A little walk...

Yippee...i got all my orders cut and packaged early yesterday so Sophia, Ty and i went for a little walk.  I have been really wanting to lately but have been so busy!  We went down by the lakewalk and stopped to enjoy the rose garden.  We saw a train, and some local wildlife..she wasn't too interested! I hope you all find time to enjoy your summer days they don't last long.

Look at these beautiful plush security blankets for your little one!  Aren't the colors so trendy, and the back looks ultra soft.  You can find them at the Junie None etsy shop.  She used Amy Butlers Gothic Rose in blue, Corriander in clay and Full Moon Polka Dots in orange and slate from the Shoppe.  Nice work!  Get_convo_image.php

Mini first aid...

These minis were created by Blue Stitch books on etsy!  How adorable!  A creative way to keep needful things such as band-aids!   I like the little button pull detail.  A great place to keep anything small from getting lost in the bottom of the purse!

my little garden...



I have always dreamed of having my very own garden.  It seems romantic to plant some seeds and tend to them.  How wonderful to have fresh veggies that you watched grow.  And how rewarding to harvest your side dishes!  My favorite are the snap peas and the beans!   Those garden carrots don't even compare to the store bought variety.  Well i can dream all i want but i don't think i will have a real garden anytime soon.  I don't think my landlord would take too kindly to me tilling up the front yard.  Then again maybe he wouldn't mind, he would have to mow the lawn less.  Maybe i should ask!

I do have my own little garden this year.   Christy gave me this Basil in a Bag from Crate and Barrell for my birthday!  It is growing amazingly fast.  So i guess i will have to rely on the produce section for my fresh veggies this year  However i can look forward to some amazing spaghetti sauce!  Or maybe something else...any suggestions?

I turned the big 3-0 today! I thought I would not enjoy when this day came. But i don't mind. I feel so blessed to have a beautiful little girl and wonderful husband. The day was like any other...except i got a lot of facebook love and lots of calls from friends! I am excited for what the next thirty years hold!

Welcome to the world

She finally made it!  We didn't know if this day would ever come!  We went into the hospital on Sunday evening and Sophia was born on Monday morning at 11.  She was 8 lbs 4 oz and 19.5 inches
long!   We were surprised by her really long dark hair.  The nurses liked brushing her hair all wild so she had daddy's hair do the first day in the hospital!N578889180_423225_5210IMG_0950 IMG_0935IMG_0961 N578889180_423222_3565

On my mind...


On my mind..., originally uploaded by jodyrow.

A few favs this week from flickr. Can you tell what is on my mind? At our appt on monday the dr says we may have some time yet because i haven't progressed any.   But she won't let us go more than a week past our due date! So if nothing happens then we will be induced by the 30th.  I am a bit miserable, i can't really move at all towards the end of the day!  I hope it doesn't go quite that long and we get to meet our little one soon!

More customer creations

I love these headbands that Jenni from Girleegirl designs! She bought a scrap pack from the store and was able to cut at least one headband from each of the fabrics. I am going to have to get a few of these for after the baby is born and i can't find time to do my hair!
