I need a drink!!!!


I LOVE how my wedding was, and all of the little touches that were so personal!

BUT.....

I wish that I could go back and redo some things! I would plan my whole wedding around etsy finds!

Check out these super cute stir sticks that my friend, Ashley, is making in her new etsy shop!

Check them out at Lemon and Lavender Designs!!!!! She custom designs wedding invites, save the dates, birth announcements, birthday invites, custom logo design, and everything in between!

I think they just make the drink look like it tastes better!!!!!!

Here is a little drink recipe that I got from CELEBRATE magazine!!!!!! I can't wait to make my "test batch" before Easter dinner! (of course I am going to test it prior to serving! :)

Citrus White Wine Spritzer
2 (1/4-inch-thick) lemon slices
2 (1/4-inch-thick) lime slices
ice cubes
1/2 cup Penot Grigio or other white wine
1/4 cup Lemon-Lime-Flavored seltzer water

In a large stemmed glass, arrange lemon slices and lime slices between ice cubes to fill the glass. pour wine and setzer water over fruit and ice. Stir, and serve immediately!


MMMMM!!!!!!!!
ENJOY!

Spring is in the Air!!!!

Today is absolutely BEAUTIFUL outside!!!! You might think it is always beautiful in Tampa, but we have had a VERY cold winter! I mean, VERY cold!

This beautiful weather is making me feel like I need to get going in my backyard! We recently had it fenced in, so now I really feel like it is my little oasis!

I received an email today with some of the new outdoor goodies at Ikea, and I was really impressed with a few things! This year, I think I need a few lounge chairs!


Ikea= Hallo Outdoor Cushion $12.99




Ikea Applaro Lounge Chair = $129.00










Ikea= Amerro Lounge Chair with Cushion! = 169.00









Ikea= Solar Power Lighting = $9.99





Ikea= Solig Solar Power Hanging lamps!!! = $19.99


I might just have to swing on by there to test them out!!!!!

My Happy Place


If you do not own the Latte Bowls from Anthropology.....You Should Go Get Some!!!!!! I have them in turquoise and they make EVERYTHING taste better!!!!!

My morning yogurt with granola tastes better because of them!
My afternoon ice cream tastes better because of them!
My chicken stir fry I had for dinner tasted better because of them!
My after dinner ice cream tastes better because of them!

I owe it all to these bowls!

I only have two of them and I wash them several times a day because they are the only bowls I want to use! I think it is time I rewarded myself with a set of 6!!!!!

I mean, I owe it to my ice cream!

New Additions

I have been CRAZY BUSY lately!!!!! Between my kids starting soccer, the time change, my husband getting in a car accident the EXACT day that we wrote our LAST car payment (not his fault, and he is okay...car....not so much!), St. Patrick's day party....and life...I feel like I am running around in circles!!!!!


Here are some pictures of the new cases in my shop! I am excited with how they turned out!!!!

!
I love having a print on my pillow cases...but this ruffle one looks SO nice behind another case! I have these EVERYWHERE!
Gotta love a good ticking stripe!
This isn't a new design....but with the BEAUTIFUL weather lately.....I feel like pulling out my summer cases again!

I LOVE seahorses....and I am loving it in this blue!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLD THIS...

I went on a fun date with some friends and their kiddos today and stopped off at a few stores! I am in SERIOUS need of some new spring clothes!

Here is the jacket that is on HOLD at Forever 21 for me! Yes, I had to put it on HOLD because their system broke down and no purchases could be made for an hour!

Most people might take that as a sign to just put the clothes back and walk away......NOT me!
I am heading back as soon as Collin is up from his nap! Sometimes you just have days where a nice new jacket makes you feel better!

Snazzy Little Dresser!

I have been SOOO busy and overwhelmed lately....but these pictures bring a huge smile to my face!!!!!

I do not know any other 3 year old boys that picks out his clothes to look like his dad even when we are just going to the park! (although my husband doesn't wear a hat to work....crocs......or leave his top button undone)

Such a snazzy little guy!


ha!!!! His face melts my heart!


Thank goodness he claims that he is going to marry his big sister or me!
My little girl is growing up SOO fast!
This is her claim to fame!
Don't think that his outfit is going to slow him down! Nothing will!!!
Love her!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to keep her at this stage for a bit longer!
Now this takes some serious style to pull off!!!! Try to see if you could get away with this! :)
