7 quick takes
1. Web reads. Did you read Anna’s article over at In Honor of Design about Motherhood & the School of Virtue? It’s breathtaking. Or a different Anna’s take on her first child & the attachment parenting approach? Honest and depthful. Or what Anne says about cost-per-wear on clothing purchases. I’m in the cost-per-wear camp. Solid. SweetPea agrees. 2. Babies My sister-in-law and brother welcomed their second boy this week. Our hearts all doubled in size. He is everything perfect about a baby.

We’re planning an East Coast trip to visit Molly & go to the baptism but I am so lucky I get to go for a week visit before then. BabyLoves & me = travel buddies again and we get to go and play with the boys. Can. Not. Wait. Have you watched this short documentary about a local midwife group at HCMC?

And read some of your favs. Did you ever know how Cup of Jo started? Interesantes. Or how Kendra’s day looks? Or how Lindsay’s two year old is so stinking cute. (Now that SweetPea is 2 and one day, she’s looking more and more like a big girl.) Or what kind of donuts you could be baking? Don’t think I didn’t do some zullily shopping and get a donut baking sheet. You tell me. — 2 — Shop for King Sized duvet cover & bedskirt. Let’s be honest. I love to sew. But not things my household actually needs. Remember that I sewed about a dozen little girl skirts? And I’m having a boy? Oh, yes. Back to my sewing list of things for the household.
