laying in the sunshine today (on my dining room floor)
having a very trying morning with my two year old - and then realizing that hey, he's only two. I found this article online and it helped changed my view today. Sometimes I really need to hear that I'm not the only going through the hard times. Even though logically we know we're not alone, I still need to hear it!
having a nice man tell me I was a brave woman today (for taking my challenging toddler to the grocery store. I told him 'twas not bravery: we just needed to eat!)
A funny quote on happiness: Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel its warmth. From project happiness facebook page.
Some dreamy photographs on this blog.
more photos: journalling baby's size in utero - such a great idea (and fab wardrobe btw)
ten minutes of absolute silence in my house needed to type this!

an impromptu visit to the Vancouver Aquarium yesterday with my boys
sharing a hot-dog and watching the beluga whales at lunch-time
chocolate chip banana muffins
trying a new recipe tonight - African pineapple peanut stew, from the Moosewood At Home Cookbook. (will be serving over couscous)
Jamie's Food Revolution (I love this man - and on an aside note: I love the names of his kiddies too!)
meeting a fresh baby last night!
sleeping in deliciously late this morning (almost 9am! a serious luxury around these parts)
getting a chance to watch Dear Genevieve last night and dreaming of her making over our kitchen!!
walking to the mailbox with my boys and finding this dress from Anthropologie waiting for me!!! Bonus: it fits really well and I love it!! I can see me getting a ton of wear out of it!

finding $10 in my baby ergo carrier
eating Hershey's kisses with caramel inside
my friends bringing home their new baby girl today (and announcing her name finally)
big toothy baby grins and giggles from my little man
finding out another friend is expecting *
building my son his very own mouse house this weekend - inspired by Dear Genevieve. You can see photos of her design here. (I'll post photos of our version once it is completed.)
big fluffy snowflakes falling ever so gently
the promise of sunshine tomorrow
planning a quick drive to the city tomorrow
finding time to work on a new knitting project (play-pants for my little man)
