Guess I need to shave

Had an awesome morning today. Linnea was in a pretty good mood.  I even managed to put away some laundry while she was in the room. Okay, so some Alien Buddies on the iPad may have been involved… Anyways, we’re on the floor of the living room playing with Duplos and she looks at my legs with this concerned look on her face. There was a bit of stubble on them so I informed her that there was hair on my legs. She turns around and grabs a comb she’d been using on her doll and started combing my leg!

Silly goose.

Linkety links and snooping in houses

It’s almost time to start thinking about Christmas/holiday season stuff. Found a site that has a good list of stocking stuffers for the toddler and preschool set. I especially liked the matchbox cars, train accessories, Piggy Paint, silly straws, wind-up toys and cute band-aids. – Secret Mommy

Watercolors, glue and salt! Sounds like something Linnea would love. Painting is her favorite thing to do. I’m just missing clear glue. Plenty of white glue, but no clear. Easy enough to pick some up. – Sweet Happy Life

Awesome DIY latch board. I think Linnea would have a lot of fun with this. – DomesticEsq

The most organized minivan I have ever seen. I’m rather jealous. – The Castro Family Happynings

And there wasn’t actual snooping, but this weekend we did see some houses that were featured in the area’s Parade of Homes. We found some ideas that I think we’d like to add to our own home. I enjoyed some of the oversized moldings and closet doors. There were also some fabulous bathroom tiling and various built-ins abounded. Also, carpeting was very popular. It did make us wonder if the beige/brown stone bathroom tile is going to look dated in 10/15 years. We like a lot of it, but it’s SO overdone.

Times flies, doesn’t it?

Oh crap, I can’t believe I haven’t posted in a month. Oh wait, yes I can.

Had a fabulous time last night at Craft Night. Bunch of women gathering together to gossip, craft, and have a night free from kids is wonderful. It was going to be monthly, but now that plan is to do every other week. Loving it. And it’s a great way to actually get stuff on Pinterest done! I finally put Linnea’s going home outfit in a shadow box and I like how it turned out.

This Top 35 Most Pinteresting Moms board has some of the funniest women ever to blog. 

I’m still loving my Next Issue app for the iPad.

Also, naps are great.
