I couldn't resist.

Just bought this from the Valeryia Etsy shop. In love.

Hi, I'm having a baby in 6 months and I'm obsessed with online window shopping.

You guys. Seriously. How cute is this?

It's from the Etsy shop buttercupbloom and I love it. All the felted animals are adorable and I love that many of them are gender neutral. So if I had an extra $30 laying around I could still get baby a little something even though I don't know who baby is going to be.

Good movies.

Kev and I both had MLK day off so we went to a matinee. I thoroughly enjoyed "Sherlock Holmes." I'm a big fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and I even took a Holmes class in college. It was a full semester of reading the stories and watching ancient copies of the movies and comparing the two. Easiest class ever. I liked the volumes of stories so much that I bought my own weathered and worn copies as soon as the class concluded.

During the movie, Kev commented that he's really glad Robert Downey Jr. cleaned up his act. Me too. Otherwise we wouldn't have the Holmes movie or Iron Man (so excited that #2 is coming soon!).

Another movie we liked is "Invictus" with Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Kev took me and Sophia to see it while she visited during the Christmas Holidays. Such a great movie. I love when a movie can uplift you with its message- especially when it's based on a true story (like "The Blindside" I think I've mentioned before). Thank you, Nelson Mandela for being a leader in South Africa and helping the nation move past apartheid.

If you get a chance to see some movies in the near-future, check these out. I'm sure they'll be playing soon in $3/$1 theaters. Kev and I are lucky to have a great one down the street from our Pink House. Like we need more incentive to see movies together.

Free is the best option ever.

The DewTour and Verizon Wireless are hosting a FREE Dashboard Confessional concert tomorrow night on downtown 25th Street. Thrilling, I know.

I'm so excited I might pee my pants. That might be a good thing though, since the concert is outdoors. It'll warm me right up!

I'm all about longevity.


Since Kev and I are expecting a baby in August, I've just barely started to look at what we're going to need.

Let me just say- there is a LOT of stuff babies need. I'm scared. The Pink House is going to be bursting at the seams if Kev and I don't get our acts together and organize non-stop for the next 6 months.

Anyway. I browsed IKEA briefly a few weeks ago and fell in love with this idea of a crib. It has 2 levels for baby, which is a very common feature for cribs. I understand it keeps baby from falling out after learning how to stand up and be tall and stuff.

Additionally, this crib converts into a toddler bed when baby no longer needs to sleep behind bars. Awesome. Also, there is an attachment to put under the crib that serves as a drawer you can nudge open and closed with your toe. Probably your baby toe because it's so smooth. I think that's such a great idea for storage.

While I'm not crazy in love with this actual crib, the design is genius. It will save me and Kev money in the long run, and sneaky storage drawers will save my sanity when it comes to organizing the small room baby will share with all of our bookshelves.

Sorry baby, you don't get your own room just yet.
