It's been awhile since we've had one of these worthy of a pic and post.
This one put a smile on my face and I had to share.
Blue sundress, pink striped legwarmers, and pink sandals! I would totally look into the closet and pair these items together.

For My Fellow Paper Lovers
I love stationery. Moreover, I appreciate the time people put into selecting thank you notes, invitations, birthday cards, announcements, and holiday cards. In this day of email, spam, junk email, and text messages, a postage stamped piece of stationery is among my favorite things to receive. It's like a little unexpected surprise gift in your mailbox.
One thing using real paper requires that e-vites, e-cards, and email do not is lots of planning ahead to allow for production and mailing time as well as a considerable investment in a large quantity of stamps. I suppose that could be the reason many people give up and go the cheaper, faster electronic route these days.
So when I heard about Paperless Post, a eco-friendly, cost-effective way to still send a fabulous stationery statement electronically I immediately signed myself up. The site is still in its beta phase but what a wonderful idea! In my opinion certain events and messages should remain on paper but what a lovely alternative!

Happy Birthday to Zooooo!
In Celebration of O's big UNO...
...we went to The Maryland Zoo today. One day she'll catch on that the zoo is less than 5 minutes from home and we always pass it on the way to church---and I'm sure I will dread that day.
But today--everything was new and "Oh wow, baybeeee" and F-U-N.
From her stroller she seem uninterested and unimpressed at first, but when we pulled her out and let her walk about, the whole zoo came alive to and suddenly she got it. She started to do the motions she learned from one of her favorite bedtime books associated with the various animals.
Olivia enjoyed some ice cream, and had an all around good time with Cousin T and Charm City Grandma, Daddy, Mama, and the nanny too!
We didn't leave without a family picture. I can't explain why I am smiling so hard other than I may be subconsciously trying to overcompensate in order to make Olivia smile too?! I'm pretty sure I was yelling "cheeeeeese!"
Oh, well. Other than me--I love this picture. And I just realized that we're all wearing navy.
