    Another exciting H&M tidbit: they announced they would start e-commerce in the U.S. by 2012! Even if they don’t come to your town, you can shop online soon.

    Hi Meg! I live in NYC and will go to the Wonder Woman store if you want something. The packaging looks pretty amazing, so I think I want to go for myself too :)

    I love these posts where you list all sorts of greatness happening in your life. I really feel like I should start doing the same thing because it seems very self-encouraging! A personal reminder to yourself of how many awesome things are surrounding you in your life and to appreciate all the little things, always. :)

    I am not a mom yet I want that diaper bag. It’s fantastic. I’ll just fill it with other fun things until I eventually fill it with diapers instead.
    I can’t believe you haven’t been using bloglovin’ up until now – oh meg! – it’s the best. I have been using it for a while now and like it so much better than google reader. I am reading your blog with bloglovin right NOW. :D

    I really need to make a roadtrip to Omaha when it gets nicer outside. And maybe peek inside CAMP. And have some eCreamery ice cream. You should do another Omaha tour guide!!

    The sun catchers are such a great craft idea. If you do not mind, I am going to steal your idea to do with my kids on a cold, rainy day. I am sure they will love it.

      definitely do it! we ironed things between sheets of waxed paper (use a piece of parchment paper to protect your iron) and then fit them inside embroidery hoops!
