bright side sunday: frost & christmas music

there is officially frost on the ground and it's light out at 6 am, thanks daylight savings time. i have always loved this time of year, but now that bean is on his way (just 5 1/2 weeks left!) i am even more excited for the holidays. i was walking through the mall yesterday and christmas music came on...due to these lovely pregnancy hormones i started crying. i guess it was the combination of bean's red/white stripped christmas outfit i had in my hand and the thought of it being his first christmas that pushed me over the edge. t and i can't wait to get our christmas tree and decorate the house for bean. so, as of yesterday i decided we are starting the holidays early this year! christmas music - all. the. time.

here are some things to celebrate this sunday:
34 1/2 weeks and feeling great! (minus not sleeping, killer leg cramps, lower backache & utter exhaustion)

bean's room is DONE! beyond excited and i will be sharing some pictures soon.


these fun finds around the web:
this 2012 watercolor calendar

fun wooden cars (from handmade charlotte)

a combination of two of my favorite things: polka dots & scarfs love this minty color

one more scarf - a true piece of art


and a big congrats to these bloggers on their new additions:
sydney from the day book blog welcomed a baby boy, everett

emily from the day garnish welcomed a baby boy, cullen (new fave blog!)


hope you all had a wonderful weekend! big day this friday with an ultrasound and childbirth classes. that should make for a fun post. xo

bright side sunday

cheers to a productive weekend. don't you love when you can sit down on the couch after a long day and feel accomplished (opposed to when i usually just feel like a bum).

here is what is making me smile as the weekend comes to an end:

it's fall! bring on the mild weather and big chunky sweaters! fingers crossed that i pass my three hour glucose test so i can indulge in these pumpkin cream cheese muffins.

my inspiration for bean's room (thanks, lay baby lay)
i will post pictures as we make progress. right now it's a giant pile of baby gear.

the most beautiful handmade costumes for babies - i mean, really? the mermaid! it's just too much and kind of makes me wish that bean was here for halloween this year... boys can be mermaids, right?

wearing this dress to a party (and not feeling incredible huge, nice!)

this precious organic little mouse onsie - new at magpie lovely. makes me smile.

hope you all have a good week!
