orla

i'm a big fan of orla kiely. her prints are so happy and vintage. i'm especially a fan of her bags, and hope to get one as a baby bag. but, i love all her stuff. and it is no surprise that she's based in london. i used one of her lampshades as inspiration for this board.

oh hello

there. it's been awhile. life has been unusually busy for march. but, spring has sprung and it makes everything happier. even when it rains.

i am 19 weeks now.


yes, i had to stand on the coffee table to take this photo. but, it is my cutest mirror. we find out next week what we are having and are very anxious excited. i have a big fear that he/she will hide, so i hope that is not the case.

matt started the workout program p90x a few weeks ago and i now refer to myself as tony horton's widow. it keeps him very busy, but he's enjoying it and i enjoy watching him. i will spare you the 'before' photos we had to take.

i'm almost finished re-decorating our bedroom and i am in love with it.


it is so much more bright and cheery than before and i find myself hanging out in there during the day :)

next up is clearing out the baby's room that is still full of boxes.

today it was rainy and i decided to try and make scones again. my first attempt a few weeks ago did not turn out very well. sharpie gave me the tip on a scone recipe from america's test kitchen. it is 'cream and currant scones' but i can't find the recipe online anywhere. i went without the currants though and just had them plain. they were delicious.


tea and scones made for the perfect rainy day snack.

an inspiration board is in order. i have lots of ideas.
