radio silence

... but radio silence for a Good Reason, friends! frogs & snails & puppy-dogs' tails!

we've been busy getting to know this little man. and he's been busy getting to know us.

life is grand.

{cooking} up a storm

ah yes, blogging. i think i've almost forgotten what that is (sorry!).

you see, i've been cooking. cooking up a storm. it's a pretty spectacular recipe, and this bun needs to be in the oven for 9 long months. i'm loving every second, soaking it all up. now, never fear, i'm not going to go all, you know, maternal on you, but i might just go missing every now and again. sporadic is a word i feel comfortable with right now.

and in the meantime, i'll leave you with some very cute things. 

things my paypal account won't thank me for.

but the new addition might!

 wooden blocks

equilateral triangle quilt

cloud mobile

baby bear hat (this one kills me. totally)

{reading} on the bedside table...

the romantics - galt niederhoffer
brilliant. brilliant. it's a contempory great gatsby. i had to read this book after seeing the trailer for the feature movie that's on it's way- thanks sarah!

chez moi - agnes desarthe
fiction about france & food... i couldn't resist!

the elegance of the hedgehog - muriel barbery
after my 50 things post, i'm finally getting around to reading this book... in a word? heavy.

notwithstanding - louis de bernieres
mr de bernieres had my heart ever since the war of don emmanuel's nether parts. i've loved every single book since, and this is his latest.

frederica - georgette heyer
my mother and i have read every single book ever written by this very glamorous woman. this, i think is my favourite...
 
planning a baby? - dr sarah brewer
just quietly, between you & i, ok?!


what's on your bedside table??
