journaling- lots of competing these days. it seems like it’s all about who can get there faster. jump higher, sing louder, hug harder, clean faster, bathe first, eat faster, splash harder…so much yelling, shoving, crying, tattling. but also so many sweet moments. the calm in a sea of pink.

papers, epoxy embellishments- scalloped trim- gcd studios (homespun chic)

labels, butterflies- jenni bowlin

alphabet- american crafts

pearls- kaisercraft

happy happy sunday, beautiful friends! xoxo

take one bb, who is majorly creative and loves

to plan fun adventures for the girls

 

 

add  one new haircut (lost some MAJOR length that was dragging me down)

 

add one new cute top and makeup:

 

throw in a ridiculously handsome man who wanted to take me out on the town:

 

add it all together and you’ve got date night. pure happiness.

just delicious.

 

sidenote…pretty sure sadie didn’t recognize me. ha! that’s what happens when you take off the glasses and take down the ponytail.

hope you are all having a wonderful friday…its almost 80 degrees here, and speaking of 80’s, we have an 80’s themed party tonight. More themes. YES!!!!

i have five words for you:

fuschia and black zebra print.

WHEEEE!

see you soon!!

Harper had her first soccer game this weekend. bless her sweet little heart…i think it was a tad overwhelming.

at first she was super excited AND ‘ashion- see those pink socks?? 😉

then when the game started she got a little concerned and bewildered:

and then she had a wee breakdown.

oh my. my heart? was hurting.

apparently i was the same way. my mom once came to pick me up from swim lessons to find me hiding under a towel asleep. she says i just didn’t want to “get my face wet”. hahahahhahah.

but after a pep talk from daddy:

she was ready to go. ROCK STAR!

here’s to hoping that next week is a little less scary. 🙂

so proud of my girl for toughing it out!!

 

see you soon!

before i go, i want to remind you that the studio calico april sneaks are up.

 

go check them out! and while you are there, take a look at the pink slip stamps (the ones that are about to be discontinued):

 

and one LAST thing, there’s a big giveaway on the SC blog:

 

okay. i know that’s a lot to cram into a post, but i had a lot to share!

see you soon!

***thanks for your emails about the carseat. i will definitely tighten the latch on sadie’s so it doesn’t even move. and i know the belts weren’t tight enough…we weren’t going anywhere…i was just taping them. off to tighten the seat!***

harper has LOVED this shins song (sleeping lessons) since she was a little girl.

and she’s done this out of control dance to it for a loooong time. she used to call it BIG LOUD!!! when she was a baby b/c she’d wait for the “loud part” to start dancing.

they do it in the back seat every time we listen to this CD, and it makes me GRIN every single time…

anyway, thought you could use the smile today.

several points i’d like to discuss:
a. i was NOT driving. we were in the driveway and i was like a pretzel in the front seat, so that i could tape it. hence the shaking.

b. i don’t think any brains were scrambled in this process. you never know, though…that’s serious dancing.

c. ignore the nose picking.

d. sorry for the looooongest intro ever. but miss fancy pants H would NOT let me tape unless i did it the “real way”…from the very beginning.

e. another sorry for my high pitched spazzy voice. sometimes i get very overly excited/hyper.

happy almost friday. wheeeeee!!!
