Good morning all! Couldn’t resist throwing up a this post before I’m out the door. I mean seriously how beautiful are these DIY lanterns?!

This sounds like such a funny thing to say but I think getting chickens right now is all the rage. It’s like getting one of those mini poodle mixes that was so popular a couple years ago. I say this because I was on a Southwest Airline flight and they had an article in their magazine about all the benefits and how fun these little buggers are to raise and have as PETS. Yes pets. Well I’m going to opt out of getting them for myself and live vicariously though my friend Chrissy. But seriously, are we going to see handbags and leashes for chickens?! Am I going to see people taking their chicks shopping?!


Anywho, we had so much fun visiting the chicks. In these pictures they are just a couple of days old. Most of the pictures are of my daughter, Katelyn. The boy is my son Jacob. Yep, I barely got this photo. Between the fidgety chick and my screwwormy son it was next to impossible! I’m the gal in the last picture with Katelyn.


Oh and all the fun graphic elements like the background, title graphic background and photo frames came from the super talented and very knowledgeable Katrina of Puglypixel. She is so creative and her blog is packed to the rafters with graphics elements, tips and tricks.

OMG I mean seriously. How dang cute are these DIY projects created by Lisa Storm a professional Craft Stylist? I literally scanned every page of her blog and I don’t think there wasn’t a project I didn’t want to print out for my idea book! The lunch ideas are so creative and fun… although I must confess I felt a bit like a loser mom for packing such lame lunches!

I just love how this photograph taken by Sofia of the blog Mokkasin captures the sunlight coming in through the window and those throw pillows… TO DIE FOR. Happy Weekend!

I woke up this morning to the sun peaking in through a slat in our blinds. It was a welcoming way to wake up as we’ve had our far share of clouds recently. Any-who, it inspired me to create a post based on the color yellow which I have to say is one of my new favorite colors! Oh and also happens to be one the accent colors of my almost complete family room “refresh”. I say “refresh” because I’m in the process of swapping out old throw pillows for new ones as well as adding some window treatments and other fun finds to freshen up the room! I can’t wait to show you the big reveal! I just have to get may act together and bust out the sewing machine this weekend. Well I hope you all have yourselves a fabulous weekend.

Okay ladies, seriously I want this La Mer Collections ~ Bali Watch watch/bracelet bad! I love the rose gold watch face mixed with the strands of turquoise and chains. Hmmm, now the tough part I just need to justify it.

Good morning lovies!
I’ve been a bit busy these days between taking care of my kiddos and working on a new blog design for a client that it’s left me little time to blog. I miss you all of you and can’t wait to do the big reveal on the blog design. The design files have been handed off to the super talented Libby to code. I will post about the blog as soon as it’s complete. During bits of down time I’ve been working on sprucing up my home. Adding window treatments, swapping out pillows and finally hanging things on the walls of my daughters room! How about all of you? What type of projects have you been working on?


The above photos are from pinnings on Pinterest. I realized how much I loved the first photo when I pinned it twice so I decided to do a post based on it!

I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to check out this layout design of the anatomy of a cupcake by Allen Hemberger. It’s been floating around the internet and it’s just so dang cute I just had to share it with you all!

I don’t know about you all but the weather here in San Diego is gloomy and I’m over it! I’m craving the sun and warm weather. I thought a little color inspiration would brighten the day. I love this photograph by Millie Holloman. The pinks, light grays and violets are so yummy.
