Insta-Friday #14

The husband is such a sweet valentine.

He brought me beautiful red roses yesterday and yellow ones for my mom who is in town with us right now.

My mom was very surprised and touched.  I think she even got a little teary eyed.  Good work husband.  Thanks for being awesome.

I have to tell you that I love Texas winters.  You know weather that feels like spring during the day and then evenings that are cool enough for a fire.  Love it.  You can keep your snow, I am not interested.  I much prefer my blooming flowers and fire pit on my deck.

Lovely.  Yes, I am spoiled rotten.

This week I finally found a frame for the print I bought for my office.

I like it.  A very happy print.

And I discovered  Trader Joe's raspberry sorbet.  It is delicious.

Sammy agrees.

We have made it to Friday friends, good work.



Enjoy your weekend!!

Happy Heart Day!!

Do me a favor.  Whether you are single or in a relationship; whether you love Valentine's Day or hate it with a passion...celebrate yourself today.

We can all use a little me celebration once in a while, so take today to feel the love.  You are the best you ever.  Period.

I have always kind of liked Valentine's Day, whether single or not, probably for no other reason than I love hearts and flowers.  I know that comes as a huge shocker to you.  I will admit that the single me didn't like the day as much as the relationship me does.  The husband and I usually decide something we want for the house (last year we got a coffee table) and we trade sweet cards.  We don't make a huge fuss of the day...which gives me extra time to celebrate me.  :)

There was a very funny card that I almost got for the husband.  It said, "The longer we are married the more we have to learn to put up with each others' faults."..."I just wanted to let you know in case I ever develop any."  Ha!  I chose a sweet and more truthful card instead.

Now..if you are still not feeling my celebrate yourself suggestion or laughing at the funny card I described, then head over to this Valentine's Horror Story post.  I guarantee that it will put a smile on your face and probably make you laugh.

Go forth and enjoy your Thursday.

I heart you.

Wonderful Wednesday

I am feeling very thoughtful today.  I am also feeling like sharing...so here is what I am thinking about...

I am thinking my friend Liz's twin sons are adorable (and I am not just saying that since they are wearing onsies I made for them).  I am also thinking I will be printing and framing this picture, I love that little Daniel is sticking his tongue out.

I'm feeling so content and happy right now and I am so pleased with these feelings.  I feel kind of like this cat looks.

Comfortable.  It is surprising to me how comfortable and content I am feeling considering I will be having surgery next week.  I thought as the countdown to surgery day ticked forward I would feel more anxious and crazy, but instead I just feel calm and confident.  I am proud of me for that.

I am thinking a lot about my Hattiesburg family and hoping all of the people there who were devastated by the tornado last Sunday are doing okay and are on the mend.  I am so thankful my family was unharmed and I am also thankful that no one in Hattiesburg was killed during the storm.  Things could have been so much worse.  I know there is a lot of rebuilding to do, but I know it will happen in time.

I am happy I got to spend time in Hattiesburg on Saturday.  I love my family and I have so much fun hanging out with my nieces.  I love that Courtney and I wear coordinating jammer pants.

Morning sofa chats would just not be the same if our pj pants clashed.

I am always thankful when we cross the Texas border coming back from Hattiesburg that I do not live in El Paso.

That would add considerable time to our trip.

I love these faces.

I think about that most days though.  I feel loved.

So true.

I hope you are having a fantastic Wednesday!

Weekend Finds

My sister and I hit Hobby Lobby on Saturday.  They had all their picture frames 50% off...I found this beauty that I knew would be great in our bedroom.

Awe, I put one of our engagement pictures in it.  :)

Cute.  I am pleased.  Here is the big picture. (See what I did there?)

Happy dresser.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
