No, not me. The robin that has decided to build its nest upon the support column of our front porch!

Ride it Out
Brandon and I tend to gravitate toward very different toys for Eleanor. Take this for example…
I thought this little wooden walker (A) was so cute. I imagined Eleanor toddling around with it, blocks and stuffed animals in the compartment. I even bought one and painted it pink! Adorable.
A few days ago, Brandon brought this Lil’ Princess Ride On
Guess which one the baby prefers.
Eleanor’s Silhouette
Silhouettes are always lovely, but there’s something about a baby’s that is extra sweet. I’m using Eleanor’s for her first birthday party.
I used Illustrator, but here is a silhouette tutorial using tracing paper. Have you ever made one? How did you use it?
Ammerö Bench
I couldn’t track down the bench I had seen at Target, so I picked up two of IKEA’s Ammerö seats to try out on the front porch.
What do you think? I think it will look great once it’s all styled up. I’ll probably pick up another pair to use at the other far end.
We Need a New Bench for the Front Porch
We’re going to give my mom the furniture from our front porch, which means we are now looking for some replacements.
I had been planning to get IKEA’s Ammerö seating. Two of them together make a nice little bench that is perfectly sized for the far ends of the porch.
Then I saw another option when I was at Target recently.
Cute, right? It’s a Windsor Loveseat by Smith & Hawken. They were out of stock, so I got a rain check. Great, except when I called today to check stock, I noticed that the rain check is for the wrong item. And it isn’t listed on the website. And there was a lot of confusion in the store when I asked for the rain check in the first place, and I don’t know if we’ll actually be able to get a hold of one (or possibly two) of these.
So maybe we’re back to the IKEA option?
