Modular Mod Dollhouse

Luby gets all the credit for this one. He found it here at a local toy show and surprised me with it a few days after Christmas. I just love all the little chairs and accessories that came with it. It is currently on a bookshelf in our office away from Sam and the cats. I wanted to do a search for it, but couldn’t find the maker anywhere on it. I would love to see the original packaging for this one. Awesome find!

I have a lot of blog reading and writing to catch up on and I don’t even know where to begin. I really appreciate the responses and e-mails from everyone. It really motivated me to to give it another go after my month off.  So many new things on the blogging streets, but I won’t waste your time recycling all this exciting news as I know you all know it all already. Mmmm… OK, I can’t resist… Target is going to carry Orla Kiely starting in February! OK, I promise, just that one! I know I’ve been out of the loop, but it isn’t it SO very exciting?!?

Jenn Ski “Tagged” me last week, so I thought I would start my first post of the year off with a Tag by one of my favorite bloggers.

Rules: Write 6 random things about myself, link the person who tagged you post the rules. Tag six people and link them. Let them know they have been tagged.

1.  I don’t pretend TV isn’t a daily part of my life.  My favorite shows are The Office, Flight of the Concords, Survivor, Lost, Intervention and currently, Confessions of a Teen Idol.

2. I’ve read only one un-baby related book since my son Sam was born 7 months ago and it was Revolutionary Road.

3. I have an awesome dog named Murray, two cats named Puppy and Bigs (Bigs has nothing to do with SATC)

4. My favorite band is Simon and Garfunkel.

5.  I am one the lucky few who loves my job.

6. I think I might be addicted to flavored carbonated water.

Tag, you’re it…

Christmas in no time

I’m so motivated and so excited to do some more work around the house, but the holiday season set us back a little (financially and motivationally speaking), so in the meantime, here are some shots of our tree and light up reindeer.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Samson is almost 6 months old and cuter than ever! We just bought this Bumbo chair, which enables me to have an extra 30 (hands-free) minutes to my day. He’s the best!
