our new bedding from orla kiely finally arrived! both the packaging and fabric are amazing, we are so excited! it came in these beautiful little boxes that were the same design as our bedding with a note to re-use them. how thoughtful? the new duvet and pillow cases definitely brighten up our bedroom!

orla kiely is a great designer from ireland who makes all sorts of bags, clothing, bedding, towels, paper products and much more. she did a line for target last year and her products went quickly here in atlanta. we really like her designs and were excited to find her bedding available. gub also has an orla purse that she loves!

have any growlers from a brewpub or other large bottles sitting around your house? try filling them with various vinegars or cleaning products like bleach to get more use out of them! we had a few empty ones taking up space in our kitchen so we decided to find another purpose for these cool bottles. our growlers were just collecting dust anyways since georgia doesn’t allow brewpubs to refill them. lame.

we found out we are having a baby girl! how exciting! to make the news a little more special, we had the doctor write down the gender on a sheet of paper and seal it in an envelope for us. we then went out for a nice dinner at fritti, where we opened the envelope to find out the amazing news!

we grabbed some sweets for a gathering today from sublime doughnuts! you can find this great local doughnut shop on 10th st near georgia tech on the westside. they always have a ton of unique flavored treats you won’t find at any doughnut chain. today we went with fresh strawberry ‘n cream, reese’s peanut butter cup, butter toffee with caramel chocolate, orange cream star, gnutella, and caramel apple fritter. they were some of the best doughnuts we have ever had!

for some amazing doughnuts you will be thinking about for days, definitely try out sublime doughnuts!

so we ended up having the entire week off from work due to the snow/ice storm. quite crazy! the snow is finally melting and the roads are slowly getting back to normal, although many are still covered in ice. we can’t wait for warmer weather!

today was our fourth day off from work due to the snow/ice storm. we finally broke out and went on an adventure to ikea. we quickly realized that our street had deceived us and was way less icy than everywhere else. driving was slow moving and slippery. we did find some great deals and the outing was much-needed, though! plus, we had ikea all to ourselves. it was like a ghost town.

p.s. – we bought a crib!!!!!

today we spent our third day in a row cooped up in the house because of the snow storm. third day is a charm… i guess. it was our first day with some sunlight and we were actually productive and did some cleaning. work is called off again tomorrow. crazy!!!

cabin fever is setting in! we are off work again but stuck at home with the icy roads. hot cocoa and groundhog day it is!
