...fresh flowers are such a pick-me-up. I'm nearly 31 weeks pregnant and seem to have acquired many of the wintertime illnesses all at once. Not too fun. But a little over a week ago I started some paperwhite bulbs that I ordered in bulk back in the fall... a little green + white goes a long way!
The blooms pictured died out several weeks ago, but since December I've been starting new ones every couple of weeks and it has been awesome.Also, some sickness-induced TV watching: I am very nearly about to bawl my eyes out over Sleepless in Seattle right now, as if I haven't seen it a thousand times. Also, did the same with You've Got Mail the other day when she has to close the store and remembers her mom dancing around with her there... and I don't even really like that movie very much.
Pregnancy hormones + sinus infection = lots of kleenex.

Just found your blog via Homemade by Jill. Based on only two posts (this one and the play kitchen), I know I'll keep stopping by.
I love paperwhites, amaryllis, any bulb really--they're like surprises, I think.
Oh, forced bulbs...what a great idea!
If you ever come to New York, you gotta go to Cafe Lalo on on 84th Street on the Upper West Side...that's the little cafe where Tom Hanks left Meg Ryan the rose in You've got Mail! :)
Congrats on your pregnancy...am sending healthy vibes toward Indiana!
xo, Kate in NYC
I am so sorry you've been so sick. What a pain.
I love all the wonderful light coming into your house. I'm sure the snow helps with that too -- all that reflected light. I know even at night, my place seems so much lighter.
