    My favorite afternoon snack is…dare I admit it…Cheetos. I don’t have it in the house much to tempt me but when I do (e.g., pregnancy), look out!

    The pillow that best fits my style is the black and linen chevron stripe. But I love the Holly aqua one too. I have two little boys but I swear if I ever had a 3rd and miracle of miracles, it was a girl, I would do an entire room around that pillow. :)

    My favorite afternoon snack? I’m not usually much of a snacker…I often get to supper and realize that I haven’t eaten since breakfast. If I’m really hungry though a piece of toast with peanut butter and a cup of tea usually fills the hole quite nicely.
