Lately...

* A wonderful trip to Chicago last weekend (photos below).  Without Eloise.  Missed her but it was very nice.  And we ate looots of good food.
* Also, during which we went to The Land of Nod store.  First time I saw all the products in person.  It did not disappoint one bit.
* I'm currently in my elective rotation, Endocrinology (translation: lots of diabetes and thyroids).  And I like it.  It's really interesting.  And the schedule is nice.  Surgery rotation will begin in 4 weeks.
* Eloise is VERY energetic right now.  Which means she's very entertaining.  It also means she is testing our/her limits as well.  It's trying and fun at the same time.
* I started reading the Hunger Games in Chicago.  Holy cow, it's good.  Everyone had told me that, but after seeing the movie, I became even more motivated to read it.  Can't wait to read more...
* I'm finally starting to see the light with PA school.  There are still quite a few days when I feel down and discouraged (there is still SO much to learn), but overall, I enjoy clinic.  Which means that even though I miss Eloise, it makes it at least a little easier to be away.  Also, time is going so quickly.  I'm now in rotation 4 of 9.
* Rotation 4/9 means I will be getting a job in less than a year.  Uuummm, eeeeks!

Chewbeads are baby-safe jewelry, especially great for teething (although I'm pretty sure you'll want to wear them way after the teething stops).  Here are a few of the specifics, straight from their site : - Beads are made with 100% silicone (similar to pacifiers & nipples) - Soft on babies gums and emerging teeth - Easily cleaned with dish soap & water,

Land of Nod Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

Giveaway is CLOSED. Giveaway, it's a giveaway!!! $50 Land of Nod Gift Card! I'm obsessed with The Land of Nod .  I'm sure this is no surprise.  As you know, a whole lot of Eloise's room came from there.  And we continue to loooove, love, love their products.  SO, just recently, they came out with some amazing and adorable new products .  I can't get over how cute the new beddings are...these would have seriously been in the running for EA had they existed then.  And the blue Jenny Lind bed is the perfect shade of aqua, all funky and polished at the same time.  In love.  And, if you happen to like poufs, too, a faux leather (and somewhat cheaper) version of one for kids (or adults).  Oh, yes, and the rugs...seriously amazing...  I need to stop.   Anyways, these sweet people at the Land of Nod have offered to give one lucky reader a 50 dollar gift card .  Yep, that's right.  I'm pretty stinking excited.  I kind of wish I could enter!  For details,

Another Chewbeads Giveaway - Open until 6/11.

YAY!   Another Chewbeads Necklace Giveaway – the Turquoise Hudson !   Giveaway will close on Monday, 6/11 at 10pm – winner will be announced by Wednesday evening. So, this go around, the necklace is a gift from me as a thank you for reading or visiting this tiny little blog.  Also, because it’s really fun to give stuff away.   So, I’ll be giving away one specific necklace, the Turquoise Hudson , since it seemed to be the overall favorite last time!   Chewbeads have actually even improved since the last giveaway - they're now lighter weight and don't snag on long hair! You all know I’m a little obsessed with them , and I still wear them, even with E at 16 months.   Actually, she was just chewing on them the other day (same day as the pic above– I swear she chews on them, I just never catch it).   And – she cries for the Charles bangles when I wear them.   She’s convinced they are hers, I assume.   So...Who can enter? Anyone – Old readers, new
