Interesting Advice

Yesterday my back was bothering me (I think I slept weird) and while stopped at a red light I was trying to massage my lower back where it hurt. Benjamin noticed what I was doing and this is the conversation that followed:

Benjamin: Mommy tummy hurt?

Me: No, my back hurts.

Benjamin: What do?

Me: I don't know. What do you think I should do?

Benjamin: Eat banana.

Me: I should eat a banana to make my back feel better?

Benjamin: Yes, two bananas.

Tessa is AMAZING!

I'll be back to regularly updating our blog someday soon. I've just been too busy having fun with new friends and working on home decorating projects to make us feel more comfortable in our new house. But, I'm going to make time for it again...someday... soon. Promise

MEANWHILE... let me introduce you to my [favorite] cousin's wife Tessa. She is one of the best scrapbookers I know, and I'm not just saying that because she's family :) Her work is AhhhMazing. And, to make it even better she also has an Etsy shop Precocious Paper where you can buy some of her coolest embellies for your own scrapbooking/cardmaking skills.

I have had my eyes on these for awhile now...

And this little abc album is to die for... I actually squealled when I saw it. I just wish I had my own little girl so I would have an excuse to buy this.

Check out the detail:

LOVE!!!

Right now she is having a giveaway on her blog- and you could win THIS:

If I win, I can't decide if I would use it for Halloween pictures from this year or from the past few years... I MIGHT want to give it away to Grandma or someone, but it's too darn cute and I'm thinking I'd just have to keep it all to myself.

Seriously, why are you still here- run over to her blog and enter to win it!
