    pinterest WIN: the rainbow cupcake!

    you read that right. take two on the rainbow cupcakes was a success. (in case you’re just catching up, I want to do a rainbow/colorful theme for Holden’s first birthday party, which is two weeks away. My first attempt at making Spearmint Baby’s gorgeous rainbow cupcakes was a raging Pinterest…

    what’s in the baby book?

    Holden’s first birthday is two weeks away (tomorrow!), so it’s been my goal to get her baby book into shape. At this point, it’s become more of a baby box, with her baby book inside it. I ordered a Carter’s Keepsake Chest from Amazon. It has a top compartment that…

    best punishment ever?

    So, this mom is my hero. According to a post on buzzfeed, this mom served up a pretty creative and appropriate punishment when she learned her daughter was bullying kids at school because of the way they dressed: she forced her daughter to walk in someone else’s ugly shoes and…

    wrapping up a year

    We’re in the 3-week countdown to Holden’s first birthday, and I’ve come to realize that I’m not just planning a party, I’m essentially wrapping up this entire first year and saying goodbye to my first year of motherhood. She’s officially been a “toddler” for more than two months; she’ll never…

    i’d like to point this out

    Holden has been pointing all over the place lately and I’m loving it. Apparently, research says that pointing is what makes us uniquely human, so that’s at least good to know. But I’m most psyched about our newly found way to communicate with each other. Want your water bottle? Point…

    my house lacks style, pt. 2

    If you’ve been following along, you know I’ve decided that, after three months in our not-new-enough-to-call-it-new-anymore house, it’s time to start decorating. But because I’m me, I have to do it a little bit at at time. The dining room is pretty well taken care of at this point. Recently…

    we’re having a party

    Holden’s first birthday is less than a month away. I’m still going with a bright and colorful first birthday party theme, though I’ve adjusted a bit to be less “rainbow” and more “You are my sunshine,” whatever that means. These puppies hit mailboxes last week: I went the Tiny Prints…

    my house lacks style, pt. 1

    So, we moved into our new house just about three months ago because we were quickly outgrowing our townhouse. Now, while I love our beautiful (bigger, airier) new home, it’s (relatively) new construction and is lacking a bit of character. I was too busy to care at first, but lately…
