peggy ann…it’s not her real name

You guys know I have a crush, right?

No really.  And Cort knows about it. And he approves.

Well sort of.  Mostly because he likes her too.

Yup, I said “her”.

But her name is not really Peggy Ann…that is just her AMAZING shop. Her REAL name is Hannah…and I am all sorts of in love with her.

I met her on twitter, and we were instantly friends.

Then I realized that the girl is CRAFTY.

the Ruthanne Clutch

the sophia handbag

the Kate wallet (named after yours truly!)

And yes, all of the above will be with me at BlogHer in those fabrics!  I can’t wait until they arrive!

But you know, you really should have something cute to pack up your stuff in too…even if you’re not going to a blogging conference.

I mean, even if you’ll be at Target the weekend of BlogHer, you should have a cute handbag!

And oh boy does Hannah have some AWESOME package deals going on!

They are called “conference” specials, but you don’t have to be going to a conference to get in on this deal!

  While I am super geeked for my handbag and clutch, I am MOST excited about my new wallet…perfect for holding all the business cards I am sure to get at BlogHer!

Speaking of BlogHer, I can’t wait to finally meet my crush Hannah!!!

just when i thought i wanted another boy…

You know how Cort and I want to have another baby?

Well all this time I have been saying I would LOVE another boy.  I really, really love being a “boy” mom and giving Eddie a brother just seems like the greatest gift ever.  Especially after seeing my brothers together and knowing their lives would be so different without each other.

But I have a bit of a confession.

When I see stuff like this….

…and oh my God does my uterus twinge for a little girl.

So I try to shake it out of my brain.

A boy is practical.  We have all things boy in this house already.

And then I see this….

ACK!  Cut it out, cute baby girl with the adorable flower on her head!!!

You’re messing up the best laid plans!  The RESPONSIBLE plans!

And then I let myself dream of how cute things like this would be on a chubby baby girl (because let’s face it, I grew them babies BIG)…

Lucky for me, the lovely Kelli owns a little endeavor called Shmoo Wear.

And she is Canadian.  You all know my love of Canadians.

So I might be sort of swoony.

Ahem.

Anyway, Kelli is just starting out, but she will ship to the US because she is AWESOME.

Right now she takes orders from all the pics on her facebook fan page OR you can email her at shmoowear@gmail.com and she will do custom orders too!

I didn’t share her with you for nothing, people?  She the definition of fabulosity.  duh.
