Wishlist Wednesday - Back to School

I finished my MBA about a month before Ish was born. I swore then and there that I was done with school. And I meant it. This week's wish is to go back to school. "What??" Crazy you say?? "Didn't she just say she was done with school??" - ah, but this is different. I want to go to school for fun - there's a difference! Not a structured take-these-courses-get-this-degree kind of thing, more of a "take whatever courses you think sound fun and don't worry about grades or testing" kind of thing.

The first class I would like to take: Photography 101. So that I can learn to use a camera like this:


That would lead me to class #2: Blog and Web Design 101 - so that I can design a cool template for this blog and learn how to do a lot of other cool web-designy things.


Now, all I need is the extra hours in the day and the extra money in my bank account to do it!

Kiss Me, I'm Polish!

Ish loves grandma's stuffed cabbage.

Tomorrow's diaper should be interesting.

Cuter than it looks

We've got a new morning routine that has been working out quite nicely for us - we have Ish sit on the bench in the entry way and we put on his coat/hat. Ish has gotten used to it and sits like a good boy. Sometimes he sings - which is what he is doing in these pictures.

It's not a recognizable song by any means - just a bunch of "ning ning ning nings" - it requires him to scrunch up his face, giving us this look:
As he continues, we get this gem of a face:
Here he is taking a break from singing so that he can zip up daddy's sweatshirt - don't want daddy to get cold!
After zipping up daddy's shirt, he picks up where he left off:But you have to admit - the end result is quite cute!

Wishlist Wednesday - The Swedish Edition

I have become a little obsessed with all things organized. Matt and I have tackled quite a few rooms in the house so far in an effort to better organize our spaces. Our last project (read: when we have so much disposable income laying around that we just HAVE to spend it) will be our kitchen (the last owner didn't exactly have an eye for quality). I like what Ikea has to offer lately - so my wish today is for the time and money to put together a nice little plan like the one here:
So that my kitchen can look like this:
Or this:
Perhaps it would inspire me to cook more (or just cook period!!)

Random Saturday

Is there a better way to start a weekend than by hanging out with your teddy bear in a random cardboard box?

Of course there's always the "hang out under the chairs in the kitchen" option that seems to be a crowd pleaser.



As a last resort, you could always be "normal" and play with your toys on the floor like other children do.


Eh, as long as your cute, you can pretty much get away with anything - Ish is proof of that!
