My issue with exercise is simple. I exercise with my kids and they've gotten entirely too heavy for pushing in a stroller...yes, it's the spendy double stroller, I thought I HAD to have. After coming across this fancy Madsen bike, I think my problem is solved! I won't break my back during exercise and these kids look like they're having a ball! I'm not sure I'll ever look as put together as this young momma, but it's worth a try...now for a place to park this bad-boy!

Ahhh...good stuff
Do you ever feel like there's just a lot of negative going on around you? It stinks. I just got an e-mail from an old friend about her new website - go with steph - and just let out a big...ahh. There are good people and there are good things going on all around us. Sometimes we just need to stop and minute and refocus. Have a happy weekend!

Country Living love
Earlier this winter, Country Living contacted La Plates with an idea for their May issue. They were rounding up the best of gingham and wanted to feature La Plates...checkout page 125! As a follow up, we are participating in their upcoming event, "Housing Works Thrift Shops 5th Annual Design on a Dime fundraiser benefiting the nation's largest grassroots AIDS service organization. For this wildly popular interior design charity, Country Living magazine is hosting a VIP room, where leading designers and celebrities can purchase gift baskets to benefit the cause."

Greek Key inspiration
The greek key pattern has always caught my eye. It was not until we were creating an original design that I realized how intricate the pattern can become! Here are a few items that inspired us:

Golf is in the air!
