a road trip to duluth 

the last room in the hotel with a bathtub in the middle of the room

one bed 

an almost three year old who if she said it once she said it 100 times: "i want to go home" and "i want my own bed" 

and one of those moments that i am glad i captured

something i read, ate, created #17

i am reading {and loving} this new blog i discovered . . . 

holy crap! i tried a recipe from pinterest and it was actually GOOD! not sure about you, but i have tried lots of stuff from pinterest and let's just say they haven't always been a hit! definitely going to be a repeat this winter!

the picture and the recipe are from here!

whipped up these birthday blowouts this past weekend!
 you can find them here.

flea market find

so my trip to the flea market wasn't very successful but fun nonetheless! H and his pal, Sam, came with me. it's fun to see those two get excited about their finds. they both came home with a banana seat bike! i think H has 4 now! 

i did want to share this flea market idea with you though; one thing you can always count on finding . . . piles and piles of vintage flash cards.  i use them to make cards.

i cut them to fit a business size envelope and then round the two corners so they match. done. easy and inexpensive.
