet lil’ girl. Love that my daughter can wear it.

Amish Friendship Bread

My friend Julie gave me an Amish Friendship Bread starter. Or as my mom calls them, chain letters from house wives. I’m not blessed in the kitchen so I didn’t have all the ingredients and didn’t add things on the proper days but it still turned out YUMMY! I also found out (from a twitter friend) you can freeze the dough it if you want to wait on the baking for a bit.

Philippes in LA

                      LA Gamrment District   LA Gamrment District

We went to LA’s Garment District to find some patches for our new lil’ Trucker Lid. I hate going down there but we always end up having a lot of fun. If you are heading to LA you must try Philippe’s! It’s been there for over 100 years – a sawdust on the floor type place – and their French Dips are delish!

          Meringue Bake ShopMeringue Bake Shop push cake

We went to the Farmer’s Market at the OC Great Park per the suggestion of my friend Kristin at the Meringue Bake Shop. I think it might be our new Sunday after church place. And Kristin’s cupcakes are a-mazing!! If you go, be sure to grab a Push Cake togo for a naptime indulgence the next day.

4th of July ribbon flag

I’m working on some really fun 4th of July crafts! I’ll share next week.

nebulizer

Cy gets to do the nebulizer just like Eli did. Since he’s the perfect child he loves it. So sad but adorable at the same time.

Renaissance Club Sport

I can’t get enough of this picture. This is one of Cora’s signature faces and I want to just smooch all over those cheeks when I see it!.We went to a WAHM lunch at the Renaissance Club Sport. That place is beautiful. And there is a waterfall on the parking structure that is a must for a warm day!

P90X

Hot Hubby would kill me if he knew I posted a picture of him doing P90X. So don’t tell him!

Souplantation

I was one visit away from being the foursquare mayor of Souplantation. But that jerk “Jason W.” must have gone again and I was jilted! Mark my words… I WILL BE MAYOR. fyi – My husband and children think I’ve become an official card carrying member of Crazy Town. Whatever.

 

Don’t forget to go here and enter to win $75 CASH and an Eli’s Lid at this month’s MOMday Morning!!! (brought to you by us, BYOG – Labor and Delivery Gowns & Blessed Nest – organic nursing pillows)

    Oh my goodness, I love that sailor dress!! I have an unhealthy obsession with them. I collected them and wanted to name my daughter Sailor, but that passed. Anywho, sad to miss the crafting night, we’ll have to get together soon!!

      Sailor and Kyler!
      My mom had a sailor dress for me in every size. They are a-dorable!! As soon as Cora Jane is out of this one, it might fit your little sweetie. Let me know if you want to borrow it!
