It's true...

Arranging your books by spine color makes a bookcase look more organized. Just don't ask me to locate a particular title.


And yes, that is the little munchkin crawling around on the floor. We have started to childproof our house and the bookcase has baskets on the bottom shelves filled with his toys. If only we could keep them in the basket instead of all over our floor...

father's day

A month has passed and it's already time to start planning for Bobby's first Father's Day. No pressure.

This is what he gave me for Mother's Day:



He ordered it from this etsy shop. I love it so much! And I must admit, I sent him an email a few days before detailing exactly what I wanted, but you have to give him credit for following through on such short notice.

I've looked at a few gift guides and everything listed is completely unacceptable. Gadgets, cuff links, monogrammed ties – nothing Bobby would possible be interested in. He would be perfectly happy if I gave him iTunes gift cards for every holiday on out, but I refuse.

And of course, the baby is a wee bit young to make a precious Father's Day finger-painted picture frame or a macaroni portrait. He'll have those to look forward to in the future.

Part of me wants to take Avery to the mall and get a really cheesy Tshirt made with our faces in the center with "Big Daddy" airbrushed across the front. But, Bobby will probably wear it way too much like the graffiti trucker hats we picked in NYC as a joke.

So, what are you guys doing? Any ideas you can share with me? It's not like Bobby ever reads this blog anyway...
