Fantasy Week: Shopping for me: Gadgets

My fantasy life continues...
A flat screen TV--mostly to clear up space in our new apartment--our living area is long and skinny and we don't have a ton of space between our TV and couch...


The iPhone 4 (or even a 3Gs) we have my parents first generation phones and love them, but no matter how many times I upgrade our software I can't send picture text messages. So for that reason only, a new phone...


The Silhouette Digital Craft cutter and a lifetime supply of paper and vinyl to go with it--I found such cute project ideas, why I like this one--you hook it up to your computer and can use any font or thing you have NO CARTRIDGES--downside is it isn't MAC compatible so I would have to get a PC too.


Photoshop Elements--I really want to get into digital scrapbooking and have found so many templates and things but I would need this program to try it out--not sure if I am ready to bite the bullet, I might try the 30 day download and a free class I found online to see if I like it.

Fantasy Week: Shopping for me

So this stay at home mom thing has left me time to watch TV and search the internet--yeah right--but during naptime or early in the morning what else is a girl to do?--but no money to shop with. So this is my fantasy week--what I would buy if suddenly I become independently wealthy. Today's installment clothes for me.

Boots from Lands End




A collection of stuff from Ann Taylor Loft, of course


This outfit from JCrew--would go great with the boots don't ya think?


This shirt I could actually afford from the Gap--maybe several colors?

2 months!


Dear Elle,
You are two months old, it is hard to believe. We love you so much. You have started to smile and we can't wait for you to laugh. Your dad is so in love with you, sometimes he can't wait for you to wake up because he wants to hold you. We want to take you all sorts of places and have adventures. I love being your mommy!

Being 1 handed...

...because Elle Belle likes to be in my arms...
I have learned to do a bunch of things one handed...get a book and read , grab a snack, answer emails, check facebook and other sites, play scrabble--thank goodness for the iPhone!, find a baby blanket, take a picture
Here is our latest video
