Special Rug.

Charlie below is laying on a puppy rug my mom's mom (grandma) made me when I was little. I didn't know my mom held onto it over the years and its held up great! I think it would be special if Charlie's younger sibling had a handmade item to snuggle with. You got that, mom? :)

What I'm Lovin' Wednesday.

My sister and I hosted a party on Saturday and there was lots of wine and Key Lime Pie Martinis that were drunk so needless to say, there were lots of glasses to be washed. I do not like washing dishes by hand so luckily my mother in law gave me these containers that you put your delicates (stemware that is) in the washer and you don't have to worry about breaking them. You can only wash 8 glasses at a time but I'd rather do 2-3 dishwasher loads than wash them all by hand. Love these!

I'm also loving this silk flower arrangement that was created by a wonderful local florist. I love the vase as well which I recently got at Pier 1 Imports.

I'm loving our new weekend of tradition that we started which is going out to breakfast or making a breakfast one day over the weekend. It started on Mother's Day when we went out for breakfast. I love family time!

And finally, these Trader Joe's Mini Brie Bites. 2 points a pop.

That's Random.

Late but Worth the Wait. Mother's Day Pictures.

The three of us went out to breakfast on Saturday at a place in town called Just Breakfast. Its one of those places that hasn't changed in at least 10 years decor wise at least. Very homey.

Then on Sunday we had family over for a BBQ. Thanks mom for the pictures!

*boo boo happened the day before when he hit his head on the corner of my very sharp dresser drawer :(

 This girl made me an auntie for the first time. Love her to pieces!

 My other love bug.

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

I love bath time. Bath time means bedtime is coming soon! I know, that sounds mean but I think a lot of moms would agree its pretty great when the little ones are tucked in bed and you can do whatever the heck you want to do with the few hours left of the day. Most of the time for me its making a decaf cup of coffee with creamer and getting in comfortable pants and watching tv with Rob. Once in a while, I'll opt for a warm bubbly bath. Just me and Oprah catching up and sharing some quality time.

Charlie is quite the book warm. He can't resist flipping some pages in some literature even in the comforts of a soothing bath. I think he got that from me.

Washing hair comes last in our house. Charlie is not a fan of having a wet head.

 But sometimes he surprises me.

 What a ham!

Leg on the tub = get me out

12 hours mores until bath time, but who is counting?

What I'm Loving Wednesday.

I'm loving my new Target sandals. They don't look really cute in this picture but I assure you they are. :) The strap goes across the foot and there is a little spot for your big toe. They are different and fun. And practical which is perfect for running after a 17 month old. Unfortunately, I'm having issues loading a picture. Check them out here.

I'm lusting after a couple items on etsy. The first is a necklace from Lilly Pie Accessories. How cute is this?

I'm also loving headbands. I have a few but wouldn't mind adding to the collection. My hair dresser had a headband on from Ruffles and Fringe and I loved it. It looks like she doesn't have the exact one in her shop anymore, but this one is equally as cute.

My birthday is coming up...just sayin'... :)

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! My mom was in charge of pictures so hopefully she'll send me a few that I can share (hint hint). :) Here is a picture of my lovely mom on Thanksgiving with Charlie and I. I love you mom!
