Sleeping In Seattle?

Dear Mother Nature,

Hi there, it's me. Just wanted to "drop" you a quick note to chat about the weather.

I know, we've been in a drought the last couple of years, and I TOTALLY understand where you're going with all this, but really, we've had enough rain.

My hair is frizzy, my dog and my son are stir-crazy and I'm just waiting for the mosquitoes to start hatching. Hubs teaches golf for a living, and come on, no one can play golf when the ball disappears in the mud when you hit it.

I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. I love getting my Dansko's soaked just walking 10 feet into the office and the fact that my son has the ability to find every puddle within 20 feet to jump in. Just asking for a little bit of relief. Looks like we have five more days of rain coming in the forecast and just thought I'd send you a little shout out.

Thanks,
Sometimes I Think I'm Sleeping in Seattle

  1. Ha, this was so cute! It has been yucky in NC too! To go along with the saying, I guess the April showers are coming a little early, so maybe the May flowers will too! I'd be ok with that :) Hope you still have a wonderful weekend despite the rain.

  6. Well I just noticed that your weather board was from Raleigh...I'm here too. Neat! I feel you on the rain...as I told DH last night, I can take one day of a good down pour-but a week of this drizzle stuff is annoying!

    Have a great weekend...try to stay dry!

  11. I know the drought was bad and all, but it made it SO easy to predict the weather! You always knew you could do anything outside ANY time, dry and sunny! I second your letter to Ma Nature!!!

  14. Come on down to Southern CA. We have not had enough wet weather...for a very long time. Sometimes I get sick of the sun (sshhh...don't tell). My husband is from NC and never lost his southern accent. I love a good southern accent. I'll be back!

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
