here are just a few of the recent reasons i've had to smile, laugh, jump up and down and/or cheer!
new england looks like this right now. the weather is POSITIVELY BEAUTIFUL: crisp, clear and sunny in a way that only autumn can do.

on monday, i held this six pound bundle of joy for about an hour while my older two were at school and my younger two were at my friend's house (thanks, tice). it was so theraputic and i couldn't be happier for the proud parents. congrats, ken and chelsea!
made this wonderful cake for FHE (which was the first legit reason that i could think of since my friend stace put the recipe on her blog. the picture is from her blog; my bundt cake is not that nice. my cake, however, did turn out very yummy! and yes, it's all gone.)
my show starts this sunday!!!! is there a better host than phil? i just don't think so.
daily occurrences or rather bits of crazy that occur in my family on a daily basis. case in point, this is what happens when you wipe your toddler's nose after he's just eaten a gummy worm.
I WON DESIGN MOM'S RANDOM GIVEAWAY!!!! [this is where the jumping up and down screaming fits in]. if you haven't checked her out on my frequent faves' list, you should. aside from wonderful giveaways, she features creative guests, artists, products and ideas. thanks to laina for turning me onto her when i started blogging back in february. thanks to pomegranate inc for the great giveaway. and thanks to design mom for blogging, introducing, connecting and (in the words of lara sorich) "making me famous." [CUE MUSIC as I EXIT STAGE RIGHT]
i won tea towels, apron and tablecloth similar to these. i got to choose my own patterns. i'm so stoked to use my new tablecloth for thanksgiving dinner!!!

The cake looks delicious! I love the fall photo, it looks like one of the best places to live. I tissue of the nose was funny, I've been there. Congrats on the win, how cool is that? I'm with you on the Amazing Race, if I could only watch one show it would be this one. I keep saying I am going to try out, I just need a partner. Are you up for it?

Congrats on your win! You've mentioned your need for a new tablecloth on several occasions to me. Winning it seems so much more fun than buying it!
Congrats on your big win April! It's so neat that you got to choose your own patterns! Enjoy your cool new stuff!
How exciting to win! I love the shot of Evan. He is such a cutie! Only four more days until the Race is on.
Yay You! I'm so glad to know someone who has won a Design Mom giveaway! That one was especially nice!
Love the tissue-stuck-to-a-sticky-face photo! Too funny!
Jaw dropping...you won!? Lucky duck!
Love the cake, I thought, "Wow April's secret talent!" but then you revealed the truth...oh well, I'm sure yours came out better than anything of mine EVER would!
Also love the autumn scenes (whimper, whine, wail..wish I were there!) And LOVE the sticky tissue face!
Congratulations on your win!! I also read that blog but have never entered the contests. Maybe I'll have to start!! :)
Yeah for the amazing race update! I can't wait to watch it! You have a lot to be happy about right now!
laurel - yeah, i can hold my own in the kitchen, but i'm nothing compared to my friend. i'm not a very patient cook, so there's a limit to how fancy i can go. stace, on the other hand, is amazing! i have lots of fond memories of the food she made in our college days. memories.
elizabeth and amber - YEAH! so glad that your race fans too (amanda, i already knew you were). i'm with you elizabeth, amazing race is the ONE show i have to watch each week. did you know they got rid of the non-elimination legs this season? oh, i love talking about this show!
to answer your question, elizabeth, i often dream of going on the race, but my current out of shape body, tendency to get pretty silly while sleep deprived (i.e. make a complete arse of myself) and having to provide babysitting for my kids always bring me back to reality. so no, i don't think i would ever apply. good luck finding that partner.
Congrats on your win! I didn't know they let you choose your own patterns, that was very nice!
p.s. yes, our computer is fixed!
p.p.s. May I download Isaac's pic from here? We didn't have that one. As a new mom, you know I have to have every one!
