Lately

I participated in the Scarf Swap hosted by Meredith. LOVE the scarf my partner sent//Emmett feels the need to drag out every.single.one. of his toys//Best cake I've made in awhile!  So fall!//Trying to catch up on the Woodland Sampler, so behind!

Cake & coffee for breakfast//First day that I was able to have my windows open all day!//Season 6 finally came out!  Its been on repeat every night.//Hiking & geocaching with my boys over the weekend!

Also, funny story.  The other morning Sky got up for work and went to let Emmett out (like every other day) he turned the back patio light on, opened the door, and saw a opossum hiding out in the corner! Emmett ran off like a crazy dog, sky yelled, woke me up and I ran out of the bedroom like the house was on fire.  I found Sky laughing out on the patio telling me all about the opossum. Uh huh, that's all normal and funny but Sky says "Wouldn't have been hilarious if the opossum ran in the house?!" umm...yeah...so funny.  People, don't ever say that. That's just asking for trouble.  Well, its 5 in the morning and I want to go back to bed but Emmett wont quit doing this ^^  Whining and sniffing and running around the bedroom. And guess what?  Yup, there's a opossum under our dresser.  Let me just say that it is STRESSFUL trying to get a opossum out of your house.  Using a broom and a blanket we finally got him but dang!  Emmett searched for him for days!  Anyway, I digress.  Hope you are all having a great day!

Lately

 New comforter for our bed//Birchbox ALWAYS sends red lipstick...finally starting to wear some of it// Overwhelmed by all the Project Life options!

Sky went to the flea market this morning and came home with a brand new sewing machine and bagels from Panera.  Dang, I love him.

I have also recently discovered the wonderful website Twice. Its pretty much a consignment store that you can shop online. LOVE! I seriously at any given moment have about 5 pairs of jeans in my shopping cart, I just cant decide!  Here is a link you can use to get started, you get a $10 credit just for signing up! (which pretty much equals a new top!)

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Christmas in July

New Pom Pom Garland

Lots of lovin for the boy!  

And then right after, he thought it was play time when I tried to snuggle.  Typical. 

Trying out new restaurants! Loved that this place had a long beer list and water was served in big mason jars!

Oh boy am I so glad its almost the weekend!! Starting on Monday, I start a new semester of school with a class that is Monday and Wednesday 5:30-8. Well this wouldn't be so bad except that Sky has a night class on Tuesday and Thursday which basically means that the only time we will get to see each other is the weekend!  As much as its going to suck, it makes me treasure the time I do get to spend with him even more.

Wow so apparently I went on a little bloggy vacation. Sorry bout that, it has been DIY central around here (which means awesome new project but slacker blogging). Also, its been raining. Rain is like my kryptonite, in a good way.  All I want to do when it rains is sit on my back porch reading a book, listening to the tap tap tap of the drops on the grass in front of me and smelling that wonderful rain smell.  I have devoured so many books in the past couple weeks!  One of my favorite things to do is cross off another book on my to read list. If you are on Goodreads (and you so should be) you can check out my to read list here.  

Lots of snuggles with my favorite boy//Organizing thread for a big cross stitch project// Yummy Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake//Found an old journal full of quotes I started awhile ago. Decided to add a few new favorites.

New king size bed, woohoo!!// Always have dessert with lunch when you're out with your girlfriends// Lazy bum waiting to go for a walk// In love with this retro fabric from Joann's. I have to figure out where I can use this at in my home!

Cross stitch deer head finally hanging on my wall, adds a ton of rustic charm!// Latte pick me ups in cute Anthropologie mugs// The hardest workers take the cutest naps : )// Finally jumped on the Archetype band wagon and these were my results. I would say pretty accurate!
