organic wood teething toy. from Little Alouette bought on etsy. hope my little man loves it as much as I do!
and that's not all. santas having a ball getting your christmas, Ryder Jude.

dot-a-day.

have you noticed I have had a dress order this week? between that and finishing Ryder Jude's sweater for his blessing in a week and a half I have been swamped. and that spent all my free time minus sleep time. like at night. crazy when you cut into night sleeping when you need to find extra time. must be a momma. what I meant to say is that dot-a-day is coming back soon.

todays is hot chocolate with peppermint candy canes in it from walmart for 57 cents a pack. comfort in a cup. sorry no pict. and Ry-ry is smiling now. maybe I can catch one for a dot.

don't tell santa.

momma is getting the palmerboys one of these eyemasks this year. just to go with their collection of capes. gotta accessorize, right?

dot-a-day.

see? snow in the mountains. hope it piles up fast. can't wait to ski-bunny-it-up.

dot-a-day.

just liked it. the golden toaster at USU. where my mom went to church in the 70's. and the best part I took it from my CAR with all my boys inside for a nice afternoon drive drinking rootbeers. well, infiniti SUV. don't own a minivan. never will.

shopping list.

lamp study.

just found a beaut lamp for my side of the bed table. my collection of thrifted lamps? yes, I am proud. don't know what I love more, that they are vintage or CHEAP. and I am such a lamp horder. don't care since you can use them anywhere, right?



so this lamp I spray-painted all the brass glossy black. the shade is anthropologie.


what of the owl do you say? yes. it's a lamp that lights from inside. it is so cute lit. the pict doesn't do it justice.



this is the one. love it.
in love with them all.

dot-a-day.

been thinking about my Graedy Drake. in love with his curls and perfection blondie hair. an it's long, like to his shoulders. hopefully I won't need to cut it until he goes to school. can't believe someone so pretty is all mine. and yes, boys can be pretty at our house. we just don't tell them that. it's called cute. and Grae says it all the time.

dot-a-day.

so daddy asked me why he hasn't been a dot yet. well, today he is. and he did so good.
opened a letter today from the canyons resort in park city with 4 lift passes for this season inside. then I called daddy, which he said he was able to trade out our last 4 passes from last season for this season last week. it was a complete surprise for me. seems like he planned it that way. and I loved it. love you forever, babe.

dot-a-day.

j'dore couture. valentino haute couture. could wear it anywhere. simply divine.

dot-a-day.

snatched up these beauties for Ryder Jude's blessing day. happy little etsy shopping moment today. etsy, I love thee. can't wait to get them in the mail.

dot-a-day.

so this isn't from today, halloween. but I couldn't resist posting. this is Grae on a rained out halloween trick-or-treat that wouldn't wear his thomas the tank engine costume and insisted on riding his bike. love it.

dot-a-day.

so we are busy at our house. and I noticed that we have less and less time to notice the little "joys" in life. so I got to thinking. why not document a moment out of everyday with a picture? and this is picture number one. Naschie so happy running to the car after his preschool. anyone want to do this too? let me know!
