Wedge Love

As you well know...I have a addiction and it's name is Target.

Yup, it's true. There is noway to deny it. Ask my hubs. I have

been really good and only go there 2 times a week now. I use

to go every other day. My mind tells me that I need to buy

something in every section. "It's a sickness". Where else can

you go and buy 3 Summer Wedges for $85? Oh, and pick up

a pair of sandals for my girl. Go to Target and get yourself

some shoes. Hehe.

Morning View

This is how I like to have my mornings. Simple pleasures are

are the best! I hope you all have a beautiful day.

FOREVER 21 Loot

I love expensive jewelry just like every other girl....But, I don't

like wearing it everyday...for the fear of losing it. I never can

walk past a Forever 21 store. They have the best inexpensive

jewelry. The above pic is what I bought the other day. I think

it's time you head on over to the mall and buy yourself some

goodies. Happy Friday!

Well, hello.

I'd like to introduce you to my new BFF, she does not have

a name yet...but, I'm open to suggestions. For now, I just

call her pretty. She was an Christmas present from Santa.

It's been so much fun playing with her. I bought her a super

cute camera strap from Etsy, she like's it. I can't wait to show

you what we have been up to.

Happy New Year!!!

Here is a little peak of what our evening will look like...

Wishing everyone a safe, happy and wonderful New Year's Eve!

May all your dreams come true in 2011!

$50 Pottery Barn Giveaway!!!

This is my first giveaway. I just wanted to thank all the

great people who have stopped by my little blog and

showed me blog love. When I first started blogging it was

for me to have a creative outlet and for my children to

maybe one day look back at our lives and see all the things

we have done and recipes they can carry on.

The one thing I never expected was the friendship's that

would come along because of blogging. I'm grateful and

you have made my heart bigger. The Giveaway is my way

of saying, Thank you. Whether you have been with me

from the start or just today.

All you have to do to win is....You must follow my blog to enter

and just leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite

holiday food is..... A winner will be chosen one week from

today. Good luck. I know we all LOVE Pottery Barn!!

Tis The Season

Tis The Season.....for Eggnog Lattes and Cranberry Bliss

Bars. Today the shopping season for me officially begins.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Happy Friday!

Wishing everyone a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

Did you get yours? I got mine!

That is the latest Ina Garten Cookbook. I swear to

you that I feel like a 14 old waiting in line to get a

Harry Potter book. The joy that comes over me!

This is her 7th cookbook and it is just as amazing

as the rest. Sometime's, I day dream that I'm invited

to her house in the Hampton's for dinner and I get to

hang out with all her Fab friends and eat the best food

and laugh over cocktails. A girl can dream right?

Fall

Happy first day of Fall!! I love this time of year. The smells. The
air. It's time to break out the scarves, sweaters, cute boots and
start baking some amazing goodies. I see lot's of pies and hearty
soups in my future. Do you love this time of year?

It's also time to head to Starbucks and enjoy Pumpkin Spice Latte's
and warm Apple Fritter's. Be still my heart!

Anthropologie Love

I love cute and useful things in the kitchen. Yesterday

I went to Anthropologie and was giddy like a school girl

when I saw the most charming measuring spoons and

cups. I have always wanted a glass egg holder and I saw

this one in my favorite color! So Happy! Go get yourself

some pretties!!

Packed

Happy Friday Everyone!! We are beach bound for the
weekend!! Pics soon.

Cute Cupcake Liners

I went to Michael's today "love that place" and
bought the cutest cupcake liners. They have tons
of them with fabulous colors and designs!! It's the
the little things that bring me great joy......
