How awesome is this Bamboo Solar-Powered Dollhouse by HAPE?!

It's currently out of stock at EcoMom; but worth checking back for, right?

A Word for Wednesday

 


erisive: contemptuous or mocking; characterized by or expressing derision

As in: I am so tired of hearing the derisive remarks that the political candidates are making about each other--thanks goodness election day is less than a week away!

**This Word for Wednesday is for my cousin, Justin--we heard this word used while watching an episode of Parenthood, and agreed it was a good word, but couldn't quite put our fingers on the definition...

The Bump at 6 Months

For those who have asked--here is the most recent baby bump picture:

My sweet Aunt Susie, sister Cat, cousins Sam and Justin, me, Mom & baby Taylor

 

I think this angle and the white shirt make me look even bigger than I am, but it's not too far off--I feel huge!

Brunch at Fat Hen

Last weekend I made a day-trip to Charleston to see some of my best friends, Austin & Collin, and their brand new baby, Martha Bennett.  Bennett is adorable, and slept most of my visit, (she's only 3 weeks old).

It was a beautiful day, so we ventured out to grab some brunch at Fat Hen, the sister restaurant to Wild Olive, which I reviewed here a few months ago.

Fat Hen is located on Johns Island, and the atmosphere is comfortable and the servers warm and helpful.  We sat on the back porch to catch the cool fall breeze-- Miss Bennett snoozed the whole time.

Austin and Collin indulged in a Sunday morning Bloody Mary, (served in a mason jar and rimmed with Old Bay), and I stuck with water. 

We were all pretty ravenous, so we started with soup; Austin and I had the French Onion and Collin had the Soup du Jour, Tomato Basil with Creme Fraiche.  Both were delicious!

And there ends the pictures...I totally forgot to snap any of the main course, sorry!  I ordered the Fat Hen Burrito--which was huge and delicious.  Austin had the Fried Egg Sandwich, and I believe Collin had the Duck & Apple Sausage Gratin--it was sooo rich, but yummy!

Some other menu items that I might have tried in addition to my burrito and soup, (if I weren't actively trying to not be the largest pregnant woman of all time): Bacon Cheese Grits, Blue Cheese Bacon Cole Slaw, and the Creme Brulee French Toast--next time!

All in all, a wonderful brunch with wonderful company--love Charleston!

My Sweet Muffin

I couldn't resist posting some items I recently bought from one of my new favorite on-line baby/kid stores, My Sweet Muffin.
I found out about this store from one of my favorite blogs, Bluebird Vintage.

And, without further ado, here is what I purchased:

HABA Rotundo Clutching Toy- for nephew Taylor for Christmas

HABA Fabric Ball Miniland

 

Born to Love Waffle Visor Beanie- My absolute favorite thing I have bought for Jones so far!

(Sorry the pic is sideways...couldn't figure out how to turn it...)

Aden Anais Bamboo Muslin Swaddling Wraps- also for Jones

Hope everyone has an amazing Fall weekend!  I have to work all day tomorrow, but am headed to Miyo's for dinner this evening and maybe one last trip to the Fair on Sunday.

XO, Becca
