Nesting Baby Shower.

Remember this little nugget? Well, here are some pics from her Momma’s baby shower, hosted by yours truly, and my sister, Karen. It was quite a hectic day. We had the shower at 11:00, and a dance recital for E and her cousin Bella at 4:00 (about 40 minutes away.) Nonetheless, we had an amazing time.

Here are the pictures of the lovely Milena’s shower:

Here is the most amazing part of the shower. Remember this post on butterflies? Well, this one decided to stay for the ENTIRE shower. It followed E and Bella wherever they went and even sat in Milena’s hand. It literally gave me goosebumps. I would mark it as one of the most magical moments in my life. I am so happy to know that Neets is with us, and looking down on all of us- particularly on Milena and Olivia that day.

.and then it was time to get the girls ready for dance.

The end.

So Proud.

This morning my husband just finished his first triathlon in 21 years. We are so incredibly proud of him. He has been training for months. We are very fortunate to have amazing friends who also made it out very early on a Sunday morning to support him. The girls were beyond excited to see Daddy approach the finish line, and seeing them gave him the strength to kick it into high gear and make it to the end. What a great accomplishment.

Of course, we commemorated the occasion with a celebratory feast at iHop. “Can I have extra whipped cream on my pancakes, please?”

Trina Turk Pillow Talk.

Pillows on sale! Pillows on sale! Trina Turk has such amazing style. The colors, the patterns, the textures… I could go on forever. If you can’t afford to wear her designs on your back, perhaps you may be able to afford a few for your sofa. Some of these prices are a deal, some are still a bit steep. Nonetheless, residential beauty will cost a little less… (In this case, at least.)

Check them out here. I have this one in our office, and absolutely LOVE it.

Wish they made that in my size.

I am amazed at the abundant selection of clothes out there for my little fashionistas. When I was a little girl there was Carters and Healthtex. That was it. Look at how adorable these outfits are. I may have a tiny case of fashion envy.
