hello again.

Sometimes a little break is good for the soul.  And sometimes you don't realize it until after you've neglected said somethings for a week.  Just like I did to my sad little blog.  But, I am back.  Hello.  Although I wish I could say I return to you all well-rested after hours of divine pampering.  And confess {brag} that I now have a terrifically clean house and an entire week of gourmet meals prepared.  I'm guessing you would know I was lying and you'd probably also guess that I spent the entire weekend working on Dylan's Halloween costume and that my house is still covered in feathers and felt remnants and I have a crick in my neck from slouching in front of the sewing machine.

You know me so well.

A few questions:

1. Has anyone else broken three (or more!!) iPhones?  Or is it just me?

2.  Have you gotten your mums yet?

3. Ok, so this isn't a question, but I can't resist.  

I shamelessly present to you, the cutest monster costume. Ever.  {Tail and Hat to follow}

4. Can someone please buy me this fabric?

5.  Have you visited P is for Party yet?  My friend, Christi, just unveiled her new blog design and it is fabuloso!  Congrats Christi!

Hope you are having a wonderful day, even if it is a Monday and you have a cracked cell phone.  Did you know that those screen protectors keep the glass shards out of the side of your face?  At least, mine has so far.  

It's my mom's birthday today.  Happy, happy birthday Mom. I love you and am so thankful for you!

xo,

steph

p.s. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow like this.  What do you think?
