I do too!" It's very surreal.  Life is good and amazing sometimes. <br /><br />Anyway, I love this picture of Harry and Princess Diana.  It's heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.  I thought it was perfect for today since I'm about to have a "Harry" of my own.  (no, we're not naming him Harry, although I love the name and it was a consideration until we realized we would have two boys named after two of the biggest trilogy characters in movie history, Edward Cullen and Harry Potter).  I've always loved Princess Diana, but I feel like I identify with her so much more now that I'm about to have two boys.  Any excuse to identify with a princess, right? <br /><br />Happy Mother's Day Y'all!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />What it's like <a href="http://designerbagsanddirtydiapers.blogspot.com/2013/05/being-mom.html">to be a mom</a> - spot on!<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">yes, I cried</span><br /><br /><a href="http://thehandbookauthority.tumblr.com/post/49783669884">Pretty rooftop pool </a><br /><br />I need one of <a href="http://www.kikiandpolly.com/blog/2013/05/08/feeling-summer/">these Holly Golightly paintings</a> for my bedroom gallery wall<br /><br />A <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/11047961558713950/">gallery wall kind of like this</a><br /><br />BLUE AND WHITE: <a href="http://theglampad.blogspot.com/2013/05/palm-beach-chic-by-wendy-valliere.html">Palm Beach Chic</a><br /><br />MORE BLUE AND WHITE: <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2013/05/a-blue-and-white-bedroom-for-everyone.html">Bedrooms for everyone</a>!   <br /><br /><a href="http://www.bakadesuyo.com/2013/05/happier/">Only one thing is stopping you from being happier </a><br /><br />HOW TO: <a href="http://www.sadieandstella.com/2013/05/how-to-art-stacking.html">good tips for stacking art</a><br /><br />Incredibly moving <a href="http://vimeo.com/65565979#">video on forgiveness from a holocaust survivor </a><br /><br /><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2013/05/sugar-spice-baby-shower-at-our-house.html">Sweet baby shower </a><br /><br /><a href="http://rosesandrustblogger.blogspot.com/2013/05/bathing-beauties.html">Gorgeous Bathrooms</a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.target.com/p/as-seen-on-tv-squeezy-freezy-blue/-/A-14516145">This impulse purchase</a> may have happened at Target yesterday to feed my slushy craving<br /><br />MOTHER'S DAY GIFT IDEA: <a href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/quaaludes/?cat=955&initial=10284">This hilarious jar</a>, especially for Mom's of toddlers  <br /><br /><a href="http://www.target.com/p/mossimo-women-s-knit-maxi-dress-assorted-colors/-/A-14417923#prodSlot=medium_1_45">This Target Dress $29.99</a>  <br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">It's so cute although it didn't look great on my bump, but I <span style="font-size: x-small;">may have just needed a small<span style="font-size: x-small;">er size (yeah!)<span style="font-size: x-small;"> - I will go back <span style="font-size: x-small;">and try it <span style="font-size: x-small;">on </span>when I don't have a 2<span style="font-size: x-small;">-year-<span style="font-size: x-small;">old screaming <span style="font-size: x-small;">"Momm<span style="font-size: x-small;">y's Boobies!" really loud <span style="font-size: x-small;">in the dressing room </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br />THIS FAMILY ROBERTSON: <a href="http://thisfamilyrobertson.blogspot.com/2013/05/edward-and-his-toys.html">Edward and his Toys</a> (don't judge please) <br /><br /><br /></div>

I've become a big fan of Mother's Day.  It might be because my birthday is in October, but, really, it's kind of becoming more important than my birthday.  I didn't really have to do anything to be born, but being a mom is quite the endeavor.  I try to make a point to spend it with my mom and just enjoy the beginning of Summer, but I also like presents.  This year, <a href="http://www.belclairehouse.blogspot.com/2013/05/moodboard-monday-white-master-bedroom.html">I got my gift a little early</a>.  I thought Kip's idea to make a coffee bar for me 10 steps away from my bed was pretty cute and thoughtful, especially because he doesn't drink coffee.  <br /><br />Here are some other things I would like (don't worry Kip, you're off the hook).  I know most of my readers are moms too, so my advice would be to just forward this on to your husbands, kids, partners, etc...<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/windsor/oxford.htm">A french blue bike</a> (I'm not a big biker, but I would love to tootle around the neighborhood on this) <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaELN6wZsERUUOG7WEGods-PLAl9awajC62Ve0x6KF-LjuqSMILaaq69huX1Qzqwnfu6ebSEjTSp_Sy0FCv6ZwqGbJyAu6WkA4YKh1J9bqVZXb0LThTJRPAQL9TuirM1vfEFto9QVTlsA/s1600/Mother's+Day+Gift+Blue+Bike+oxford_ocean_lad_600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaELN6wZsERUUOG7WEGods-PLAl9awajC62Ve0x6KF-LjuqSMILaaq69huX1Qzqwnfu6ebSEjTSp_Sy0FCv6ZwqGbJyAu6WkA4YKh1J9bqVZXb0LThTJRPAQL9TuirM1vfEFto9QVTlsA/s1600/Mother's+Day+Gift+Blue+Bike+oxford_ocean_lad_600.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />Yes, I know every blogging mama and her dog wants a <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Diptyque-Baies-Scented-Candle-diptyque-/prod153960016___/?icid=&searchType=MAIN&rte=%252Fsearch.jsp%253FN%253D0%2526Ntt%253Ddiptyque%252B%2526_requestid%253D50693&eItemId=prod153960016&cmCat=search">diptyque candle</a> so it's nothing new, but I just really love the packaging.   I could decorate my entire master bedroom around this one candle.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAX2YJNF3ayBLJtcZVvFyiAPpS5JMyWCguBznT62CxV4GK7c7M5dxSwtoBJJVErY14gB0NZnnbFNhhyphenhyphenNyy601ElawXphF5Lsyz7MzdXQzgK0rV7SkNwgtKQgWV9_9VJq6T9i3WslKsOrk/s1600/Mother's+Day+Gift+Diptyque+Candle+Baies+NMC16N4_mx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAX2YJNF3ayBLJtcZVvFyiAPpS5JMyWCguBznT62CxV4GK7c7M5dxSwtoBJJVErY14gB0NZnnbFNhhyphenhyphenNyy601ElawXphF5Lsyz7MzdXQzgK0rV7SkNwgtKQgWV9_9VJq6T9i3WslKsOrk/s1600/Mother's+Day+Gift+Diptyque+Candle+Baies+NMC16N4_mx.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />I also love that they can be used as little bud vases <a href="http://grantkgibson.com/2013/01/diptyque-candles/">a la Grant K.
