Decor | Pantone tea service

I our home is sorely lacking tea things, so I was pretty excited to discover this Pantone inspired teapot, sugar bowl, and milk jug. They create a nice Mondrian effect, don't you think? Not sure if it's quite my style, but they are pretty amazing, nonetheless.

Mugs, too.

Home | Do rainy days bring out your creative side?

Last night I woke up, probably to blow my nose, sicky that I am, and heard it raining. I'm pretty sure I can thank the inclement weather for giving me a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, Seb and I had planned to play around at a park today, but no rain gear, means no playing at the park in the rain. It was a good morning, though, ending with Seb being so exhausted that all I could do with him was sit him on my lap, plug some headphones into my computer and let him listen to a little She & Him until we could pick Dada up from school. You think I'm joking, but I'm not.

Pandora + She & Him = Seb's favorite music.

All that to say, this was supposed to be an extremely short post featuring a snazzy homemade tea strainer from Trula Kids. If only we could all be so ingenious on rainy days... 

Me? I'm going to take a nap.

Happy Friday!

Home | I didn't know it was Friday

[via]

Yup. I got up this morning and had no idea if it was Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. I guess that's the beauty of a vacation, right? Ha! Well, I'm glad that it is Friday, because that means your weekend is here(!) and maybe you can benefit from this post that is loaded with some inexpensive pampering ideas. My favorites are enjoying a hot drink, reading a book for fun, and enjoying a tv show undisturbed.  Also, I'd like to add burning candles and listening to soft music into the mix. Wishing you a lovely, relaxing Friday evening!

P.S. Baby clothes perfection. My favorite is this one.
