on some recent favorites...

1/ Loving bright red hair in curlymessypigtails! Messy pigtails have been my lazy day attire. It just feels right :) 

2/ Bakedbree-- a new favorite food blog. Lovely desserts like the one above and scrumptious meals as well. Not going to lie, this morning I spent a good twenty minutes paging through her whole blog swooning over every single thing. She also has a personal blog that has the prettiest photography. I love discovering new blogs!

3/ Speaking of swoon...wait, let me just wipe the drool of my chin. Robert Pattinson will forever have my heart. Sorry husband. 

4/ I saw this video on Sometimes Sweet and had to share it. Very sweet.

5/ Not sure the source of this photo but seriously her hair is amazing! This might just be my next hair color :) What do ya think?

on things I love...

Okay so it's July? Really? You are kidding me right? I feel like I just flew back from Seattle after getting married to the love of my life. Where did May & JUNE go? This summer is going by too quickly.

I love summer and I want it to take it's time. I can do without the days were Mr. Weather is so hot that I can't breath, my bangs are sticking to my forehead like nobodies business and I'm sweating in places I don't even want to say...Those days I can do with out. But other than that I love summer!

Aren't these Red, White and Blue Candy bars brilliant?! I wanted to die and when I saw these. Love love love. Definitely going to try this out next July 4th :) By the way, Cherry Tea Cakes blog has wonderful fun dessert recipes. Check it out, I want to make everything. 

I love this MAN! Can you say mouth-watering?! Mhhmm. I am so happy True Blood is back! Mainly so I can see this face every Sunday. I die :D And yes, I am a Truebie & proud of it. 

This bedding set. It's beautiful. I would like to brighten up my room with it :)

Love this wonderful picnic basket and this picnic shindig. I need this, it would inspire me to enjoy more picnics. 

I love this book. Seriously so good! It took me a while to finally get through it because I started it right before the wedding and had no time to really put a dent in it until the week after I got home. I won't lie it took a little bit of reading for me to get into it but then it was like BOOOM and I couldn't put it down. And best yet there is another book following it next year! I'm so excited for it.

Love this cute print of every possible stacking doll :) The Hungarian one is my fav. 

I heart this amazing dresser made into an island. So creative!

Last but not least...

I LOVE this beautiful women. Her birthday is tomorrow. Yes, July 4th. What a fun birthday! And she gets to spend it on Orcas Island :) Love you Love you!

This hilarious map. I laughed out loud when I saw this gem. I wish I could show case it on one of my walls! Rainy hippers- Seattle & Cheese steak- Philadelphia. Best ever.

Tuesday's episode of Glee. Loved it. It was 90 minutes long and I was in heaven. What would your shirt say?

This amazing shirt. Can you find the little owls?

This nursery is glorious. Wall paper, vintage frame & little sparrows on the ceiling! Favorite.

This picture is so funny yet so typical. Growing up I had a Dachshund & a German Short-Hair Pointer and I witnessed this exact same thing happen countless times! What a hoot.

I would kill to have a night like this under the stars. How magical. 

Finally saw Deathly Hallows and loved it! The ending was so abrupt that I was almost in tear with anticipation. Oh well, only a few months until part two.

Oh my, Strawberry Margarita Jello Shots. Must make these this summer!

Lastly I am loving that today is the first of May!

THAT IT'S FRIDAY! HURRAH :D

This picture, I think it would be such a great Easter center piece. So elegant! 

Yes, I sell Froyo to a hand full of people at work although I sometimes forget we have it! Weird, I know. But usually I make a point to have one of these bad boys at least once a week. This time I had raspberries & granola on top, so yummm!

How cool are these? I adore nesting dolls but this idea is very crafty and would be such a wonderful little decoration to add to your living room. Let alone show off some photos. Go here and find out how to make these lovies.

Another pretty amazing photo of Snoqualmie Falls :) Only 43 days!!

This boy looking up at me. My heart swells every time.

These are incredible cuppy cakes. Like are you kidding me? The one on the bottom left corner with the white roses are my favorite. Beautiful.

on some saturday delights...

(via here)

This morning Sebastian and I woke up to the sun shining in our window and a fresh breeze. I will be doing some tidying up before Bobby gets home so we can start our fun filled day. We will be taking Sebastian to see Rango :) It really does look like a cute movie, I think I am just as excited to see it as Sebastian. I showed him the trailer this morning and told him we are going to see it and he was all smiles. Then a quick trip to pick up my wedding ring ♥ I can't wait to get my hands finger on it. 

Sebastian is at such a fun age and is really starting to want to help out with things. It's so adorable because when ever I am cooking or baking he is pulling up the bar stool in the kitchen and picking up a whisk! So Bobby and I thought it would be fun to get Sebastian a little pet to take care of (with our help of course)!! What better animal than a fish! I will show you all later our little adventure and we'll just see what sort of fishy we come home with :) 

Since I am here why not share some lovies I am swooning over this fine morning...

I feel in love with this spice rack. How cool is that?! If I had wall space in my cupboard of a kitchen then I would have bought this in a flash but it will just have to wait until we have our dream house. It's like a piece of art work. 

These Great White Plugs from Plug Your Holes. I know, I little gory but I like them :) 

Betsy J. wedges that are just adorable. I think I might be able to walk in these.

This amazing picture of Snoqualmie Falls. SO beautiful and can not believe I will be marrying the love of my life in such a magical place. 

What are you doing this fine Saturday?

Hope it's something fun!
