for the little one...

just wanted to share some of my fav baby clothes right now. so adorable- i may need to start buying.

mode of transport

sometimes i feel like when you walk around the streets of ny, women pretty much tell each other what is worth buying. everywhere i turn that's all i see- in grey & blue, then in yellow & sand, and of course in pink. i never cared before but now that i'm in the market for a mode of transport for baby lee...i got curious. what is this brand "bugaboo"?
can i just start by saying that i am truly amazed what bugaboo has done to create a stroller icon. who knew- give women the power to customize and personalize their lifestyle- a "stroller" in this case- and you are in. no questions asked.

of course when you actually read up on the stroller {specifically the cameleon}, you realize that bugagoo has truly created the most innovative stroller to date. it's lightweight, adjustable, aero-dynamic, and comes with a seat frame and a bassinet. just to confirm my love for this stroller- i went to test it out. i swear to you that this piece of artwork basically pushed itself- even with just one finger. i was sold. i finally understood what all the fuss was about.

from joke to reality

it's been a long time! a little too long. for those who will accept my apologies, please read on. i have a huge update.

mr. sleepy and i are having a baby. i know it's crazy. some of you may remember that i joked about getting our lil' monsta Charlie as an excuse to not having children- well, the joke is on me now.

it's taken me a little while to get used to the idea-like 4 months. i went from shock, to fear, to depression, to having my first ultrasound, to gaining interest and then back to fear again...NOW i'm finally excited. i must say that pregnancy hasn't really been difficult for me. i've heard horror stories. fortunately, i've had no morning sickness or even crazy cravings. i've definitely been on an emotional roller coaster and trying to maintain my sanity as much as possible, but that's nothing new to my pre-prego lifestyle. the only difference is that i can't drink my stress away- so i just sleep them away. all in all, pregnancy has been treating me pretty well.

we are in the process of deciding on many things...strollers, cribs, space in our 1 bedroom apt. i will keep you updated, but i may need all the help i can get. btw- it's going to be a baby boy.

vulcanized rubber, oh my!

i was at Gana art gallery tonight for an event and they had a solo exhibition called Mutant Mythos by Yong-ho Ji. all the creatures were made out of vulcanized tire strips. each piece was stunning. if you are in NY...definitely check it out.

Destination Japan

i was walking by the moma store in soho last weekend and saw this ramen spoon/fork. i was giggling to myself because every time i eat ramen i get really annoyed that i have to have both. this combined utensil is brilliant. this might become a need to have. lol.

lil' monsta

so our friend just had a baby and his name is aiden. the child is adorable- can't wait to see it when i'm in chicago next time. as a congrats gift i'm sending an organic baby rib cotton special-t. it says lil' monsta- i got a matching card too (above). i heart the store in nolita, nyc that i got it from {cat fish greetings}- has the cutest things for babies and also fun cards for stationery lovers.
fyi- we got a puppy. our own lil' monsta. his name is charlie and i heart him. {smile} it's my own excuse for not having a child right now. {chuckle} at least i'm getting a glimpse of how well mr. sleepy will clean up after a baby. {chuckle again}

i heart {the wire}

in order to explain my excuse of not writing for the last couple of weeks- all i can say is {the wire}. i have just finished the fourth season and now i have to wait until the fifth season comes out. despite my hesitation at first, this show has truly embodied my highest entertainment expectation. The heart and soul that comes out of David Simon’s writing is inspiring- to the point that i want to drive down to east/west baltimore and pick up every struggling corner kid. each season takes you through a different view of baltimore- corruption within the police force and drug wars; working class and the shipping yards; political corruption; educational system. the last season is about the media...i'm so excited to watch. unfortunately, i have to wait until august. maybe someone will decide to release it early. for those who have not tapped into HBO...you definitely should. the dialogue and character affinities they create- you won't be able to view primetime tv the way you did before.
