pretty imac

this pretty iMac is now sitting in our living room... yay for finally having a "family" computer! I'm excited too for video chatting now that mom and dad are moving to Libya this summer. Most days I find myself wishing I was born in the days wear women still wore only dresses and knit socks... but today I'm happy to be in the 21st century... thank you mac... i heart you. ab

mel + etsy goodness

completely stole this from mel's blog, but I agree that they are the cutest slippers I've seen in a long time! Please go visit Elephant & Chickpea's etsy shop and browse all of the styles for endless fun. At Mel's suggestion, I'm seriously considering these for mother's day gifts this year... so fun. xoxo ab

life is for sharing...enjoy

yum yum food is good...

Sooo, now that I'm working i have about zero energy for cooking, grocery shopping and other domestic like tasks that used to be so much fun for me. But I've been blog surfing today (my day off, YAY!) and came across this lovely little blog with great shared recipes called Denise's kitchen. I don't know Denise, but found this site linked from Katrina and Brad's blog, GO TRINA! Anyways, I've been reading the recipes and they sound not only amazingly tasty, but also pretty quick and easy which is essential around the Booth house. I wanted to pass in along to you my friends because I know all of us can get stuck in a rut when it comes to cooking so that I thought that we could all use some inspiration! Enjoy and THANK YOU DENISE & CO for the yummy recipe collection!

In other news, we have been doing well. Easter was especially fun because John and Susie have been in town from San Francisco this week. Its been so good to hang out with the whole fam and catch up with our California crew. I'm so jealous hearing all of their amazing west coast city life stories!! I'm anxious to visit soon so they can show us all of their favorite restaurants, shops, sites etc... They are so fun and cute and California like, I love it!

I have been so bad about taking pictures lately. I think I have some new ones of my phone of Olive, but seriously, I have this great new camera and its just sitting on the counter in its cute purple case... I promise to be better soon, until then I'll leave you with this great tip for all of you iphone users... download the "toy camera" app. It takes the coolest, sort of vintage looking pics on your phone. (i'll upload a few below) The effect changes on a cycle, so its pretty fun to see how the picture will turn out. If you decide to give it a try, send me your cute creations! love for now, ab
