as absolutely insane as my twenties have been thusfar, i feel like this decade is the calm before the storm... i can't wait for porches, lemonade, sprinklers, and even more insanity.

a small taste...

of the decorations i made for the february party:

as always, liza was a lovely hostess, and the treats were AMAZING. and PINK. and HEART-SHAPED. wait till you see pictures.

in the meanwhile, feast on the adorable-ness of this tutu-and-tea combo...

before & after.

the kids are alright.

winter blues.

room two-nineteen, you know that i love you, but on days like today...
you make-a me CRAZY.

bagels.

we made bagels. they looked, tasted, and smelled like bagels. GLORIOUS.

i can't wait till i have kids, i can't wait till they're old enough to have sleepovers, and i can't wait until i'm the cool mom who always has the best treats.
