Paying Bills

Who doesn't need a little help balancing the checkbook and paying those pesky bills?

Well, if you're like me and need a little reassurance that you're balancing everything okay and that you're doing a good job, just ask Miles Schuller to help. With that baby-ish charm and suave expertise, he'll boost your confidence and heck, he might even toot for you.

That's how we get stuff done 'round here.

You Are Special

There's a story behind this big red plate that arrived in the mail on Monday. It goes a little something like this:

Aunt Emily comes to visit and dote over little baby Miles et al.

Sarah mentions to Emily how she is just dying to get her mitts on a red "You Are Special" plate (just like the one we had growing up).

Two weeks later: postman delivers box to Sarah and lo and behold, a brand new "You Are Special" plate lies inside, from none other than Emily.

Sarah calls Emily to thank her and Emily confesses she found the plate at a thrift store, never-been-used, even with the pen still in it (for writing down those special days on the back of the plate) for $2.50.

And the saying is true: one man's junk is another man's treasure!

And, because I've been on a roll with the special packages lately, I got this pretty vintage-looking clock yesterday in the mail from my Mom. Isn't she thoughtful and stylish?
I think so. And, that is why I have felt special for the past couple days.

I just bought myself, and a few others a plate just like that for Christmas...I wish I'd found it for $2.50! Miles is adorable.

Miles is growing such an adorable little red head. Love it.

That plate seems like a really fun idea.
