kitchen is decorated

Tomorrow my dad will be 56... I can hardly believe it. He was once asked how old he really felt and he said "25". I'm starting to think you feel and think the age you had the best time in your life at. My favorite year was 23. And sometimes I'm just as amazed and some people are to find out I'm 29! It just sounds so old.
Every year on my dad's birthday we have bread pudding for dessert. The first year I made it I miss read the directions and poured a lot more bourbon in the bread pudding then needed. After that year we've always pour a little extra. You just can't beat it.

Curtain LOVE

Ben and I are starting to work on our office. I'm going for an industrial feel. We bought a desk from Ikea, a new light from West Elm (my favorite) and painted the walls ivory with one wall chalkboard black. Now I'm working on finding a curtain that will go with this room. I came across this shower curtain that I love! I realize that its a shower curtain but sometimes the best curtains are shower curtains.

Beard Beanies

Ben and I aren't really doing presents this year, BUT..... I just purchased this cool beard/hat combo for him for Christmas! I think its totally fun and its what he wanted so I'm excited to see his face on Christmas morning when he opens it!
