happy hump day

thanks for such a great response to yesterday's first green post. it does my heart a world of good to hear that so many of you are making small, easy changes in your lifestyle in order to live more thoughtfully towards your environment and the world at large. i look forward to continuing this discussion as well (eco friendly diapers, cat litter, composting, gardening & housecleaning, and buying secondhand & using the great stuff that's already out there in the world- those are just a few of the green-living topics on my brain), so thank you!!!

in other news, i spent some time today going through my fabrics, searching for some to use in a quilt or floor mat for the baby's room. i think that i have made my mind up with the white palate, and little touch of vintage color here and there. overall, i want the room to be simple, and calming to the eye. and i figure when she is older, we can add some fun, bright colors easily- especially with a white backdrop. changing up the curtains, adding toddler toys and such will really brighten up the room when the time comes. i'll keep you posted as the nursery progresses.

each wednesday, i volunteer in henry's classroom. it's been great fun, and i know henry really appreciates the time that i am there. he is always such a little love bug as soon as i walk in, he can't seem to resist blowing me kisses or getting up from his seat as soon as he can to come over and give me a squeeze. and his classmates have become very interested in this baby in my belly, especially as time goes on and the bump grows on... before we found out if it was a sister or a brother for henry, lots of kids were correct in predicting a sister. one girl even said that she could hear the baby girl in there, and she sounded really cute. it's a really nice little part of my week, and i hope that i am able to continue to volunteer next year when the little lady is here. (hint, hint, mom. we might need your help with this!)

so that's about it, folks. hope you guys are pluggin' through the week ok!

I love all these fabrics! I think I love the second set best.

That's so cute about Henry and his classroom.

Such cutie fabrics! I love the red set, but I have been in such a red mood lately, buying lots of cute red things for myself last week.
Bless little Henry he is such a sweetie pie.
Have a great week!
