Thoughts on Mothers’ Day

By 7 Comments

It was my teammates who asked if this year's Mother's Day was my first.I said yes, beaming. BDW  however quickly corrected me and told me it was my second.

By 12 Comments

The things that have come my way for the Friday Fun Finds have all been things that will definitely fill up my folder of stuff that I want to do when DW gets his own room. First was the Nu Dekor Wall Stickers (BDW likes the glow in the dark set) and now my sister in law, Ginger of Manila Fitness gave me Dwell Studio's catalogues for 2009 and 2010, which made me drool at all the cuteness and gorgeousness.  I've seen these online but having the catalogues in front of me just made me crazy.
