tooth fairy.

Presley Boy FINALLY lost his first tooth! I think I was more excited than he was. When it first became loose I decided I wanted to make him a cute, little pouch for the tooth fairy. I used leftover felt and free-handed the star and tooth. I used red embroidery thread to stitch his first initial and around the star (leaving the top open for his tooth/money).

bits + pieces of today.

i absolutely love staying home every monday.

we were all up at 7:30. watched some disney movies. had breakfast & coffee. sent presley off to school. sent the mister off to work. put mason down for his nap. read & watched some rock hudson movies. cleaned. fed mason lunch. took mason on a walk and ended up picking pres up from school. made dinner.

things i like.

Fact: coffee tastes better when it comes from vintage dishes your husband bought you.

Also, I enjoy vintage artwork. & reading.

a new year.

NYE becomes less and less of an event the older I get. And that's perfectly ok with me. Instead of getting drunk with a bunch of people I don't really care about, I get to enjoy lots of yummy food and staying up until midnight with the kiddos. And a new year's kiss from my favorite man...of course.

We went to my mom-in-law's and hung out until 11:30, then headed home in time to bang pots & pans in our front yard. Pretty sure my old neighbors loved us for that.

As for new year's day, it was pretty much perfection. The entire family slept in, had a delicious breakfast and then went on a drive. Now, we're ending our night with baked chicken parm for dinner & ratatouille.

Cheers!
