needing navy

 I have been thinking about painting my TV console navy for a while.  When I saw this buffet makeover on Pencil Shavings I was sold.  Maybe this weekend my TV console will get the makeover it needs.

Beautiful, right?  And while we are on the subject of Pencil Shavings, lets talk about their new fall line of iPhone cases (which are apparently being picked up by Nordstroms).

This beauty has already made its way onto my Christmas/birthday wish list.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy birthday America! We are celebrating tonight by going downtown to listen to the symphony play the 1812 overture and then fireworks over the lake. I had an outfit all ready for Edith but I wanted something for Whitman. I found some printables created by Amanda Jane Jones, printed one out and created a freezer stencil. I love the end result and I think it will be perfect as Olympic wear too!

re-surfacing, maybe.

Life with twins has allowed very little time for internet browsing and/or blog posting.  What little time I have spent online has resulted in finding this skirt, which I am lusting after.  Now if it will only go on sale and if my stomach will only shrink some more...

easy meals

Apparently blogger has changed the posting format since the last time I posted, hopefully this all goes as planned.  I am almost done with pregnancy (hallelujah) and as I have gotten further along and lazier the crock pot and sandwiches have become dinner regulars.  Here are some of my recently discovered pinterest favorites.

 Prosciutto, mozzarella and tomato sandwich.  This one was just a picture so I used it as inspiration.  A baguette, prosciutto slices, fresh mozzarella and tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  

 Hawaiian haystacks, the crock pot version.  I'll be honest this was a little more work than I generally like to put into crock pot meals, but it was good and I swear it still took less time then my other haystack recipe.

Hawaiian meatballs.  This was very good as well, with the exception of using frozen meatballs.  Next time I do this I will either buy better frozen meatballs or make my own.

I am noticing a strong Hawaiian theme...

dria

I saw the DRIA nursing cover on pinterest the other day. I am very intrigued by it. I know many people prefer the covers with the boning in front but I wonder if having two children to nurse having the added coverage will be preferable?

nursery

I am now in the last few weeks of pregnancy. I am still trying to figure out where to hang things on the wall and need to organize bookshelves and closets. Other than that the nursery is done, hallelujah!
