ElliptiGO

Yes Please! Whenever I get to the gym {these days never} I pretty much only go on the elliptical. Once in a while the stair stepper but mostly only the elliptical for cardio. I would love to try the ElliptiGO out. Working out outside is way better than my stinky old gym. Now if it only had a T.V. on it...

Boys...

2 more weeks till I find out what I'm having & I can't get little boy clothing out of my head. It's been a long time since I had baby clothes for a boy- Kaleb's almost 13. There is definitely tons more to choose from these days than there was way back then. Have you ever gone to Gilt Groupe or Zulily? Both sites have tons of fabulous deals {up to 50 -75% off} on top brands for kids & baby.

Poster Love/Retro Poster Competition

How cool are these posters made for this contest over at signalnoise.com . The contest is way over- but I spotted the Az one over at ffffound & I think I love it best. Maybe because it's where I spent 18 years of my life IDK. The New York one is amazing also. You can see all 131 submissions at signalnoise.com . They are all pretty rad.

{I know i'm revealing my age here- but space invaders was my favorite game growing up & I still think atari was the best game console ever made}

Happy New Years!

You know you all will be yelling this at midnight tonight & crossing your fingers that it really will be a happy new year coming our way. This year has been amazing & hard all at the same time. I've watched many of my friends loose a parent- I watched my baby turn 1 learn to walk & talk- watched my little girl turn 2 & gain such a great personality & smarts- had friends who had babies born with difficulties thrive- helped friends get through breakups- watched my son who turned 12 enter junior high & love it- cheered as my husband found a job after a long 2 years of stress- watched friends fall in love- had friends having trouble getting pregnant, get pregnant or adopt a baby- had a niece get married- made a few new married friends- cried for days as I learned one of my best friends from high school past away- watched an amazing friend & her husband take care of 2 amazing kids for a whole year & show unconditional love for them- - entered the best book club ever- created a few new baby items i'm super happy with- got pregnant myself {for the last time}- started enjoying the gym- stopped going to the gym- had the most wonderful intern kilee help me through all my winters shows- got a great new pair of christmas shoes- watched my relationship & my love for my husband grow stronger- & really soooo much more- it would be impossible to sum up everything i'm grateful for in 2010.

Really I do have an amazing family & wonderful extended family & friends- I feel so blessed & truly wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Any New Years Resolution you plan on actually sticking with? One of mine is keeping my part of our room clean. We'll see how I do!

Family picture time at my cousins Christmas day

I'm amazed at how hard it is to get 3 kids to smile & look at the camera all at once & how hard it is for me to remember to look at the camera & not make a funny face while trying to get Ida to smile in the process... 

I like this one better cause you can see our christmas sweater t-shirts- but of course it's fuzzy & kaleb's closing his eyes- ida looking down- my boobs look really weird....

p.s. one day i will get a Christmas card out & the whole family will look amazing- even if I have to photo shop our heads from other photos to do it.

Modern Love/ Chairs

There's a  Magnetic fields song called Reno Dakota that has a line that says " Reno Dakota theres not an iota of kindness in you. You know you enthrall me and yet you don't call me 
It's making me blue, Pantone 292" 


Every time I see or hear the word pantone  I can't help but sing that line. Plus it's a pretty funny song. I'm loving these pantone folding chairs designed by Selab Studios. You can buy them at the  A + R Store online.

Reno Dakota there's not an iota of kindness in you 
You know you enthrall me and yet you don't call me 
It's making me blue, Pantone 292
Reno Dakota I'm reaching my quota of tears for the year
Alas and alack you just don't call me back You have just disappeared
It makes me drink beer
I know you're a recluse, You know that's no excuse. Reno, that's just a ruse
Do not play fast and loose with my heart
Reno Dakota I'm no Nino Rota I don't know the score
Have I annoyed you or is there a boy who Well he's just a whore
I've had him before 
It makes me drink more
