I love Polyvore, so check out their new widget. News as far as me goes, I've been jogging, which is very painful. Ephraim is in swimming lessons and doing awesome. Jasher still doesn't speak English and Math is starting to eat baby foods. And life sucks. But I try to keep busy.

Gorgeous birthday gift for me, Essentials of Baking. I love cookbooks with pictures! Mmmm make my mouth water. I haven't made any of the recipes myself yet, however, I have tasted some of them and they are quite good. Maybe I will actually learn to cook now.

New found toy, Polyvore. It brings out the paper doll, magazine clipping side of me.

I didn't want to believe it when I heard that Disney's The Princess and the Frog was a beautiful fairy tale for modern times. I mean, it was the frog prince. How do you make that story into something interesting? But that's exactly what it was. It was very beautiful and it was a sweet story. I love love loved it!

I also thought the part with Evangeline was funny. It reminded me of The Lion King when Timon says the fireflies were stuck up in that big blueish black thing. It made me laugh.

I went to Target with Ph this morning on a whim. It was probably a naughty whim since I was supposed to be going somewhere else. I just thought I'd stop by with for a few things. When I got there I noticed they were having a Dr Seuss Story Time for the kids. I thought Ph might like that, so instead of making a quick run to Target, we stayed for two hours. They had stories, treats, and activity pages (which you can print if you check out their site.) The Target employees read to us. Most of them were young adults and who knows how much experience they've had with reading to children. I thought it was really sweet. Ph was really excited when they read Green Eggs and Ham. He just sat in their bean bag chair all chill with his juice box. When it was time to go he walked away with a red balloon and I picked up a red umbrella. It was a lot of fun.

My husband and I really like to go out to book stores for date night. We both adore books. This last time we spent most the night in the kids book section. I'm really excited about my son's birthday present, The Little Engine that Could.

What started out as a simple question turned into a whole the-pixie-shtick-is-crazy frenzy. Now I've got Alligators on the brain. I'm going to say yes to this pull-apart alligator pan from pfaltzgraff.com. They've got a whole lot of other pull-part pans on clearance right now, including butterflies, cars, and even a bunny which would be great for Easter. Hopefully this cupcake pan can make even a lazy mom like me look like a cake whiz.

Its raining again. Rainy days are perfect for a little online window shopping. Time for some classic little boy outfits that are down right adorable. Conveniently enough you can check out these entire outfits at their online stores. Meanwhile, I'll be hiding from the rain under a cozy blanket. And I'll probably have a couple of toddlers crawling and jumping on top of me. Ugh, tgif.

Outfit One - Childrens Place
Outfit Two - Crazy8

I think red is the next color on my mind. Check out the gorgeous shiny juciness of this red jewelry piece by ellejewels on Etsy. I'm feeling a little under the weather, so red is a great pick me up color. Yes, this is a great season for red. Red bracelets, red sweaters, red pears, and tasty red tomato sauce. Mmm.

Trying to get into this whole boy wardrobe thing I decided to bring you some toddler boy style. This is one rocking outfit that I totally dig. Those soft cozy grays look like they'd be perfect for dangerous adventures. At least when they're irritating old ladies with hearing aids they'll be doing it in style.
