martha hopes that we will make these lovely handmade ring pillows for our weddings.
perhaps if you have already had the pleasure of becoming married, you can make these and have your husband bring stuff to you on them. like a small bag of cool ranch doritos.
check out these yummy new plates at plumparty.
i'm going to share two important, little known truths with you.
1) rubbing alcohol works 2934 times better than windex at cleaning windows. it doesn't streak at all and you need so much less of it to get things clean. you can also use it on fixtures and sinks.

in a perfect world, where britney never married kevin and produced offspring, and i could ask for A1 in restaurants without getting the "poor thing doesn't know better" look, i would have these register covers from restoration hardware on every register in the crib.
there's a scavenger hunt in downtown raleigh this weekend. my co-worker mat organized it. the winnner gets a pretty sweet cash prize. more about how to register here
for some reason, i sat and stared at this medicine cabinet in the recent domino forever. i loved everything in it. i've already blogged about the makeup case. i can't stop thinking about the toothbrush holder from jayson home & garden and aim to buy it when the bank account is in the positive. the lotion is one of my fave brands (see handsoap) and like everyone else, i'm obsessed with those little white cutout votives. 
also, i'm not dumb. i realize no one's medicine cabinet will look like this, and its only staged to make us buy the products, but it worked on me. so maybe i am dumb? anyways, domino did a great job and that's why i love it.

i was requested to review ronnie, our vacuuming robot. he is pictured here, in his natural habitat: the corner of the kitchen.
brian got him for me for christmas last year. he's a roomba scheduler and he comes with two virtual walls you can set up to keep him in and out of certain areas. i definitely had to warm up to him -- at first i thought he was pretty useless, but now, he's great. i've accepted him for what he is and our relationship has blossomed because of it.
i turn him on usually once a day. after dinner, we'll let him have at the kitchen, getting up any mess we made cooking and a day's worth of cat litter that's been pranced around out of the cat box. he'll go for about 1.5 hours before dying, and that's about enough to get the kitchen done. he does all of the walls, and corners and then goes diagonally back and forth the entire room. the only problem he has is with the chairs at the table, but he manages to unstick himself from them eventually and keep cleaning.
if we're having company over, i'll use him then too. he can do a quick sweep of the house and get most everything off the floor. granted, he's not a substitute for a good vacuuming. he doesn't have tons of suction, and his bin is pretty small, so it needs to be emptied almost after every use.
i'd say the number one thing i like about him is that he gets cat litter up. we have three cats, and i'm a clean freak, so litter is everywhere, and it drives me crazy. he gets it up, and life goes on. we thought the cats would at least be interested/scared/friendly with him, but they pay him no mind at all. if he's coming at them, they politely step out of the way.
i love this bamboo and marble cheese tray from red envelope. it would make a great present. especially for me, brian.
