happy weekend...

I'm just going to admit blogger defeat and accept the fact that I don't have it in me to post the holiday themed loveliness I had planned on posting this week.  Sorry.  It's Christmastime though, so please forgive me promising you wonderful gift guides and then failing to produce them.

You should check out these awesome modern gingerbread houses though.  And, if you really want to know about stuff I find gift worthy, you can take a peak at my Pintrest gift guide page and see lots more gift ideas from very cool peeps while you're there.

Enjoy!  I know it's not much link love, but I couldn't leave you completely link-less, now could I?

Have a great weekend, chickens.  See you back here on Monday.

winter sniffles...

Sorry I've been missing in action; I haven't been feeling very well.  So, forgive me for leaving you post-less yesterday and with only a tiny one today.  My head feels fuzzy.  I'll be back (hopefully with my gift guide) tomorrow.

Wishing you a warm + cozy winters day...

xo,

steph

p.s. French love.

sweet success!

Well friends, the cake was a success!  It was easy to make, a complete hit and totally yummy.  Here are a few pictures of the reveal.  Can you tell how excited I am?  I had a moment of panic when I cut into the cake and thought, "What if it looks terrible!?!"  The last photo is of Dylan and his best bud, Will, enjoying a little huge piece of rainbow heaven.  

I didn't hire a photographer for the party, so I'm going through the photos my sister took (thanks, kate) and some a friend gave me today.  Hopefully, I'll have some more to share! 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  We spent most of Sunday recuperating from the party-mania.  We slept in, ate waffles, played outside and went out to eat.  Somehow, I'm still tired and craving more family laziness today.

xo,

p.s. after a long run of potty-training regression, dylan wore his big boy undies all day yesterday (even when we went out)!  he went to school in them today, too.  i'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping we've reached the beginning of a big milestone and that the second time's a charm!
