We are finally to bedding. I had a heck of a time finding bedding for Eleanor's room. Once I decided on the inspiration, drapes from World Market, I needed some pretty plain jane bedding. The bed is positioned near the drapes and I didn't want the two competing for attention. Something simple and solid is hard to come by.

Because having everything I needed along with recipes delivered right to my doorstep was like winning the freaking lottery. Baby is due next month, and I have two other rug rats I am responsible for all day. On ...
