missing...

a skinny, red-headed, southern girl. She talks A LOT and sometimes speaks at such a fast rate, her rambles can often be mistaken as incoherent jargon. Do not be frightened by this Texan gal...she can easily be appeased by pretty patterns and "dusty" items. If you have seen this friend of mine, please, send her my way!

living the wasted life

Yes, I am afraid that I have been wasting a bit of my life away by decluttering and organizing. With two fast-growing, high maintenance kiddos {wonder where they get that from?!} we have accumulated more toys and clothes than I ever imagined owning! And with the weather getting nice, I somehow feel the need to get organized. I even bought some cute accessories to help me get organized {in style of course!}...like a new desk and other small office items. Hopefully all the new gear will motivate me to STAY organized!

I'm baaack!

But please do not ask where I have been, I honestly could not give you an answer! I have been busy, but it is very pathetic that I just started this blog and have already felt the need to take a break.
I feel as though I have to show you all something productive I did while I was {mentally} away...and this was all I could come up with!! Yes, I made a memory board. Please try to contain your excitement. Although, I must say, the fabric is pretty gorgeous- so you can get excited about that!

I apologize to my loyal {3} readers, I am officially back now!

latest obsession

Actually, I have been obsessed for quite some time, but with Mother's Day approaching, I have been a little more obsessed than usual. These beauties are the incredible work of Heather Moore, an artist that is based right here in Cleveland, Ohio! Check out some of this scrumptious eye candy...I love that you can personalize these pieces right down to the color of the stones! There are different styles of tags that are hand stamped with anything your little heart could possibly desire...imagine the possibilities!

I personally have been dreaming of a tag for each of my little muffins...with their name {or monogram} on the front, and their birth date on the back. Plus, there is always room to add more charms!

So, why don't I just stop whining and go buy them you ask? Well, I am afraid that like everything else my eyes gravitate towards, they are a little out of my budget! That doesn't mean I have to stop dreaming {or begging for them}. I suppose it is a good thing that I only have two children!

looking for love...

And I must be looking in all the wrong places! I recently bought this gorgeous desk for my "office" {which I will share with you soon}, and now my desk is in desperate need of a fabulous, ultra femme chair to match. I have the perfect vision in my head, but just cannot seem to find that vision anywhere! Ugh, that is the story of my life. I just need something pink and/or turquoise in a great pattern, a monogram, and a ruffle...is that too much to ask for?!PB Teen has some cute chairs that I could "embellish" and make my own. How cute would this chair be with a monogram right in the middle of some pink damask?? And this little beauty could use a monogram and some ruffles...plus it would be fun to swivel and slide around on! However, I am not sure my budget can handle buying a $300 chair, only to embellish it. What ever is a girl to do?

a joyous easter

Happy Easter to you all! I thought I would take a moment to share a few of our Easter moments...Miss Hannah and Mr. Jackson have been so cute enjoying their Easter so far. They decided to check if their baskets were delivered around 6:30 a.m.. It is a good thing that bunny was smart and delivered baskets and hid eggs right around 6:20 a.m. {talk about a close call}!

Check out the baskets filled with all kinds of goodies...

How sweet are these two?!

And here I am with my two favorite little people!

Hope you all had extra special visits from the Easter bunny & are enjoying all your Easter festivities!

the perfect ending

It is finally Friday....I felt like this day would never come! It has been one of those weeks around here, so when I woke up this morning, I was thrilled to finish the work week. And what exactly would be the perfect ending to a not-so-perfect week you ask yourself??Ok, ok... I am being completely sarcastic, and no this is not actually MY car. I did, however, hit the biggest pothole this morning that blew my tire instantly! This picture is only what I imagined the pothole looked like. I had a super nice guy at work change my tire for me {in the freezing cold}....only to leave work with my spare tire flat! Ugh, I guess my week could have been worse, but it also could have been a heck of a lot better. Here's to a good, pothole-free week ahead!
