Pouf, you're comfy.

A few years ago, I bought a John Derian pouf that I LOVE and that Allen tolerates. He has made fun of me a million times about how unnecessary a piece of furniture it is, and while I completely disagree with him, I will admit that it didn't get much use.

Until now....it's in the nursery, serving a very, very important purpose--footrest for the glider. :) 


So imagine my excitement this AM when I logged into Overstock.com to see if I could get yet another steal on a seagrass rug for our bedroom...and found these!! 

Anyone need one? The white and yellow are darling....

A remedy for sleep.

I've not been sleeping well, lately. Probably because my brain is going a million miles an hour.

But I've got a remedy, and only half of it comes in the form of a little miracle pill (prescribed and approved by my OB, just before anyone starts getting their undies in a bunch!)...

It's called PureBeech.

On Saturday, Allen and I stopped by Buy Buy Baby (otherwise known as Bye, Bye, Paycheck--- Helllooo, 8 Million Things Your Baby Does  NOT Need But You Will Feel the Need to Buy) to grab a few things that none of you care about, like changing pad covers. When that was over, we hopped next door to Bed, Bath and Beyond to look at fans because it's hotter than hell here and I'm in need of respite.

While there, we were reminded that our smart friend Mere told us to check out the PureBeech line of sheets...she swore they were the most comfy sheets ever and a good deal.

So we did...and we walked out of the store with them.

I washed those puppies, put them on the bed and crawled in. omg. 

THEY. ARE. FABULOUS.

You should probably go right now and get them. When I finally get around to ordering my new Pine Cone Hill bedding, our room is going to be cute AND comfy.

P.S. Apparently, I'm late to the party. So if you don't believe me, check this out: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/boston/best-products/best-product-pure-beech-modal-sheets-073061

My little man has zapped my creativity.

I go to work, come home, get in my bed and go to sleep. Sometimes I eat ice cream for dinner.

Sometimes I hang out with Allen while he eats take out.

(Aside: I'm the worst wife ever.  I haven't made dinner in 2 months. Not kidding. )

Long story short, I've been really good (in my own humble opinion) during my pregnancy in terms of exercising and eating well, so I feel a little entitled to slack off a little in the remaining weeks. Also, this kid has a vice-grip on my sciatic nerve, and ice cream is the only thing that makes this better.

Yes, I do understand that there isn't a direct link between my sciatic nerve and the ice cream I've consumed this week.  But in my mind it helps. So, that's really all that matters, right?

I'm not a total sloth, though...We had half the house painted last week, which meant that last weekend Allen and I tore the rest of it up, rearranged all of the furniture in our bedroom, recovered our headboard, purged about 200 lbs of stuff (which he carried to the Goodwill truck), repainted and wipe-on poly'd 2 new bedside tables AND I stayed out with friends until 12:30 on Saturday night. We also moved several large pieces of furniture around in the guest room. And when I say we, I mean he did. In the middle of the night. Because it HAD. TO. BE. DONE. RIGHT. THEN. OR.  I'D. NEVER. SLEEP.AGAIN.  Completely rational request, right??

I'm sure that's what he was thinking.

All of that to say---I have had a really hard time coming up with anything interesting to blog about.  In fact, I bet no one is even reading this anymore.

But then I was introduced to Awkward Family Photographs.

OMG, this ^&*% is funny.

If you've never visited, then you need to go there RIGHT NOW.

Why?

I'll leave you with this:

(No offense to any readers who may have taken pre-natal photographs with dirty automobile parts while naked.)
