Mother's Day with the Tuskas

I've gotten behind on blog updates. Maybe I'll get a chance to go back in time and share what we've been up to. But for now here is a peek into what we did on Mother's Day.

It was a largely uneventful day. Olive and Tyler went to the store to get some things for our big brunch with the Tuskas. They also stopped by a hardware store in north loop to pick up a drywall lift.

June was napping so I had a bit of peaceful time at home.. but ended up sitting around waiting for June to wake up so I could finally join the fun.

By the time I arrive to Brooke and Scott's house the food was ready and everyone was eager to eat.





June was pretty excited about Peanut. For a while his only animal sound was to blow raspberries. Now he's moved on to making somewhat creepy growling sounds.. for every animal. So he kept growling at Peanut.



Then he check on Scott's progress in the kitchen. They have a new oven, too.



I'm not sure what they're doing but I think they have enough syrup.



His faces. They're so good.



Tyler wore graph paper for the occasion.







June was excited by Meadow's cup. At this point Meadow had to head upstairs for a nap. Darn kids having different nap schedules.



Olive requested orange juice in a fancy cup with whipped cream on top. The rest of us (minus the babies), had mimosas.



June spent some solo time rocking in the other room.



And then suddenly ended up in the kitchen with a jar of cookie cutters.



Brooke hung out with June and Olive for a bit while Tyler and I went upstairs with Scott to watch the video he's been working on from a wedding we did a few weeks ago.



While we were upstairs June and Brooke built a train track. June has never played with ours.. it's been put away since he started really playing with stuff. It turns out he built a lot of this track himself.. Brooke assumed we played with ours a lot at home. I was impressed so I took our bin out when we got home. He seems to like it but he and Olive can't manage to play with it at the same time very well.



Happy Mother's Day moms!

friday fancies!

Welcome to my first Friday Fancies post! Starting today I will (hopefully) be telling you each Friday about a few things that have tickled my fancy as of late.

Today I'm sharing with you a few things that have recently caught my eye that would be perfect for Mother's Day. As I am a new momma this is my very first Mother's Day and I would be so pleased to receive any one of these things from my little baby (or.. husband..).


One of these little hand stamped rings with my darling Olive's name printed on it would be wonderful. I think I would enjoy a tiny size and would wear it on my pinky finger. The ring is 1/8 inch wide and has a matte finish - which I love. It comes from Amy Peter's Studio.


Speaking of stamped silver - a save the date with Olive's birthday would be nice! This save the date is from The Silver Diva on etsy.


There are many nest necklaces around on etsy but this one in particular caught my eye because the pearls are Olive. Ideally a nest necklace with a single Olive pearl in the middle would be perfect, don't you think? This necklace is from Sunshine Jewls.


Obviously with a new baby around the focus has been on her rather than my husband & me. The focus is on her clothing, her hygiene, her bedroom - much more than our own. Using this stencil on the wall behind our bed would be a wonderful improvement to the room and freshen it up a bit. I think we would both like it. You can see many more stencils at Royal Design Stencils' etsy shop.


This has nothing to do with being a mommy - I just love these vintage shoes from Lisa Zain.


This nursing top from Replicca is gorgeous. I would love one and I'm sure Olive would, too. :)


A wet bag for dirty cloth diapers and dirty clothes when out and about would be very useful. This one from Monkey Foot Designs is super cute and a great size!


Speaking of bags I've had my eye on these organic snack bags from Bebeloosh Mini for quite a while. I think they would be useful for the entire family - and the environment! :) Happy Earth Day by the way!


And lastly, ohmygoodness, I NEED a red Kitchen Aid mixer. Seriously.

So what do you fancy on this fine Friday?

(Next week I'll have a fine little Friday Fancies image to share so you can share what you fancy, too!)
