Dear Baby,

Oh how I wish we could share clothes… because Zara has the cutest little outfits for you.  You may not be here yet… but do I have plans for your wardrobe?!  Good thing we won’t be the same size because Mommy would be stealing these outfits!

Dear Flea Market,

Your hours aren’t working for me… they seem to be the same hours that I work.  Well, unless I get up early and we all know that isn’t happening.  Sooo…. I’ve had to resort to finding flea items elsewhere…

Dear Evil Eye,

If I didn’t know better,  a simple glance from you would turn me instantly to stone!  But, if that happens… could you make it marble… I’m kind obsessing over a few pieces lately and it would be super convenient.

Dear Golden Globes Red Carpet,

Well… you certainly weren’t looking very red on Sunday night… if I didn’t know any better you seemed to have been blushing?  Feeling a little naked perhaps?!

Dear Husband,

It seems a new need has popped up in my squirrel brain… you see, I want a barn.  Now, don’t get me wrong… I don’t want horses or hay or anything quite so uncivilized… just something red and renovated to entertain, relax and cook in.  So, if you could get on that, I would really appreciate it… K – thanks!

Dear No Shoe Rule,

You will be in full force very soon once the white cowhide rug arrives.  Sure, you are going into the nursery and I have been warned that shoes will be the least of my problems but too bad.  My house… my rules… and the shoes must come off!

Dear Feet,

You are looking a little tired down there.  Perhaps it’s time to put the heels away for a few days and give those little piggies a rest?  I have just the perfect lazy shoe day planned for you… something a little more sensible but just as stylish!

Dear Waist,

Oh how I miss you… it’s been about 6 months since I last saw you… when you could be belted, show a little curve and define the middle part of ye ‘ole body.  Now, you look as if I swallowed a turtle shell and I dream of the day that I once again can tie a bow around you and celebrate!

Dear Husband,

Boy are you lucky that I’m prego and can’t travel… because the new All Aboard Ship Clutch from Kate Spade would have started a whole lotta begging and pleading to travel via ship to somewhere far away and romantic.  I’m thinking a transatlantic ship to Europe (minus the icebergs) … a fabulous wardrobe and lots of money!  But for now, I shall make my plans in my little brain… inspired by this fab clutch and tuck it away for some pleading later.
