DIY:: Paint Chip Wall Calender

Have you ever brought home a bunch of paint chip samples to help you decide on your living rooms new hue, only to then wonder what to do with them once you have decided on a color? I love, love, love this DIY wall calendar from The Journals of Giddy Giddy. You could just rearrange the paint chips each month. Fantastic.

How about you lovely readers, have you seen any fantastic wall calenders lately?

Have a Lovely Green Weekend.

Hello Dear Readers,

How was your week? Was it just me or did it seem to fly by? This weekend Eben and I are going to make his valentines for school. We haven’t completely decided what we are going to make, but we do know that they will include Mad Libs.

Saturday day, while Eben is celebrating the birthday of one of his dear friends, Mr. Sweet Greens and I are going to spend time together having tea at one of our new favorite local bookstores. Then, Saturday night, Mr. Sweet Greens has a special surprise planned for my birthday. I wonder what it could be? Then Sunday morning, 3 of my lovely girlfriends are taking me to a lovely little place called ‘Le Creperie‘ for brunch to celebrate my birthday. My closest friend Jennifer planned the entire surprise, is she a doll, or what?

How about you lovely readers? What does your weekend look like?

The Baby Bunch Makes Organic Cupcake Onesies


If you have a newborn or an infant, then you probably won’t be making Valentine’s for her classmates this year? You won’t be purchasing a sweet treat either. So what can you get your little cupid for Valentine’s Day? How about a box of organic cupcake onesies from The Baby Bunch. Are these ridiculously adorable, or what? The box comes packaged with 4 organic onesies that are rolled to look like cupcakes. Perfectly sweet.
