Well, I don't know what I did last week, but everyone felt kind of bad about having a clean house. Stephanie even felt obliged to take a picture of her unkempt closet for her Corners segment this week. Ha Ha. That cracked me up. All I was trying to do was not copy from you directly, and add some humor to my segment. But feel free to keep taking pictures of your messes! Makes me feel better!
So, although this doesn't really "showcase" my main living area, I figure, it shows up in enough other pictures anyway. It's pretty much trashed all the time, except (1) on Mondays when Rosa picks it up and vacuums, and (2) when we attempt to actually make the kids put all the toys away in correct plastic storage containers. (which I was really good at for awhile) I'm not that bad, really...it gets picked up at night, but come the next day, it's a mess again...the leather ottoman table gets pushed around (which, by the way, I highly recommend as an end table as opposed to a table table) For a baby learning to walk and pull herself up, it's amazing! I bought it right after Ian learned to walk, and I wish I had had the foresight to buy it beforehand. Nothing works on real coffee tables to keep babies from hurting themselves...not stupid baby bumper things you wrap around...nothing...
OK, so awhile back I wrote about me introducing Ian to a whoopie cushion. We were in bed, so we just played with it with our hands. Now, Ian will DEMO how to REALLY use a whoopie cushion. He's gotten quite sophisticated:
DEPLOYMENT OF THE WHOOPIE CUSHION
FIRST, INFLATE USING YOUR PERSONAL OXYGEN SOURCE OR SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU, SUCH AS THE FAVORITE, THE MOTHER
SECOND, ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD THAT A FART SOUND WILL BE HEARD, THROW DEVICE ON GROUND, AND THROW BUTTOCKS ON GROUND. LAUGH HYSTERICALLY. REPEAT STEP ONE.
AN ALTERNATIVE TO STEP TWO, IS THE CHAIR. PLACE WHOOPIE CUSHION ON CHAIR, THEN BUTTOCKS, LAUGH. REPEAT STEP ONE.

More farting...this is getting to be a "thing" with us...
We also have a couple leather upholstered ottomans and they are some of my favorite things. Luke learned to walk with the assistance of our smaller one too.
Cameron would love the whoppie cushion, I don't think I would be able to get him to stop!! Your house looks fine! I let you see my "craft room". talk about a disaster...

I was thinking of getting one of those leather coffee tables too. We've got my great uncle's cedar chest as our coffee table right now. It's GREAT for holding all the blankets, but I swear those corners are viciously pointed.
I think Kelly (Dragonfly Diaries) said the leather coffee table was the one childproofing necessity for them too.
Hmmmmm, might be time to go shopping!!! At least this is one thing I can buy without knowing if we're having a boy or girl, one or two.
By the way, I LOVE all of your baby recommendations. Is there any way you could do a sidebar item or a whole post/blog for all your recommendations/reviews or something? :-)))))
No whoopie cushions for many of my male students - they just let it rip - much to my consternation. Boys... ;-)
I am soooooo going to buy one of those for my nephew! Watch out Lisa, I'm getting him one for Easter! That's what Aunts are for! Ha Ha Ha!
Oh, and your son is adorable!
There is never a time when a good fart isn't funny. Loved this. I live with a toddler (aka my hubby who is 38) who still enjoys his daily flatulence.
I think we'll be getting a leather ottoman/coffee table too - I'm already worried about the wood tables (corners scare me with little noggins)....and I still have at least 7 months of a wait ahead!
Love it, love it, love it!!!
Jen, I am a friend of Colleen - aka Journey to Mary. I am the one that redid her blog. If you truly meant you want help to redo your banner/header, I can do it. Just let me know.

This is soo funny. Why are farts so hysterically funny to kids? Potty humor never goes out of style I suppose.

Oh the Whoopie Cushion. My little guy loves his. I actually sat on one he had and popped it. Boy he thought that was just too funny!!
I couldn't live with out my Ottaman-coffee table. I wish mine was leather.
