i’ve just spent about 5 6 hours reading MadeByGirl (and I’m still going!)

at first, I thought Christy Turlington had a blog, but no - it’s the gorgeous Jennifer Ramos, her gorgeous cards and her amazing sense of style

it’s eye candy overload to me! her blog has inspired me to decorate my home ‘office’ - and decorate it well

edited to add this print -

i love hue by madebygirl

i love it!! if i had a wall in my all-window/door office, i would be hanging this print up for sure

FAMILY MODERN

Your home confidently embraces the many needs of busy, family life. It’s adaptable and easy to live with, reflecting your sense of style without having to banish the kids to the attic or basement. You’re sensitive to elements of design such as colour, light and architectural detail, mixing items that are relatively disposable with other pieces that, in time, will become family heirlooms.

Your home is the hub of family life. It’s unpretentious without being devoid of character: in fact, with so much going on, it’s open to all the pleasures of life.

Regan and I went to the movies on Saturday night as part of his birthday present (yes, going to the movies is a gift to us ) and we finally saw The Dark Knight.

I won’t spoil it for the 1 or 2 people in the world who haven’t seen it - but the only thing I want to say is

WHAT IS WITH BATMAN’S VOICE? lol. I giggled the first 5 minutes because I couldn’t understand a word he was saying.

If he ever came to my rescue and was telling me something, it would go something like this :

Me - Batman, thank you for saving me!
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - Sorry, what did you say?
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - You’ll have to speak up
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - Nope, didn’t catch that ..
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - The what?
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - Huh?
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - Do you need something?
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - Who’s that?
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - Nope, not getting anything you’re saying here
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - Are you ok?
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - I think I’m going to go now
Batman - mumblemumblemumble
Me - …

And so on and so on ..

hello/goodbye from Jasper on Vimeo.

so i thought i would make use of some free time before Jasper arrived home from grandma’s, and bake some bread.

i’m happily admiring how well my mixmaster with the bread kneading prongs has made my bread dough nice and .. well, mixed - when it suddenly feels a bit hot next to me. i look down to my immediate right, to the pre-heating oven next to me and see a sudden flash of flames - and i drop everything and scream SH** !!!

smoke immediately fills the entire downstairs level (there’s no doors, it’s one giant room) and the smoke alarm goes off - Regan runs down to find me hurrying around opening windows and doors.

ugh, i hate kitchen fires! we’ve had one before - but this one was really bad because of the smell - lots of bad smelling smoke, and worst of all - even after power cleaning it because we thought it was our bad-cleaning that set it alight - we don’t know what is causing all the smoke still…

luckily Jasper’s room doesn’t smell so bad so i feel ok putting him to sleep in this place, luckily it’s not as bad and there’s no damage. and more importantly, luckily, my leggings protected my legs! my thermals are slightly melted on top - how terrible is that!

p.s. i won’t be baking for a while. LOL.
