Lollipop Zen.

I ordered this onesie & it came in the mail yesterday. I can't even tell you how much I love it...I wish my baby could wear it every day.

Opposites.

My dream guy {besides J.} is Carter Oosterhouse from hgtv. He seems so sweet, he's an expert carpenter, I picture him smelling like soap and he has an English Bulldog for a pet....dream.

This weekend, J. was on my case about cleaning up the kitchen counter {one of our ongoing bicker sessions} and I walked into the room while Carter's show was on and thought, "I bet Carter would never yell about the kitchen counter..."

The next day while we were watching Design Star, Carter made a guest appearance, and I told J. of my thought the day before. He just said, "that's ok...sometimes I wish I was married to Kate Hudson. She is so happy and adventurous."

It's amazing how our dream people are the exact opposite of what we have. I guess the grass is always greener. If I was married to someone like Carter, I'd dream of someone who wore a suit everyday to work, and J. would be dreaming of a straight arrow who liked being home.

Weekend.

I'm knee deep in so many projects around here that my head is spinning. I have a busy weekend ahead of me...

Happy Friday.

My Soon To Be Favorite Accessory.

After much searching, I finally settled on a baby bag that I love. I knew I needed the messenger style option, because I can't stand having something on my shoulder when I am feeling flustered. I figured this is a feeling I'll come to know quite well, so I better make myself as comfortable as possible, and be able to throw this bag across my body as I navigate a stroller and potentially crying baby {Eeeeks!}. Plus I love the color and the vibe it gives out with the peace sign. Another bonus is that is wasn't outrageously priced, so if it looks like it was run over by a truck in a year, I won't even care.

Brooks On Vacation.

He enjoyed smelling the cool breeze, just sitting in the grass and hanging out in the Adirondack chairs. We love taking him with us and he has become such an amazing traveler. Everywhere we take him, people comment on him. On multiple occasions I've had people ask if they could just take a picture of him, and he loves the attention. Kids are like magnets towards him...they think he is Stitch from Lilo and Stitch.

We took him with us shopping at Fashion Island, and while I was inside the stores, Brooks drew quite a few girls over to chat with J. In fact, as we were walking to the car, J. told me that if he was ever single again {not likely} that he would just get a french bulldog and hang out at the mall.

I love that dog and all the magic he carries with him.

I Miss The Beach Already...

...well, really I miss the heavenly weather. Somehow being pregnant and at the beach didn't equate to a purely positive experience for me {I felt like a whale}.

Now it's back to the heat, doing loads of laundry and putting things away...I hate this part of traveling.

I also want to wish my amazing friend, Keri, an extremely Happy Birthday.

She is a true blue friend who will show up every time you need her. We met in 7th grade gym class and there hasn't been a day since, that I haven't felt extremely grateful for her friendship. She's one of my favorite people on earth.

Happy Fourth!

I hope everyone enjoys celebrating the fourth of July. Despite the fact that I'm always talking about living in France, and the fact that our economy is at an all time low, I really do love this country. I still get choked up every time I'm dragged to a baseball game, and have to sing the National Anthem.

We are celebrating the 4th in Laguna Beach and will be back next week...I'll post again then.
