Edible Googly Eyes

I think these are the coolest, funnest, grossest things ever! Now I just need a special occasion, so I can try it! I don't want to wait for Halloween, or Isabella to be a few years older. The step-by-step directions with lots of photos are on the Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories website.

fun site

I just came across this website American Science & Surplus and it looks way too cool to forget about. I'm posting it here, so I don't loose it later when I want to search again. They have some wild, random stuff there.

Vermont Farmhouse

I'm not sure what started it, but since I was a young teenager I've dreamt of living in a Vermont Farmhouse. I use to be fascinated with stories or photos of rural Vermont. There always seemed to be something romantic about it all. A few summers ago Brian and I spent a few days touring Vermont and I do believe it is one of the prettiest places I've been to. It is so very green--in the summer.

I originally saw a reference to this farmhouse on {frolic}. But the farm is Riverside Farm.

The Big 3-0!

Wow! I never thought I would turn 30 years old. That's like, a real adult, or something! I thought by 30 people were suppose to have their lives figured out and know how to be confident. I haven't figured out either of those things. Two of the most wonderful things these 30 years have given me are my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter. What joy and happiness they bring into my life.

I really love it when Brian brings home flowers. Aren't these tulips just lovely?!

Our View

This is the view from our front windows. I really like it. It's not as open as our last place, but at least it isn't only a brick wall (like many Manhattan apartments). There are six large windows (three in the living room and three in our bedroom) that face this view. Since the windowsills are quite deep Isabella and I will sit on them and look for dogs ("oof" as Isabella says), read books or eat snacks. Those are moments I love.
