in my dreams

Today I spent nap time dreaming of a vacation to a beach in the dead of winter. Too bad we have to buy 3 tickets these days, those prices don't really work in my favor as I put together my plea to the mister. Maybe I will just bake some bread to warm the house up.

one of many sweet moments yesterday when P was entertained by S and S, it was like they were all BFFs.

The Glam

Friends, it is Movie time again! I am sure you all remember when the mister and I had time (B.P.) and we would go see all the Best Picture nominees. Well, we haven't been able to do that since P and, honestly, with 10 Best Picture nominees I don't think we could! Who has that much time? (Or that many babysitters?) We hope to see a few movies between now and the Awards Show on February 27th just so we can follow the opening sequence. (The hosts are Anne Hathaway and James Franco, which I am thrilled about but apparently I am one of the few.)

To the best of my recollection, I have only seen three movies in the theater since the last Oscars; Harry Potter, Twilight's Eclipse, and Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I am kind of embarrassed to write that list but it is the truth. At least Harry got a few nods from the academy.

Looking forward to the red carpet and all that glam that will surround February 27th!

little Favorites

P has been loving this little set of books she got for Christmas, Little Hoot, Little Oink, and Little P. She has had Little P since she was born but since getting these companion books she has found a new love for these sweet 'twisted' stories. Little hoot can't believe his parents make him stay up so late, all Little Oink wants to do is stay clean, and Little P would just like some broccoli for dinner! If you have a little one, these stories by Amy Krouse Rosenthal are fantastic with beautiful images by Jen Corace.

3 is a Magic Number

This sweet song that I first heard on Elizabeth Mitchell's cd, You are my Sunshine, has become our family's *song*. It is a sweet little tune that makes me love our little unit that much more!

Three is a magic number,
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.

The past and the present and the future.
Faith and Hope and Charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three as a magic number.

It takes three legs to make a tri-pod
Or to make a table stand.
It takes three wheels to make a ve-hicle
Called a tricycle.

Every triangle has three corners,
Every triangle has three sides,
No more, no less.
You don't have to guess.
When it's three you can see
It's a magic number.

A man and a woman had a little baby,
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family,
And that's a magic number.

fashion links

A fashionista I am not, but for some reason I think a lot about what I wear; it has to be comfy and toddler friendly, flattering and cute. Every time I think I am set on clothes for a while I get bored with the uniform I have created for myself so I have been looking around for a few ideas to spruce up the dreary cold winter.

What do you think...is the fashion pendulum swinging? Will Skinny jeans be left out in the cold?
I have been eyeing these guys; not exactly bell bottoms but not skinny either.

How many of you shop at Forever 21...I haven't ever shopped there (where have I been?) but I have been looking for a skirt to complete my winter wardrobe and thinking this might be the place to go.

Somewhere in my blog reading I came across this fun blog, I love the graphics and the sweet outfits that I would never wear fully but like to look for ideas.

For the next few days I will stay focused on just staying warm. Happy Friday

Rhythm

Getting back to the *everyday rhythms* after Christmas and New Years has been a bit of a struggle, but it is oh so necessary for this momma and little one. The bread is a good sign that we are on our way back.

Pretty in Pink at the Park

We had the park to ourselves New Year's Day! It was a balmy, cloudy day- great day to be outside.

When I got home and looked through these pictures, I couldn't believe how old P looks. And I love that she was rocking the John Elton glasses all day New Year's Day.

Cheers to 2011
