My friend Roxana and I stepped out on Friday night for First Friday! On First Friday many of the local businesses stay open till 9 and serve treats and wine. I love First Friday's. :) Oh... and no: I didn't wear those heels while walking around the neighborhood... :) Just for the photos.

A vote for our blog this lovely day? Just a couple more votes and I move up a bit! Yay! Only takes a couple of clicks if you'd like to vote.

Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Guess who's wearing cloth diapers?

{Not me! But, Ruari is! I got them from my sponsor, Tiny TreeHugger. We just started using them on Tuesday. And yes... I've already had to deal with a poopy cloth diaper. Ewww! She had mashed potatoes the night before. That equals=mushy gross poo stuck to cloth! Eww. Yup. Eww. But, it wasn't a big deal. I haven't washed them yet (I did soak them). We'll see how that goes. Gross little pooping baby. ;D}

 
{Also... I did a vlog for Vloggin' Vednesday. This weeks topic is: Guilty Pleasure. Don't forget... if you vlogged this week to link it up over at Adeline's Daddy!}
