1. Maya asked if when she couldn't sleep, is it ok if she slept on the couch? I asked why and she said cuz my baby dolls keep talking to me in the middle of the night and I can't sleep!
2. Ben serenaded us this morning at the breakfast table. It was really loud. Anyone else not a morning person?
3. I can't tell you how many times I have put back together the tupperware cabinet. I mean, what do you do? It's a pain in the rear to clean up but that 10 minutes of peace while you're cookin dinner...is it worth it?
4. I'd like to make a duvet cover for our bed...first I need a duvet, but I think it'd be so much easier to find fabric rather than a bedding set...then paint, then curtains.....
5. I really could use some girlfriend time...the running to staples to drop off things to copy and the drive-thru starbucks just doesn't cut it.
6. What does one bring to wear in NYC?!!
7. We had our first family bikeride last night! We put the girls in the bike trailer and enjoyed the beautiful evening weather.
8. We also had our first campfire of the summer complete with smores! Maya was on top of the world...although she didn't care much for smores...just marshmallows, and the chocolate...each by themselves.
9.Thinkin we may need to head south soon for a little vaca...shake up the summer a bit.
10. The last three times on our visits to the library they didn't have the books I wanted. Anyone have some good authors to check out similar to Sophie Kinsella and/or Emily Giffin?
oh i love what you did to the photo of maya at the fire. LOVE it. and i really want to get a bike trailer thing that doubles as a jogging stroller. like in a bad way. oh and JENNIFER WEINER!! wonderful. and jane green. total fluff, but great reads. they have like 15-20 books between the two of them so that should tide you over for a little while right? ;)

Girl time? Let me know! I need to finish the layouts I started at your house, hahaha!
Have you read Janet Evanovich? Sooooo funny.

Girl time sounds good! Running to Target alone last Friday night wasn't the answer for me either, but I guess it was better than nothing ;)
I love Sophie Kinsella and haven't found anyone quite as good. But I've been meaning to read some of Jennifer Weiner and Janet E.'s books like Erin and Marie recommended so I think a trip to the library is in order :0)

Take jackets to NYC. It gets windy, especially if you go up the Empire State Building.

I second the recommendation for Jane Green and Jennifer Weiner (or, at least for her book "Good in Bed", which was excellent. I haven't read much else by her.) Another similar author is Marian Keyes. You also might want to try "Shoe Addicts Anonymous" by Beth Harbison and "Austenland" by Shannon Hale. Meg Cabot has some fun books, although I think I like her Young Adult books even more than the books that are geared toward an older audience (That might be because I'm a bit of a dork...I don't know if most mature adults would agree with me). Umm..."Bridget Jone's Diary" and "The Devil Wears Prada".
