Happy Spring

(Source)
It's here! It's finally here. Spring that is. I know I'm a few days late, but I just wanted to wish everyone a happy spring. By the way, how cute is that porcelain take out box vase from the Beau-Coup website.

Stay tuned for a post about my very busy but fulfilling past weekend.

Random Thought Thursday

Ok I know I was supposed to post this on Tuesday, but guess who forgot to stop at the store and get more Sleepy Time tea. Yea that would be me. The random thought for Tuesday was:

How do you tell when Blue Cheese goes bad? I mean it's already blue and kind of stinky. Any thoughts?

Sleepy Time Tuesday

Keep an eye out for my a weekly post called...ype you guessed it Sleepy Time Tuesday. This will be my random thoughts/questions brought on by drinking Sleepy Time Tea. 

Tonight's thought - are hubbies pj pants more comfortable than mine because 1) They are truly more comfortable, or 2) Simply because they are hubbies? 

Haha told you they would be random. Any thoughts?

Kierstyn's First Birthday

I have been so lucky this past year to watch this Kierstyn grow up. Not only have I been lucky to be part of her life, but I'm truly fortunate to count her parents as great friends. Back in February, Kierstyn turned one. Below are a few shots from her party. All pics by me. 

Instead of covering herself with cake, she ate it with a fork. 

Julia and Clint - aren't they adorable?

These two have such a sweet bond. 

Is she not just the cutest baby you have ever seen? She almost always has a smile on her face. 

Fly



"Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far far away." Today the sun is out. The birds are chirping, and I can hear kids out on the playground. Yep it's one of those glorious end of winter days in the South. The type that will fool you into thinking that Spring has arrived. The good news is that Spring is right around the corner. I am looking forward to warmer weather, flip flops, sundresses, and the countdown to summer!!

Today I would like to encourage you to fly. I was watching a Harry Potter movie for a brief second. I cannot even begin to explain how out of character this is, but there was a line that caught my attention. Hermione tells Harry that he is crazy to chase after this kid because "You can't even fly." Harry jumps on his broom and takes off anyway. What a great lesson in life! Most people would have put their broom down and said your right what am I thinking.

I encourage you don't let other people discourage you. One of the greatest things I learned in college was that I am the solely in charge of changing my circumstances. So today I encourage to pick up your broom and fly - ok not literally, but whatever your dream is today pursue it. Don't let anyone stop you especially don't allow yourself to get in the way!!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm off to enjoy the gorgeous weather. I hope you get the chance to do the same.

Clutch This




Recently a friend has turned me on to the perfection that is a clutch. It really is the perfect bag for going out with girlfriends, a cocktail party, or wedding. I'm loving these gorgeous beauties from Beegee Bags. They would both look great with dressy jeans, heels, and an adorable top. Plus they would be equally perfect with a cocktail dress.

Sleepy Time Tea

I'm sitting here drinking sleepy time tea while the pup pretends to kill my shoe. Yes my shoe is in fact being murdered by a four pound puppy. What can I say she is tough. lol The fact is I'm letting my shoe die because I'm just too tired to get up and fight her for it. I don't know if this is do to the extremely long day that I've had or the sleepy time tea that I'm drinking. Anyone else drink sleepy time tea? I'm curious if it truly makes me sleepy because it's just that good, or if it's because I'm actually taking time to sit down and drink a warm decaffeinated drink? Any thoughts? 

Paler Shade of Gray

I hear that Spring weather is on the way and should arrive this weekend. If wishes could come true, I would have this gorgeous gray creation to run around town.
