So sorry...

I have been a bad blogger! Nicholas' parents were in town over the weekend and the guys worked in the yard ALL DAY on Saturday and we did a lot of Mills-playing and eating and just around-the-house stuff! Nicholas was moonlighting Sunday night so Mills and I went over to the Rife's for the annual super bowl party - we had a blast! This week is full of bunko, play dates, bible study, architect meeting, bottles 'n brushes, laundry, painting rocking chairs, odds and ends around the house, and just loving on our favorite little guy. :)

Speaking of which, here is a video of my little sweetheart, except it's sideways {via my cell} and very small...hmm, not sure why...

he is toddling all over the place now, though! And it's the cutest thing ever.

I don't have any other fun news for today...my time has been spent doing all of the aforementioned and trying to decide on possible house plans...

which is no easy fete...

And perusing my dream kitchens...

hey, a girl has got to dream...

for inspiration, right???

{maybe not the blue cabinets, but I love those double stools!}

that could be me...can you see it???

And then in between all that I was having panic attacks about moving...

like major ones.

oh no, i feel nauseous again.

MORE DREAM KITCHENS STAT!!! :)

Wordless Thursday...

No aliteration here, just this sweet face:

We had a fun play date at the children's museum, lunch with Nicholas at MUSC, and then ran eleventy-billion errands today...so this is all I've got tonight, folks! :)

Vday Loves!

How is it February already?!?

I'm actually sad to see January go because Nicholas was on an AWESOME consult month at the VA hospital...we're talking half-day Mondays and off on Fridays...yeah, that's not normal. But it's been sooo nice! {However, I'm sure some of my girlfriends are glad to see January go from a hubby work standpoint - Liz and the MICU and Ashley and night float - yuck!}

Anywho, Valentine's Day is right around the corner so I thought I'd share some fun finds with you!

For the little one on your list, how cute is this wooden teether - perfect for those sweet mouths, of course found on etsy HERE.

I also love the book Guess How Much I Love You, which we got Mills for Valentine's Day last year - there is a precious little gift set with PJs and a stuffed animal at Saks {couldn't copy the picture} - check it out here! There is an infant size, too, just look for it on their site.

.

A-DORABLE shirts for little guys and gals from etsy - either enlarge the pic or go the site so you can read them, and they're cheap, too, with a wide range of sizes!

Last year my mom sent Mills two huge cases of diapers from diapers.com for Valentine's Day...you can never go wrong with something useful like that, too! GREAT gift! :)

this cozy sleeve sure would add cheer to a cup of coffee or tea!

A fun vday gift for a cute couple - these mugs are just too fun not to mention!

Love these Tory Burch slippers! You can find them majorly on sale at nordstrom.com, but the sizes are pretty limited. You could be a festive gal with the pink ones, but I think I would prefer the brown ones myself, which also happen to be on sale at toryburch.com - hint, hint!! ;)

And because I have a major sweet tooth - you can never go wrong with these delicious petit fours from Williams Sonoma. I'm not much of a candy eater, but I love some little baked pretties!!! And anything mini! {ahh, right now I'm dreaming about petit fours from Tiffany's in Columbia...my cola girls I'm so jealous!}

And supposedly these s'mores from Williams Sonoma are supposed to be A-mazing - Mmmmm!!!

And of course you need something festive and pretty to wear while eating this deliciousness...may I suggest the following:

Tibi (totally redeeming themselves after the awful suit post from last week)

But can I please add on an order of this...

Yes, please!!

Any great ideas out there?? Please share the love! :)
