I've been craving waffles.

I have yet to give in to my waffle craving, but I found these earrings on the front page of Etsy and thought it was perfect timing for my life.

Too bad my ears aren't pierced, or I just might be one of those weird people who wear food as jewelry.

Aren't they cute? This shop has all sorts of delicious-looking items that I probably shouldn't browse through before dinner. The bananas on top of these waffles are the kicker for me- they even have little seeds!

Dang those Boston Terriers.

Always getting the best of me for being the cutest, snortiest, weirdest dogs out there. Don't tell Kev that this print is going in the baby's room. I'm hoping he just won't notice all the art on her walls.

Or maybe I can convince him that I made it myself.

Words of wisdom

Sometimes you really need a reminder of what's important.

New love

I don't often browse for new blogs because when I think I've found a site I'd like to read each week, it often ends up being a dud. Then I never get around to deleting it from my Google Reader and I'm stuck scrolling over the new posts to get to blogs I actually like.

Woe is me, my life sounds so hard, right?

But this week I stumbled upon a recommended feed for a design-related blog. The couple, Aubrey and Lindsay, live in Toronto which makes me love them even more. You know I'm a Canada freak, right?

Well, if you'd like to read about DIY, Canadian thrifting, a new baby, silly cats and more, then check out their blog here. Another reason I love them is because Lindsay gets a lot of items from IKEA. We were meant to be friends, I just know it.

I always worry about getting mugged at the Weber County Library, but I keep going back..

I checked out 7 books three weeks ago. I'd like to recommend the ones that didn't suck:

Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult
Change of Heart by Jodie Picoult
The Crowning Glory of Calla Lilly Ponder by Rebecca Wells
Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner (so-so)

Also, I purchased Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See and absolutely loved it.

The Jodi Picoult books are kind of emotionally charged, much like the novel by Rebecca Wells. I probably should not have read them while pregnant. Much sad/happy crying occurred. Rebecca Wells also wrote Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood, which I haven't read, but I saw the movie on a bus once.

Lisa See's book was amazing. I could not put it down. I even had dreams about having my feet bound that woke me up freaked out in the night.

I'm happy my thirst to read for fun has start resurfaced. I realized how tired I was getting of watching TV in my spare time instead of curling up with a book. Now that the weather is warming up, I look forward to taking them outside with me under the apple tree. Books make me think so much more than HGTV or reruns of America's Next Top Model.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving up my shows entirely. Just switching gears for a while.
