kittys & cookies.

So I finally got around to making root beer cookies after seeing them on The Dainty Squid forever ago. They sounded so yummy! Well, the first cookie was definitely yummy... but I think I'm good on anything root beer for at least another year! lol

Also we've acquired two new kittys! Brother and sister! A girl from work was going to get rid of them so I figured I would take them.  Nate adores them! (even though I was only suppose to bring home one!!) but Oscar is a bit of bully towards the boy. We haven't name them yet, any suggestions? We had a bit of a scare with the female gray one last night. She was trying to get into the refrigerator last night while I was making dinner and got crushed by the door and got hurt pretty badly. We took her to the vet and luckily she is fine, just a bit traumatized I think.

well tata for now. i've got work to do!

meet oscar

we recently added a new addition to the family. His name is Oscar. Let me tell you that I have never seen a kitten so in love with a toddler. Usually they run for the hills when Conrad comes running at them but this little guy loves it and just plays right back and will even snuggle with conrad. =) how adorable. (p.s. somebody is getting chunky.)

we've had a successful few thrifting trips recently as well. i've been gathering lots of vintage clothes lately especially shoes like the ones above. im dreaming of selling vintage soon. =)

and this is what has taken up my office recently lol.
well tata for now. hope all is well in your part of the world.

im a cheap shopaholic.

iIm a bit over excited about a few of the purchases ive made this week (mainly today) and HAVE to share.

i finally bought a new duvet cover for our new king size bed. its ridiculous that we've gone 6 months using a full size comforter for our bed lol. we've been fighting over covers for a while now. Target had one in pink/purple that i really like on clearance! It wasn't exactly what i wanted but i think ill love it more in person! for $30 for anything king size you cant complain. $30 is usually what i have to spend on extra sheets alone. bah! A while back i blogged about how much i loved betsey johnsons house and the yellow/pink color scheme. i'd love to do something similar in my bedroom now that i have something pink to work with. =)

i also bought these from UA.they were originally 16, but they sold me with the buy 2 for $24. haha. hey, i've been working for little things like this. =) I love super cute cheap things!



Conrad also scored two pairs of converses. One pair of these sweet Dr Seuss ones and a pair of classic black high tops. They were buy one pair get one for $1!!! So it came out to about $15 a pair. These are his first converses ever, and its a monumental experience for me having worn mine the hell our through high school. =) My little boy is growing up.

also had to share this very cute link found via the dainty squid. 15 ways to organize your cats.

well ta ta for now folks.

So it's been quite a while.

So it's been quite a while aye? I've been quite tied up with trying to find a new job and getting ready to move! It's amazing the ways that God works. Sometimes on the surface things may seem lost of all hope, but really underneath its a blessing in disguise. didn't you miss my lack of correct punctuation and ability to capitalize anything haha?

first things first, another new addition to the family: meet tiger lily. she's a feisty little thing. she and squid are best friends now. its adorable.




conrads birthday came and went and i was relieved to have it done with. it was a success and the heat wasnt too bad, the wind was a different story. it destroyed most of the table decorations and marshmallow pops melted all over the place, but it was a great turn out. =)




we're moving! very sudden and crazy but i'm excited! we'll be living with my parents for a couple of weeks til we can everything with the house we're wanting situated and i'm hoping that that goes smoothly because this new house means that I would have an office/studio and that conrad will have a big backyard and that nate will have a garage/man cave. so everyone wins! once all this is taken care of i'll hopefully be back to updating regularly.

in the meantime check out what ive been obsessing over: matt & kim. phenomenal happy day music. if im stressed i put them on the playlist and just dance in the living room when no one is watching.


Now I don't know if theyre a couple or not but they are two adorable people. =)

so ta ta. hopefully next time i'll be writing from my new office? feel free to donate to that cause haha. love you all.
