Happy

Have you ever just felt REALLY happy!?

The kind when you know your kids are happy,

your marriage is happy,

you have an amazing family,

your home is finally coming together,

you have great friends in your life,

......and all is right in your world?!

That's how I am feeling, and I feel SO lucky!

Hope you are feeling super happy too!

Have a great weekend!

Crate and Barrel

I haven't been inside of a Crate and Barrel since I was getting married and stalking my wedding registry! I used to stop by almost daily on my lunch break to pull out the register gun and start shooting away!

I recently received a catalog in the mail and fell in love all over again!!!!!!!!

Check out all of these amazing pieces!!!!!!!



Reget Dinnerware! LOVE the color! I wouldn't even want a whole set, just a few to add to my table and to showcase in my hutch! Beautiful!




Raya Chips and Dip ($29) I actually have this in a similar pattern and I LOVE it! I LOVE putting it out on Cindo De Mayo and any backyard bbq!

These Sorbet cups and Spoons are WAY TOO CUTE! At $2.95 each I might just make the 45 min hike to the store to get some! I am a sucker for a great ice cream bowl, AND it comes with the matching spoon!




Loire Plates in yellow are just really sweet!





and the Fish Plates look super fun too at just $4.95 each!






I have been in the market for one of these for over a year. I just haven't LOVED any of them enough, but I think this one might be "it"!

I have an Ice Cream making little party coming up, and so I think I might need to stock up on a few of these goodies!

Enjoy!

Slightly Tempting

I am off to Cosi today for a lunch date with a great friend and her 3 week old baby girl! I am super excited!

I received an email from Cosi about their new summer drinks and I am tempted to try the habanero lemonade just to see what it is like!

On thursday they are giving them away for FREE from 2pm to 4pm, so that might be a great chance to check it out and not feel too bummed if I have to turn around and dump it out!

Must be a new "combo" because Crate and Barrel is selling Jalapeno Lemonade! Hmm....that might make a good cocktail!

Spring Cleaning

I LOVE when things FINALLY come together!

I have had a picture cut out from a Pottery Barn catalog from about 4 years ago in my "dream book" and just couldn't commit to putting shelves up!

Now that the shelves are up......I have NO idea why I waited so long! I am LOVING them!


We purchased this Pottery Barn console table 5 years ago and I absolutely LOVE it! I have all of the art supplies that I don't want my kids to be "alone with" in the playroom upstairs neatly in the baskets below.

I purchased the shelves at Ikea this past week and I couldn't be more happy!

I am switching up the everything on the shelf daily...and I think it is going to be fun to update it!

My whole house is getting a "spring" face lift, and I will be posting pics soon!!!! I am sooo thrilled with how it is all shaping up!

The Smell of Spring

I LOVE the smell of cupcakes!

I think that cupcakes smell like Spring!

I have NO clue why, but I just feel like cakes/pies are for the winter and fall and cupcakes are for the spring/summer! (could be because flowers make me sneeze....so I hardly get to really smell the joy of spring!)

I got these super cute candles from Target yesterday! They were under $5! AND SMELL LIKE FRESH BAKED VANILLA CUPCAKE! MMMMM!!!!!!


I wanted a little color on it, so i just took a Sharpie marker and drew on them! Might play around with a few more this weekend!


Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!!!!

Happy Earth Day!!!!!

Every year I try to plant something on Earth Day to get my kids excited about it! I usually go with the tiny little packs of seeds, but they NEVER grow and my kids have decided that I have no idea what I am doing! (which MAY or MAY NOT be true!)


SO.....this year we decided to buy an actual plant to put in a pot!







I went for the cheap plastic container and fully intend on covering the plant tomorrow with a plastic bag and spray painting the outside of the pot in either white, light yellow, or blue! (decided that I should probably lay off the spray paint on Earth Day!)

We also bought some little kits with seeds for the kids to try out again! This time they came with the dirt, and all the directions, so if they don't grow I am NOT going to be blamed!




(did not buy enough dirt.....so I will be secretly going out there tonight to raise the plant and fill in more dirt!)

Hope you all had a wonderful day!!!!!!

Beyond

Maybe I am late on the news....but I was SUPER excited to see that Bed Bath and Beyond has Amy Butler bedding and towels! I LOVE her fabric!!!!!

There are a few items available online, but I am going to make a trip to the actual store today to see if they have any more goodies!

This just made my Monday soooo much better!!!!!
