Snapshots....

How i adore black and white photos-

They are simply stunning!!!

No matter if they are past or present.

Could you imagine not seeing in color-

Like the movie "Pleasantville"...

How terrible i would think :(

I enjoy beautiful rainbows...sunlight...

Butterflies...paintings...etc.

What is one thing you LOVE in color?

(Google)

Silly girls...

This is me in the morning :)

Messy hair...snuggled under the covers...

Wishing i didn't have to get up yet.

What Time Is It....

When i needed the time i didn't have it :(

Sadly this weekend my watch died.

Thankfully it was purchased at Nordi's...

And we all know their great service skills.

My hubby purchased my watch 2 years ago-

Yesterday we took it in and they swapped it.

Due to them not selling my style any more-

They gave me a BRAND NEW...

Michele Deco Diamond watch.

Oh how happy it made me!!!

{No questions asked...no money owed}

...I LOVE THIS STORE...

Vintage Beauty....

Oh the days of the past-
Such classic beauties...
With style...grace and poise!!!

The typical housewife attire shown above-
Not so practical these days...
But...well put together!!!
Simply classic and an era i'd live in :)

Permanently Mine....

As i get older...

I come to appreciate literature more.

Each day i read and it's amazing-

There's quotes that relate in more ways.

One in particular that stuck is this...

"That which we call a rose by any

other name would smell as sweet."

-William Shakespeare-

It's a personal meaning i take to heart-

Now and forever it's always with me.

{Look at all those freckles}

Spread The Word....

Ok...So i'll admit i'm addicted-

To the computer that is!!!

So i'm hopping on the bandwagon.

Join me and many others tomorrow-

Lets unplug our technology :)

No using the computer...tv....etc...

For one full day.

I'm already starting to plan-

It's a pizza and scrabble night :)

The kids will play Twister of course!!!

Maybe put together a puzzle or two.

{Who knows...Maybe bake some cookies}

Got any ideas?

If Only....

I'm a BIG dreamer...

Your imagination is endless!!!

To escape and make it real-

How exciting would that be?

Just one day that's all i would ask.

Clean & Simple....

(Jacqalicious)

White simply goes with everything...
It can make a space look elegant yet refined.
Has to be the easiest color to fall back on-
Especially when in doubt :)

Combined with neautrals it's very...

Feminine & girly!!!

{I want this headboard}

(Jacqalicious)

Most popular in bathrooms...
It's definately a color that POPS!!!
So clean and bright to the eye.
{I can't wait to put up our bead-board}

Similar colors and bold graphics-

Lots of antiques...and VOILA...

My idea of a home in a nutshell.

Less Mess....

How fun...fun...fun...

Less mess than tissue paper-

And more colorful indeed!!!

No longer a sight for sore eyes :)

This is a mess i'd leave for days.

What would we call it...Ballooning?

None For Me....

(We Heart It)

Some can take it and some just can't...

I however CAN NOT unfortunately :(

{I'm refering to medication}

After surgeries...Oh that's the worst!!!

I wish i could be on cloud nine with no pain.

Maybe if i laid on this rug i would be (?)

Such A Girl....

Today i'm feeling very girlie...

Maybe it's just that time (?)

{Where i'm overly sensitive}

Whatever the case...

It's a PINK day for me :)

What a beautiful entry way...

{Etched glass windows and all}

As a little girl i believed in fairies...

Time to share the secret with my daughter :)

Every girl needs a special place...

I enjoy getting ready in the mornings!!!

So this would be my sanctuary.

(We Heart It)

First But Not Last....

What a wonderful...memorable night-

It all began in the bath-tub.

My daughter lost her FIRST tooth :)-

She is all smiles...

More than eager to show everyone.

Guess who'll be visiting tonight?

(Google)

Then my wonderful husband...

He brought me home another surprise!!!

All i see is a brown paper bag...

Then he pulls out...Just what i wanted :)

Trader Joe's chocolate covered bananas.

{4 boxes should last a while}

They were a craving i had years ago-

When i was pregnant with my son.

{Oh it's been so long since i've had one}

What a perfect way to end the night-

Gotta go eat one!!!

Thinking Green....

I really hope you're wearing GREEN today...

Or you might be getting pinched!!!

I never really liked that rule...It hurts :(

To keep with the spirit and all-

Here are a few images to enjoy!!!

Think they are Irish?

Every shade of green imaginable...



This rocker is adorable!!!

...HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY...

Another Usual Day....

(We Heart It)

There's something about this rain...

At times i think it's peaceful.

If you would have asked me 5 years ago-

I'd have moved in a heartbeat.

But now...It's a part of nature...

A part of this green state i call home.

Of course there are times i'd prefer the sun.

{Like NOW would be ok}

I mean...It's March-

Isn't spring suppose to be happening?

Just this weekend we had snow :(

Thank goodness for rainbows...

Me & my kids enjoy chasing them!!!
