happy valentine's day to you and you and you.....

so here's my attempt to get the mommy of the year award: homemade valentine's day cards made with taylor. i saw the cutest ones in february's better homes and gardens (it's not online for some reason) and thought i could totally do that. and we did :) well, let's just say taylor did a lot of cutting on a random sheet of paper (she got bored pretty quickly) and then her little helpers pasted, cut, and assembled. and then she chimed back in to do her own "original artwork" on the inside of the cards. it was a lot of fun and super inexpensive (cupcake holders, construction paper, heart stickers, and scrapbook paper). sadly, we are leaving for atlanta today so she will miss her class valentine's party but i promise to make it up to her :)

yay! we have officially almost made it through the week....and my cold is almost gone. we are suppose to go to an oyster roast tonight but there is a 100% chance of rain....not ideal for outdoor cooking.

i think my little man is trying to tell me he's ready for some attention. for the past month, i have done a fairly good job of concealing him. i throw on a puffy vest and zip it up. i thought i was pulling it off pretty well until my dad informed me otherwise. so maybe it's time to let the little man out. b/c my bump is definitely in full effect. and one person who is very aware of that is barron, my golden. he follows me EVERYWHERE...around the house, to the bathroom, to bed...in fact, as i type he is lying at my feet.

what's a girl got to do to get a sick day around here?

i think it is really important to give compliments where they are deserved. since we recently moved to a new town, i was in need of some new things....mostly in the way of address labels, business cards, etc. when i started shannon darby design four years ago, i went out and had a logo designed and spent a lot of money on business cards, letterhead, and envelops....and ordered way too many. well this time, i decided to take a different approach. and i am so happy with my results. which is why i wanted to share them with you. and b/c i would like to give them a little shout out in hopes that maybe they can get some future business....
