mommy and me...

mommy stuff

so i sent out the invitation to the 2010 sewing circus (book club). YAY!! and the first book on the list is

COMMITTED, by Elizabeth Gilbert.

synopsis: A SKEPTIC MAKES PEACE WITH MARRIAGE - which tells the story of the author's efforts to work through all her fears and hesitations about matrimony, after she and her Brazilian sweetheart were unexpectedly "sentenced to wed" by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

i hope the single ladies dont get too bored or jaded by this one.. i thought we'd start out with something that would make us laugh...

currently trying to dig up and read her best known book 2006 memoir (Eat, Pray, Love) before we meet...

i caught a little of the barefoot contessa yesterday in passing and she was putting together a lovely
asian grilled salmon. the marinade was super easy (chopped garlic, olive oil, dijon mustard and soy sauce) so i gave it a whirl tonight and the hubby CLEANED HIS PLATE!!  i love when that happens!!

it was SO flavorful! i served it up with rice and fresh sauteed green beans and matchstick carrots:-)

baby stuff

the munchkin has outgrown these adorable little "olivia" shoes by smaller. we got them at our favorite store Sprout/Seed Factory on Howell Mill. the ladies there are incredible, and smart, and lovely..

while surfing for shoes i ran into this adorable little number.. i wish it came in extra, extra, extra large:-) it's from velvet and tweed (I LOVE THAT NAME) a classic and fun online shop for stylish tots.

i am really feeling the rubber soles on the shoes by "livie and luca"!! these tooties brown and fuschia would go with just about anything... i want these shoes (for the munchkin i mean:-)!

super cute combo from imoga kids
