julie&julia.

well, traci just did her own post on the movie 'julie and julia' and inspired me to do my own. while snowed in yesterday, we watched it and i totally loved it...matt not as much. if i had to describe it in one word: delightful. i remember my sisters and i would watch julia on pbs when we were littler...traci does a good julia impersonation. but, here is what the movie inspired me to do-

-try to enjoy cooking more (hopefully matt is not reading this in case that doesn't happen).
-go to paris (not on southwest airlines).
-get a pair of pearls.
-find cute things like julia had in her apartment. and a couch like julia had in her paris apartment!!
-use my old film cameras more.
-get pumps like julia wore in the last scene.
-and i would agree with T...have more dinner parties...or go to more dinner parties :)

watch it.

and i am trying to work on a new board, but i don't really have much inspiration...

in honor of my two lovely nieces, i decided to do a pink room this week. it's kind of a more sophisticated girls room, but i would totally do this. i especially love the 'funny girl' poster in the first photo.

nativity

i really like this nativity scene from pottery barn.


but with the 69 dollar price tag, my little people nativity my mom got for all her grandkids and future grandkids will have a place in my living room this year.



maybe i will look for it on an after christmas sale.
