favorite things – march

If a pharmaceutical company found a way to synthetically reproduce whatever cocktail of hormones sparks the pregnancy nesting urge, I’d be one year-round happy, productive woman.  And I’d have one exhausted Big Friend on my hands.  I’ve lost track of where the “brain off” switch is, and we’re humming away like whirling dervishes around here painting rooms, rearranging pictures, optimizing space, creating solace, planning big.  And there’s something about this need to get-it-all-done-before-the-baby-cyclone hits in May that has driven me to stumble across some lovely favorite finds that I just have to share with you today.

Two of my favorite things

(Of course, looking over this list, you’ll wonder how anyone ever found anything of note prior to Etsy and Pinterest. I wonder, too.  Because I just can’t get enough of these sites.)

By the way, if you see the UPS man lurking in my bushes, everything’s a-ok.  He’s probably just avoiding me, because I want to give that man a big, squeezy, nesting hug each and every time he walks up my steps with a package.  I love favorite things.
