Mom and son

I have lots of first birthday photos to share (mostly of the cake eating part), but I wanted to start with this one. I just love it!

Which shoes?

Which pair do I want to buy? Be reasonable. I don't need three pairs of shoes.

A little bit more

Listen. There are going to be a lot of photos from the baby's first birthday, so I'm just preparing you for the upcoming picture overload. It's for your own good, really. So here are more Jonas photos...

Guess whose birthday is Friday!

This guy's. 

Link round-up

Dear tiny audience,
Sorry I haven't posted lately. I've been busy ... falling asleep on the couch at 9. I've been working hard, just got a freelance piece, and typically can think of so many things I should do once I get home that I just do none of them. I think that's pretty reasonable.

So until I want to write something better or put my photos from babysitting-Jonas weekend on my computer, here are just some links to entertain you.

• Will and I saw The Black Keys on Tuesday. Great weather, great show, great time.
• I got tips from these wedding bloggers for a story this week on how to save money as a wedding guest.
• Mother's Day is coming up! Gift ideas.
• Jonas' first birthday will be that same weekend! What should I buy him?
• Do you think I could make this skirt if I bring my portable sewing machine back from my parents' house? More importantly, will Augie let me?
• I'm trying this recipe this weekend. Anyone brave enough to try it with me, 3 cups of sour cream and all?
