That's not all I have for you either. After a small stint of moodiness this past week, I thought I'd share a few more reasons to be happy about today.
Now available through Nendo- chocolate pencils. Yes, indeed ladies, chocolate pencils. Now, for all intents and purposes, these pencils were created to use as a baking tool to create shavings for desserts. However, I see no reason to spend time sharpening the pencils just so you can get a miniscule amount of chocolate on top of your molten lava cake. I intend to eat these pencils like a carrot. That's how I roll.
As long as we are talking about chocolate, and all things wonderful, check this. My baby sister and her hubby will be married 5 years this November and I happen to know that they are more in love today than they were on their wedding day. Believe in marriage.
Every parent, ahem, every good parent, thinks that their baby's bottom is the cutest thing around. We can't help it. It comes with the territory. I gave birth to my son and in the midst of all the emotion and commotion, I distinctly remember thinking, "Well look at that. That is about the cutest bum I've ever seen." And then I collapsed from exhaustion.
So in China, they put their children in bottomless pants. They say it is for practical reasons, you know, for potty training and all, but I'm not so sure. Baby bottoms- another reason to smile today.
Stumble It!

bootyful pants.
I too like those bottomless pants!
You made me smile with your post on this rainy day! I love your earrings to, wish they can be mine... ♥
gorgeous earrings and really interesting blog
It's cold today and reminds me of England. You can wear pretty dresses and gorgeous boots and coats. My wardrobe is full of things screaming to be given life. I will if you will. When we were wee, Mum used to make us wear our knickers over our tights and we had our mitts dangling from our coat sleeves, sewn in for life. Your blog reminds of Autumn coming. Ok, it never really gets cold here but it's all relative and I have seen a few brownish leaves. Baby is bundled up and snoozing and here I am on line. I am nutty.
oh please me! i love green and black, these are perfect!
simply lovely - i hope i'm lucky enough!
Ohhhhh...I want to go into the drawing!
And those bottomless pants make me smile every single time I see pictures of them.
I'm always in for your jewlery! It's beautiful!
April, you are hilarious! I just had a baby a week and a half ago and in all the sleep deprivation I did need a good laugh today and you gave it to me....thank you. And yes, I do believe this new little bottom in my life is the cutest ever!
Greetings April ~ Love your blog!
Pretty earrings, love, chocolate, and clever pants. Have a great weekend, and looking forward to your Fall line!
Beautiful earrings...count me in!
Love the butt. Maybe he's related to Prince?
I have to agree with the bare baby butt adoration. Nothing cuter...when clean-sort of like children in general. I bet a chocolate pencil would write a very sweet love note. ;)
what a collection of pics. I like the backdrop for the earrings! Is that yours?
So how many comments can I leave? Heh, just kidding. Wearing your gorgeous bird necklace today. Everytime I put it on, the girls go "Bird! Bird!"
Those earrings are BEAUTIFUL. <33.
I love your blog, it is so fun to read, you are so creative. I also love your jewelry, I hope I win!!!
If you see what a mess it makes, the bottomless pants are less cute than one imagines. Not that I have a pair.
OMG do the seriously have their babies wear bottomless pants? Makes me think Awwwwww and Ewwwww at the same time. LOL.
Okay, I'm in April! Thanks for the cute blog. You're right, there's lots to smile about. Thanks for being my support system this week! You are the BEST!
Love ya!
Hello. I am knee deep in potty training and the bottomless pants would be very helpful. Anyhoo, I love the earings and your witty humor.

very nice earrings! Those chocolate pencils I could definitely use at work, we are always looking for chocolate to ease the stress of the day. And that cute little baby butt... learned something new today with that, but I do wonder if they ever get cold? Poor little one looks all bundled up 'cept for the butt. Enjoyed my first visit to your blog!
