I chose a nativity scene because it worked well with the title of this site (something along the lines of: "even jesus had a mom!"), adding a whole new dimension to the strangeness that is this blog's name. I usually get one of two different reactions in response to my blog title:
1. moms are for everyone? I guess... that's... true. Everyone DID get born.
Or,
2. moms are for everyone? bow-chicka-bow-wow! (editor's note: Eeeew. You are gross.)
When I sat down to create this blog, that title was the first thing that popped into my head, so I wrote it in the box and I haven't looked back. It is weird. And slightly ambiguous. Yet, somehow inclusive? And weird.
I like it.
heh.
Anywho, a new banner will replace it by the new year.

Today was bitterly cold, yet Myer and I still managed to make our weekly trip to the thrift store while Ezra was in school. I feel like recently there were months where I couldn't find anything good at the thrift stores, but the last few times I've gone, I've found TONS of stuff that I love. (I haven't bought it all, but at least I've found it!)
Here's are a sampling of the goodness I found (and brought home) today:
-A set of large serving platters with OWLS! Be still my heart!
-A cute metal farm-scene bowl.
-And a couple of new down filled pillows for the couch!
Other than that, I finished up my online Christmas shopping and enjoyed some one-on-one time with Myer.
He's such a cool little guy. I really LIKE him.
Happy Wednesday! :)

I love it.
Those owls are awesome!! lucky you. what great finds.
Very nice touch.
I am wanting to change my blog background, but that requires my husbands help, I am NOT tech savvy at all! So when we get a chance in I don't know...mid-January I will do it:)
I love the pillows and owl plate very cute!
I would have peed in my pants with giddiness if I found that owl plate! So so so cute. I got a real cute hand painted (in Japan) tea cup and saucer at a flea market over the weekend.
I love those plates!!! Soooo cute!!!
I like the nativity scene.
My parents told me they're buying Conrad his own plastic nativity scene for x-mas, one that isn't fragile and glass-one that he can play with. I'm excited to display his fisher price plastic nativity scene every year.
Love the owl plate.
I love your title. Don't change that, please! That owl plate is so cutey-cute! I need to make more time to go to thrift stores. I guess I've lost my patience for enjoying the thrill of the search. Every once in a while though, the mood hits and I'll come home with some smashing good deal. Always makes me happy I took the time.
major score. i absolutely LOVE the farm bowl! [my hands are numb from shoveling & it took me approximately 5 min to type that.]
You make such cool headers and buttons! What do you make them with?
I love the Owls! :D
I LOVE the owl plate!! And that second pic - the bowl with the cottages - I had service for 8 in that pattern 20 years ago!!
