naptime treat: sunny stripes

it's a ridiculously rainy day here in new england. . . this image makes me feel warm and sunny inside.

i'd like to whip up a canopied lounge area just like this for my george and loo when i retire to florida.  i know what you are thinking and YES they are going to live forever!  obvi.

special shout out to my cousin j who is always sending love and encouragement all the way from alaska. i'm feelin' it.  xoxo

night owls. . . yellow and blue

i worship this room.  

this is definitely going in the 'big girl room' idea pile.  i would love to give c & p a room that they can share that also reflects and celebrates their individual personalities.  and i heart stripes. . . . specifically yellow ones. . . hmmm. . . wheels are turning. . .

 and what about "ella" in these?  {or for c & p's easter basket for that matter. . . }

and do you remember this one?  how perfect for this room.  i'm having such big fun re-discovering these books from my youth.  i hope you are, too!

owl take two. . . in every color!

so i was first introduced to skipping hippos ponchos when a certain shelby visited last fall.  i was smitten from the get-go, fast forward 6 months and we own six of these darn things! (2 are the 'ponchitos' for dollies)  the sick part is that i want more, more, more!

i was thrilled to wake up to PPW today.  yup, you guessed it - perfect poncho weather!  my own lil GTL, i wonder if it's been trademarked yet. . .

anyhoo, p wore her's proudly to stop & shop this morning and i must say she was the envy of all the other kiddos riding shotgun in their carriages.

for those of you thinking they want a poncho but looking for some justification - i'm thinkin' the easter bunny would like to deliver these. . . and they would take up a lot of space in the basket so think of all the money you'll save on chocolate bunnies!

crazy morning. . .

i need a mud room!

at least that's my excuse today for running behind on everything, that and the fact that we are still harboring germs here. . .boo.

anywho, you'll have to wait until naptime for a proper post.  until then join me in my lusting after this mud room.  i can NEVER find my 5 pairs of sunglasses when i need them.  this would help. . .
