Happy Weekend Everyone!!

Looks like we will be getting a little snow tomorrow for this pre-Valentine's Day weekend and since the Tall-One received a cord of wood in his stocking this Christmas, it's the perfect time to snuggle in tight with the one's you love, a cup of cocoa in hand, while lounging in front of a roaring fire.

Speaking of Love...
I will be putting the finishing touches on Spring and Silas's Save the Date, which will hopefully arrive at their guest's doorstep right on Valentine's Day!

Speaking of Valentine's Day...
The Monster and I will be creating at least 30 of them for his friends and teachers at school...

Last year, we came up with these beauties...
This year...well this year I can't tell you yet....
But if you can guess the theme...
I will personally send one to you!
(hint: it's what the Monster likes to do with the Tall One)

Happy Guessing!!!

Stay Safe, Make a Snow Angel and Have a Great Weekend!!

a little glitter to start your week......

The various hues of sea glass instantly transport me to Summer..
How fabulously gorgeous is this Sea Glass Cuff from Bhldn???
However, it definitely carries a hefty price tag...

  
Luckily, this fabulous necklace was spotted on Target's Spring Look Book....
 
But then my heart skipped a beat...
when I saw this Flowered Dais Ring at Bhldn
only to discover these two little gems for under $5.00
Rhinestone Flower Ring at Forever 21

Silver/Turquoise Flower Ring at SW Trading

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!

Well I am certainly no Jackie O and the Monster is absolutely no Caroline Kennedy....
but 
after the big yellow bus drops him off, we will be heading over to the studio for some
one on one painting.

It is one of my New Year's resolutions to set a date with him at least once a month to get dirty, get creative and get our art on!

After....
I have made an early Valentine's evening treat for my boys...

Short Ribs via the Crock Pot, 
blazing fire in the fireplace and 
some Hugh Jackson in Real Steel...
Can it honestly get more manly?

Just another one of my New Year's resolutions..
to show my boys how much I love them and how much I appreciate their love and the amazing things ALL 4 do to take care of their "Mamacita"
(we have now gone from mama, mommy, mom to "mamacita" which always seems to be sing-sung)

Saturday..

We'll be heading down to the court to watch the Monster in some serious B-Ball action...

After..
I have a little surprise for him...
I rented that insanely silly Just Dance 3 game for Wii..
Somehow, somewhere I gave birth to a Break Dancer...
He has had moves since he was 4
and recently brought them out at a family wedding this past summer..

Then out to a family dinner....
Monster's pick....
Hope he chooses Milagros..

Sunday...

The Monster gets to stuff himself silly with cake and ice cream at a friends birthday party...
only to come home with eyes bigger than saucers to
sit and watch...
Well, That's at least what I'll be watching...

Be Safe, Cheer for the Team Who Wears Blue and 
Have a Great Weekend!!

Nuttin like a Button.....

 I have had serious button-on-the-brain since designing Eleanor & Matt's Save the Date.
It just so happens that we are in the process of taking over and re-dressing our home... which means...I have been on the search for some fabulous throw pillows to liven this joint up!

I am LOVING Home Centric's pillows & pillow covers on Etsy.
The BEST part...she has categorized them by color so it's super deliciously easy to find exactly the hue you want!
