Fashionably Late?

Ok, so I'm pretty late for a Valentine's Day post, but I don't care.  I was too busy with a newborn to have posted it on time!  I wasn't really expecting to do anything for the "holiday" since we had just had a baby, and I didn't even think we had anyone (read: my mom) to watch both kids.  But it turned out that my mom had that night off, and so we did get to go out to dinner.  Our movie that we were going to go see was, unfortunately, sold out.  So we just came home and watched something at home until we fell asleep.  And earlier in the day my husband surprised me with a dozen cupcakes delivered from a cupcake store (bakery?).  If you know me at all, you'll know that as nice as I think flowers are, cupcakes are a way better surprise to me.  And they had such a variety of flavors.  Delicious!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I hope you all have a wonderfully fun New Year's Eve!  I'm having a pretty low key one myself (being 8 months pregnant doesn't lend itself well to big parties always).  Also, be safe out there!  One of my resolutions is to blog more this coming year, so you'll be hearing more from me! :)

Bunny Napkins

Since tomorrow is Easter, I've been looking around for some decorative ideas for our family gathering.  I came across these bunny napkins on the Martha Stewart website (which honestly, were a little confusing, since they were just diagrams instead of pictures).  But, you don't even need to go there, cause I have the directions and photos here for you!

First, lay out your napkin flat, top side down.

Next, fold in the top and bottom portions like a piece of paper going in an envelope.  It should now be 1/3 of the size.

After that, you'll fold the two corners down the middle, so it looks like this.

Next, you fold up the bottom corners, like this.

The next thing you do is sort fold/roll in the bottom portion of the napkin. (these are going to be the ears)

Flip your napkin over, ears facing up.

Fold up the bottom portion to make a triangle.

Now stand up your napkin, and tuck one of the corners back into the other.  Then stand up and you have your bunny napkin!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I've got some inspiration for those of you looking for something green to wear today to avoid getting pinched.

The first dress can be found here, on the ASOS website.  Very cute and flirty...if it is actually the right weather to wear this where you live.

I'm not sure where this next dress is from, but it just looks so comfy.

Ready For Easter?

How about ordering this Benoît Missolin Miss Fortuna headband, available here.  

I have to say, if I had an extra $360 I'd be tempted to purchase this for my Easter celebrations.  Or maybe Benoît Missolin will want to send me one?
