Spooning

In all my life, I've always been the spoonee, not the spooner. But today, in an effort to get my baby to sleep, I laid on the floor and brought J in close to me. He fit in my nook and I finally felt what it was like to be on the other side...and it feels just as marvelous.

These prints by Petek Design are adorable. The one below now reflects our family of three.

And a chick chick here...

These boxwood giant chickens were part of a real, whimsical wedding featured on MarthaStewartWeddings.com. If I ever get a bigger back yard, I want a pair of chickens just like these guys next to my vegetable garden.

Where you left it

One of the best pieces of advice my father gave me was to put something back in its place after using it. Seems simple. It's coming in more handy now that all of Jackson's things are teeny tiny and sometimes I just need to put that little nail clipper down anywhere at the moment and then days later I'm looking under sofa cushions because I can't find it. Or I throw the small bottle of sunscreen in my huge bag and then it takes forever to find. Dad, I'm trying to take the extra time to put things back in their rightful place. It will save my sanity. Thank you. 

I saw some cute hooks to help me...
