Bonfire

A few of my favorite things right now.

1) Tuesday night dinners with friends.
I know I've mentioned how we've been doing this for the past 3 or 4 months, but every week I look forward to just hanging out with our good friends and eating and enjoying eachothers company.

2) Bonfires and Firepits.
Last week at our dinner we grilled hotdogs and then used Laura and Jeff's fire pit and had a bonfire with s'mores. It was great. I love this time of year.

3) Cirque du Soliel. We went with some friends last Thursday and saw Allegria. It was amazing. One of the coolest things I've seen. If you've never seen a Cirque du Soliel perfermance, it's totally worth the cost.

Fill in the blank Friday and Friday Fav!

I created a new treasury on etsy today, all things green! So pretty... I pretty much want everything, so I would consider them all my Friday Fav.

So, Lauren over at the the little things we do... does Fill in the Blank Friday every week. I thought I would join in this time!

Here are my answers... don't judge me! :)

1. If I could medal in an olympic event it would be speed skating short track, they are so freaking fast, it's awesome! I wouldnt be able to do anything with a big drop, because I'm kind of afraid of heights...

2. If I was stranded on a deserted island I'd take Zach, my knitting stuff (entertainment) & some sunscreen (I burn easily).


3. Birds are my most irrational fear. Alfred Hitchcock anyone?


4. I'd rather eat my boogers everyday, than have to work in a cubicle everyday. Yep I said it. Don't be grossed out, I just hate it that much.


5. I am praying everyday that God provides the right job, at the right time, in the right location for my husband. It's been a long bumpy road, and I'm very tired.


6. I should really be going to church on Sunday more often than I do. I have a really hard time getting out of bed before 10 on the weekends...


7. One of my favorite things in all the world is night-time drives in the summer with my hubby. Windows down, sunroof open, music playing, the moon out, cool breeze. Nothing beats it.

Happy Friday! It seems like it's becoming a trend in Kansas City that it snows every Friday. Not a good trend... but it does make a good day for chocolate chip cookies...yummm

Friday Fav

Today my favorite thing is

VALENTINE'S DAY!

yes, I admit, I love this holiday.

Before I used to think it was just a stupid corporate card holiday, but now that I am older and understand what an amazing thing LOVE is, I just think it's so great that there is a holiday to remind us how important it is to be thankful for the loved ones in your life and for the simpleness of understanding what we learned in sunday school that GOD is LOVE. :) So this post is dedicated to a few people in my life who I love and am so grateful for, there are so many more than are just in this post!

My cool friends

My buddy - yes, that's what we call each other. 

(This girls is an amazing person.)

 

My best friend from high school

 My awesome bro.

  

My beautiful sisters

  

Cutest niece in the world.

My Amazing parents

And crazy family in general

And my hubby - the love of my life (besides Jesus).

 

 

Sorry for the long post. Happy early Valentines Day. Don't forget that LOVE really does make the world a better place....

Friday Fav

Because it looks like this out today...

my favorite thing would be anything to do with spring.

You have to admit it's beautiful. But with the amount of snow we have had this year I need spring. And therefore my background has changed to this on my computer:

Via Free People's blog. Go here for a few more options to help make your winter feel a bit more springy.

Have a good weekend. Stay warm and see you next week!

Friday Fav!

So today my fav is this awesome grey LARGE POSIE headband that will be given away to one lucky person over at Jenni's blog! So go check it out and get your name in for the giveaway!

The flower on this headband is a bit larger than I normally make them, but I love it so much that I plan on adding a few more to my shop within the next few weeks! Can't wait that long or have a certain color in mind? Message me on etsy or shoot me an email and I can create a custom piece!

Friday Favs!

Happy Friday everyone! I think today I'd like to share with you a few of my favorite things right now. Who knows, I may continue to do this in the future, some days may include favs from around my place, favs from around my city, and favs from around the web, but we'll take this one day at a time.

Here are a few of my favs from etsy. What are a few of your favorites right now?
