Sebastian is going through a growth spurt. He's been taking 3.5-4 hr naps this week. Whoa. I'm not complaining. I freaking love it! We've had lots of park dates and walks around town. I got in a few good naps too!
We're planning a relaxed weekend here at the DB household. We're dropping into Glasgow on Saturday for a post I'm working on. I'll be able to share it soon!

Here are some things I saw, read, and loved around the internet this week::
+ Dear Girls Above Me is a hilarious website. This guy lives below some girls that he can hear everything they say! Then he lets us know the stuff they say. I've been laughing all week.
+ My husband's native country is Venezuela. Hugo Chavez {Vzla President} died this week. Loads of people have been asking how he feels about it. He found {this} post that sums up exactly how he feels.
+ I love {this} bathing suit. They call them swimming costume's in Scotland. Isn't that a hoot?! It is always hard to find a good plus size bathing suit. I'm in dire need of a new one. Yet, I hate to spend money on myself.
+ I'd like to try and make {these} paper flowers. They'd be a cute addition to my bookcase. Don't you think?
+ 55 gentle ways to take care of yourself. I totally need this. It is part of my 2013 goals and all. I need to look after me.
+ When we buy a home I want my living room to look something like this. Really bright and simple. Yet cozy. I'm kind of in love with the plate wall. I could find all sorts of Victorian plates in all different time periods to decorate my walls. I love it.
+ I need a space saver for Sebastian's room. I love these hanging plant baskets. I think they will be great for stuffed animals and books.
I hope these posts fill your weekend with some reading. I'll see you back here on Monday.

Eric and I have had a conversation about bathing suits with skirts... In short he is not a fan. I think they can be super cute, like the one you have here. I think it's some kind of weird childhood memory/scaring for him.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, those paper flowers would be super cute!!
Just love // kelly
I think the big bathing suit skirts look very 80's. Very...tent-ish. But I like the smaller ones. We big girls need a bit more coverage!
DeleteOkay, that Dear Girls Above Me blog...is that for real?! Pretty funny stuff. And those hanging baskets for your son's room...love it! xoMaddie
ReplyDeleteDid you see he even has a book coming out?! I can't stop laughing.
DeleteI've been wanting to try to make paper flowers too! Let us know if you do and how it works out! And the Girls Above me blog is hilarious - what a funny idea!
ReplyDeleteI'll gather the supplies and see how it goes!
DeleteCan we talk about that Dear Girls Above Me... BEST THING EVER!!! Seriously... I'm dying... and sharing it with my husband because he will LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't wait to share it with my husband too! We went through the whole website together!
DeleteThanks for all the good stuff in this post...hope you don't mind if I repost the 55 gentle ways on my blog?!
ReplyDeleteGo for it Kiersten!
DeleteThat bathing suit is cute! I need one too, but everything is so matronly on me. My problem area is cleavage--way too much here, no matter the bathing suit style. Anyway, I went through and read a lot of your other links. Great stuff! Wish we could meet up for a play date!
ReplyDeleteWe would LOVE a playdate! Sebastian needs some new friends. I fear we've spent too much time just the two of us this winter.
DeleteI think I'll start calling it a "swimsuit costume". It might make the shopping process a bit more fun!!! So happy to find your blog through Falling for Fridays :)

DeleteHi Mary. I found you through your Expats Blog interview. I'm looking forward to reading through your blog and hearing from a fellow expat! Nice to meet you.

He Selena! Welcome!
Deletethanks for your sweet comment, always fun stopping by your space:
ReplyDeleteoh i love the paper flowers...they would be so pretty for spring, also in different colors, if you made them, you may can post how it worked out:), and i really could live in this pretty pastell room! love it! many greetings,noni!
yes for the "swimming costume"!! :-) Love a red bathing suit.
ReplyDeleteI laugh inside anytime someone says swimming costume!
DeleteWhy's that swim suit gotta be plus sized?! I LOVE it. It's looks cute and flirty and does an amazing job of covering the undesirableness that I hate: bikini lines and my tummy.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I've seen those hanging plant wall things before and I really like the idea too. I also love gutter book shelves. I'd love to do both in little man's room sometime.
ReplyDeleteI'm a WVian who also met her Scottish husband online in 2006, even though he was already over here in the US. We're still here in the US, and hub isn't too keen on moving back to Scotland as he fears I will hate it. Maybe one day...
