Happy [belated] New Year! I took a bit of a blogging break (which turned in to more of a hibernation) over the holiday partially in anticipation of our new arrival. He’s finally here (4 days late) and we are so in love. I’ll share pics as soon as we get settled and the fog lifts.
A few shots from our holiday:
Ezra experienced his first Christmas parade. We all tripled up on clothes and still froze our mistletoes off. It was 57°. Yes… we’re wimps.
I love this man:
Christmas morning:
This is Ezra’s favorite Christmas song. It’s been part of our bedtime routine for the past couple of nights. It’s the only thing that can get him from trainer to pants to pjs (although we didn’t include any pj shots). Take note of his little choreography during certain parts of the song. He cracks us up!
P.S. Sorry the video quality isn’t that super. We used our phone. Our regular camera was out of battery… again.
For a limited time Kristen at Domestifluff is offering free downloads of her gift wrap and tags.
EZ from creature comforts has shared a cute candle wrap download today on sfgirlbybay.
Kristen at Paper Crave has cute gift tags every year. These are her 2008 version. Fun and festive!
Lisa at That’s Happy created these sweet birdie ornaments. They’d make nice gift tags as well.
Katie Moon is offering a free download of her artwork every day for the next year. (WOW!) Be sure to check in daily so you don’t miss any. Of course if you do you can download a print for only $4.99.
And last but not least, Target has a free Christmas album available to download here.
Enjoy all these free goodies! Happy holidays!
Brad and I were considering a modern rocker we found on Craigslist for the nursery, but we wanted to recover it. The chair has a slight concave molded shape and I’d hate to spend the money to recover it so I wanted to see if/how we could do it ourselves. That’s how I found this recovered egg chair. I’m always so impressed at any DIY upholstery project, but holy cow! (no pun intended) This one takes the cake!
In total they spent about $200. The chair in cowhide sells for $15,038.00!

Too bad there were no instructions. I also want to know how they scored an egg chair for so cheap. Lucky!! Read more about the transformation at Hip and Stingy.
Happy Monday! I created some Modern Home buttons a little while ago. Feel free to grab one. If you need a different size just let me know. (Or if you need tech support putting it up my hubby can help!) Also, I’m finally getting around to creating a blog roll which is a lot harder than it sounds. At one point I had over a hundred design blogs in my reader! Ah! Hopefully I’ll get that up and running in the next few days. If you have a design related blog let me know. I’d love to check it out!
