reading: The Lovers' Bedside Book. I found it at a thrift store yesterday and despite the odd, or slightly questionable title it's the most adorable book. It's from 1956 (I have a 1959 copy) and it's filled with the cutest and funniest illustrations by Raymond Peynet, who's work in the time was supposed to be a bit naughty. But for a jaded 21st century girl, it's just plain cute.

| the obscenity! :) |
watching: Not much special, just waiting for all the good series to start up again. Did someone say 'Dexter'?
freaking out about: The awesome weather we're supposed to be getting this weekend. Sunny and 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit) , Spring is finally showing her beautiful face.
Frea. king. out. - in a good way!
loving about my kid: His friendliness towards others. He is so generous with his smiles and it just makes me so happy to see him make others happy. Love him!

| playing when papa comes home |
loving about my husband: His handsomeness :). And the fact that he loves coming home to Micha and me at the end of the day and starts playing with Micha straight away.
eating: Homemade hummus. So good, and so easy to make. I don't understand why I ever bought the store made stuff.
struggling with: Finding my passion, besides motherhood. I wish I was that kind of person that knew exactly what they wanted with their lives and worked towards it. There are so many things I would love to do: start up a baking business, work on my photography skills, write a childrens' book with B., really learn how to sew. I just don't know where to start and I'm scared of failure. I really wish I could figure this out.
looking forward too: Seeing my parents in 6(!!) days, after not seeing them since Christmas. They live in Benin, Africa, and they're coming home for six weeks. I can't wait to spend time with them again and celebrate my moms birthday on April 24th. And, lucky me, they'll be here for my birthday on May 2nd, yay!
annoyed with: Our internet, which is horribly slow at the moment. We pay good money for it, so I'm frustrated it isn't working right. Grr...

ReplyDeleteSo scandalous! :)
DeleteYou should definitely try making it, it's so easy!
New reader here. I just wanted to chime in and say that you seem to have a passion for all things domestic. That is pretty awesome considering I would just screw up a tenth of the projects you have mastered. Haha! I get that you want to up your game but you seem as if you're on a good path and have some thoughts in mind. Soon it will just be about making a plan and sticking to it. I lkook forward to seeing you succeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this comment Tracey! You're right, I do have passions and dreams, all I need to do is make them happen.
