Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone had a very merry christmas! I know we did. =) This was the first christmas that conrad really got into and it was so much fun to watch him get excited about his new toys!! He has been going crazy over his new dinosaurs and his new 4 wheeler. Mommy got an amazing pair of moccasins, some records, some clothes, and a sweeeet new picture to hang in my office, which is still littered in wrapping paper scraps. =)




im in the market for a new comforter and a shower curtain. I've found a lot of beautiful ones over at target and urban but the ones i like don't come in king size.... anyone know of any good places to look?

I'm undecided between these two shower curtains from urban.






theis pretty wall hanging for the house from rec room vintage


a beautiful mirror from olive someday.

walmart has some really neat floor cushions that i'd like to have around.. they come in handy when you have lots of people hanging out!

my jaw dropped when i saw these flats from modcloth. yes, they are pencil flats. =)

also from modcloth, this beautiful sweater. =)


Now that all the christmas madness is over, its time to start buying more things for the house (and maybe myself)! I'm excited!!!

p.s. i bought myself a present today. a digital camera! yay. I can't wait for it to come in the mail so i can finally start sharing my ideas/finds/creations with you all!

take care xoxo

One last day of christmas shopping... I hope.

Hopefully today my mom and I will knock out there rest of our Christmas shopping! I'm off work today! YAY! I'm excited to get to spend the day with my mom and Conrad. Then the rest of the evening will be spent making cake balls and cookies for Santa!!!



So for this weeks wednesday wishes, my number one wish is that you all have a wonderful christmas with family and friends and that we all keep in our hearts why we are celebrating. I hope you are all safe as you travel and make it back home safely!


I'm hoping to find this shirt in store for Nate. If not he may have to settle for it for his birthday the 11th. Of course I will also be buying anything and everything I see star wars related for nate and conrad. Oh how I love the boys in my life. =)

I have a few other things in mind but I dont want to list them as not to spoil the surprise so we're off to get ready and spend the day shopping. Love you all! have a merry christmas!

christmas music

(a terrible picture of our christmas tree and my homemade felt/yarn banner)

I'm about to head to work for the day but wanted to share the christmas music i've been jamming. Bright Eyes by far is my favorite. I love the holidays, but christmas music gets old after the first day. lol this is good chill christmas music without being too annoying or jolly haha.



I still have much more christmas shopping to take care of, but that how i work best, at the last minute in panic haha. so ready to make my cake balls and cookies for santa!! I'll see you on wednesday! take care!

thank you, and you. and you. oh and you.

I came across a blog the other day about thanking the people in your life that mean a lot to you in special or unique way (if that was your blog please let me know because I totally lost track of the blog). this sounded like a great idea to me. i like to surprise people and make them feel special, so this week i've had this scheme cooking up in my brain of how, when and where to do this. I encourage you all to do something similar to let everyone you know how much you appreciate them and love them, whether its just leaving a note or something. i chose post its. =)

i hid one in my husband's pocket.
while visiting family today I plan to sneak several into their vehicles, rooms, pockets, etc. i can be quite sneaky, which is funny because im so clumsy haha.

on top of that, id like to share a list of the things i am very thankful for:



1. my beautiful son. words cannot say the way you have changed my world and warmed my heart.
2. my husband: you keep me entertained. you love me unconditionally, even when im at my worst and encourage me to follow my dreams. i adore you.
3. my parents and brother. im so thankful for their help and love! i can always depend on them, whether it be for a baby sitter, a pep talk or just good company.
4. My inlaws - i married into a family that i cannot even tell you how amazing they are. the are the most kind hearted and loving people in the world.
5. my new home and life that God has given me. i feel so blessed to have moved into a home that seems so perfect for us and the new journey we are on in life.
6. my best friends, although we are all busy and are miles apart, we get each other. without you, i might be void of my sanity.
7. mexican food and coffee!
8. the freedom that i have to do the things i want and to express myself.
9. my cats, for all the giggles and cuddles.
10. all the beauty in this world that inspires me, keeps me going and pushes me to create and explore.

now i have a lot to get done. ive got a kiddo that ive gotta get into his bath and i have to try to beat the husband awake. haha. everyone be safe today on the road and get lots of food in their belly!

God bless & ta ta!

I have decided that this year I'm going to start collecting nutcrackers of all shapes, sizes and origins!

im set on knowing that i will forever be a kid, and a dream of mine is to have a photobooth in my house! a vintage one would be swell! this one is drool worthy.




A tree house for big kids, and of course the little kids too. id live in a tree house. straight up. this is dreamy.



and last but not least, my dream car.. that i will have hopefully sometime next year!
