Comic-con and Derek Yaniger

Of course, leave it to me to find low brow tiki art at a nerd fest!
Love Derek Yaniger prints--I got a few small inexpensive ones for my office area.
Comic-con was actually really fun--especially fun to people watch!

How to make a Bamboo Tiki Picture Frame

(Stolen from RoadsideResort.com)

My next project!
Bamboo Tiki Picture Frame

The great part about this, is I have an amazing picture of my grandpa offill from WW11-somewhere in the south pacific right after being patched up after being shot!

This will be the perfect frame for it.

Mommy needs a time-out....well soon anyway!

All mommies need a time-out: Time to be women; time to be alone to shop, read and enjoy time with friends; time to reflect and remember that being a mom doesn't 100% define who we are. I have forgotten about this blog since having a baby and starting the baby blog. This is just a simple post to get me back in the habit of thinking about things I still enjoy and have some tiny moment to myself.

First off I am thinking about going back to the gym on a regular basis.
I NEED it. I am exhausted everyday and as odd as it sounds, working out will actually give me more energy, stamina and make me feel better about myself. That being said-it will help me to be a better mom. I need to remember that taking care of myself is actually good for the baby too!
