Oy. Mondays never get easier. Actually, they might be getting worse. I’ll have to keep an eye on that. This weekend was…fantastic. Truly! I learned an incredibly valuable lesson on Sunday: sometimes…..not showering, not changing out of your pajamas, not putting on an ounce of makeup and spending the day on the couch eating (a lot), watching football and playing Candy Crush is the most fun a 26-year-old young lady can have. Of course it helps that I had my adorable husband,… Read more »

Yo. Happy Friday!! I’m going to skip the jabber and just go ahead and share my favorite internet finds of the week! 😉 1. Favorite Song: Kelly Clarkson’s new video for her song “Tie It Up”. Instant good mood, I promise. Plus she just looks like she is having so much fun singing this song!! 2. Favorite Funny: Someecards “Better Like Button” options. I wanted to pin the whole page, really, I did. But I sat there and giggled insanely… Read more »

Happy Friday!! My week has been incredible, truly!! I found strength this week that I didn’t even know I had…& I stood up for myself in ways I didn’t even think were possible. Sometimes putting someone in their place (I’m talking a someone who really, really deserves it) can be the most freeing & exhilarating experience!! I wish I could share every detail of my life with those of you reading…but I think that would get me in trouble, so… Read more »

  When H&M announced that online is finally available..I did a heck of a happy dance. Like one of my best happy dances ever. H&M has been one of my favorite stores since I was a freshman in college visiting Chicago for the first time. I spent hours wandering around H&M and even after I dropped wayyy too much money there was so much left that I wanted!! Of course being young and naive I thought I would just check… Read more »

I realize that I’m late, but my weekend was just too much fun and perfection for 3 days…I really needed an extra day to process! My husband Andrew and I spent the entire weekend in Okoboji, IA celebrating the wedding of our best friends. Obviously…I knew beforehand that the weekend was going to be one of absolute bliss…but my expectations were met, obliterated and then continuously exceeded throughout the entire weekend. The bride was gorgeous…I’m talking light up an entire… Read more »

Have I mentioned yet how much I love music? Well, if I haven’t….I really, really love it. Let’s go ahead and put music right after coffee on my priority list! That being said…I spend an abnormal amount of time browsing Spotify and creating, what I believe to be, the best playlists ever. I create a playlist for everything…I mean, everything. I have cleaning playlists, bath playlists, car washing playlists, craft playlists, blog playlists, running playlists, cheer the hell up playlists….I… Read more »

Well, that was the most beautiful weekend…ever. The weather was outrageously perfect and despite Andrew and I’s battle with allergies, every window in the house remained open the entire time. I learned something important this weekend; I believe it is a lesson that I am continually learning in several aspects of my life….and that lesson is… Keep It Simple. Why is that such a difficult concept for me to hang on to? It seems I have learned it a thousand… Read more »

Happy Friday!! Here are my favorite internet finds from the week. 1. Laughing Lottery Winner. I’m pretty sure that this lady is my soul mate, because if I won a million dollars all I would be able to do is laugh and smile. If you haven’t seen this yet…I dare you to watch it without giggling along. Seriously.   2. Favorite eCard of the week. So. Accurate. 😉                     3. Flula. He… Read more »

Our blue door is the highlight of my year….I mean, other than marrying the love of my life, spending two weeks together in Maui and being a newlywed……but next to that, definitely the highlight of my year!! 🙂 We began our blue door adventure at a Benjamin Moore color store; I am aware that going there was not our most cost effective solution, but this was our first real painting project and we were so unclear on the color that… Read more »

Happy Monday!! That was a joke, I think Mondays suck for everyone even those that don’t have to stumble into work. The day just has a bad aura around it. Lucky for me, my weekend was fabulous though it was extremely mild, tame and definitely reflective of increase in age. Andrew was off of work but unfortunately, “on call”….meaning he spent most of the time being called into work or assisting employees on the phone so I kind of did… Read more »
