Baby Mobile
Baby, baby, baby, baby… this weekend was “pull the trigger” weekend, where we figured out what else we needed to buy and… pulled the trigger. We’ve been SUPER squeamish about buying stuff, and SUPER fortunate to have a lot of new and used stuff given to us. Nonetheless, there were necessary things like a crib mattress and a breast pump that we needed. And as the weeks rolled on, I was getting nervous about not having anywhere for Baby B to sleep! I’ve pretty much…
Baby Shower Exploding Box
Just one more paper crafting post, and then I’ll post about something else. Maybe. Just kidding… I have another one I’m going to write up after this. And then I will post about something else, like my growing belly and how I’m only 5 weeks away from OMGPOP day. I made this exploding box to go with my card for the baby shower last weekend. I’ve made exploding boxes by hand before, painstakingly measuring, cutting and folding. The idea of one came into my head as…
More Layouts and a Card
Baby Shower Card I’m finding it hard to give up this little card that I made last Friday… I made it for a shower I’m attending this weekend, but it turned out so darn cute that I want to keep it all for myself! I used my Silhouette to cut out the pinking sheared circle, inner circles and safety pin shapes. The papers and “so very special” sticker all came from a Crate Paper kit that honestly I bought when there was still a possibility…
Currently
Watching: Scott and I went to Central Cinema last night to see The Fifth Element. I’d never seen the movie before to my recollection… it was great. I love the Central Cinema — local, food, 21+ because they serve drinks, but their seats are SO uncomfortable, especially for a pregnant lady. Reading: Mindful Birthing. I had the realization over Memorial Day weekend that… I’M ONLY 7 WEEKS AWAY! That means that I’m 6 weeks away now, and that is crazy. In that realization, I decided…
Layouts
As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been mixing in some more traditional layouts into my scrapbooking time. I otherwise work on my Project Life album. I’ve been enjoying having both options when I approach my office… making traditional layouts feels like a break from Project Life, and vice versa when I switch back. I’m also finding that the design aspects of traditional layouts are bleeding into my Project Life quite a bit. Without further ado, here are the layouts I’ve done over the…
End of an era… info management, babies, work, info management, babies, scrapbooking.
I’m just wrapping up my new organization of Feedly, my Google Reader replacement. It’s my second replacement, actually, after I figured out that Flipboard doesn’t allow users to aggregate RSS feeds into one “board”. Seriously, dumb. I hate dealing with information management… Google Reader worked for SO LONG, and was SO GREAT. Blargh! It’s an end of an era in how I consume news, and that’s making me a bit cranky tonight. End of an era is a theme in my life right now… impending…
Gaming
Hay Day
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything gaming related… Working in the industry is a strange thing. It’s super fun, of course, but also ultimately work. So I’ve rarely indulge in games outside of work hours. This, however, changed over the last week for two reasons… (1) I got an iPad. The ultimate gaming device in my opinion. My Android phone was really bad for gaming, not to mention very, very small. The iPad is the perfect size for so many different games. (I…
Newest Latest Addiction: Triple Town
Oh wow. Triple Town is awesome! A coworker of mine introduced me to the game and it is flat out addicting. I know real chess players would scoff at me saying this, but the game feels very much like chess. It can be very strategic. And at the same time, the game is crazy cute. The bears, which block your moves and are a nuisance, get annoyed and growl. And when the bears growl, the people scream. I’ve been telling people that I’m so addicted…
Latest Addiction: Solitaire Blitz
Luckily, I play video games for a living because I am addicted to Solitaire Blitz. Have you played it? A friend of mine did the art for it (which is adorable), and others I know developed the economy and balancing, but that does not make me biased at all. It’s blitzy! And fun! By the way, I’m going to be re-posting some of my gaming content that I wrote last year during the MBA program. It’s going to show up in RSS feeds, even though it isn’t…
