Pencil vs. Camera

I am completely inspired by this pencil vs. camera project by Ben Heine. I love how he combines colorful photos with amazingly detailed sketches. Aren't they beautiful?!

Happy Fall!

Happy first day of Fall!! I can't wait till it cools down and I can wear my leggings and some scarfs. What's in your wardrobe for Fall? I'm craving these for mine…

Sweet Tucker

This sweet little pup has weaseled his way into our apartment. via my roommate. His first night with us was last night. I might already be in love. I'm dogsitting him all by myself in a week. The love will probably take full form at that point.

Marco Island

This past weekend was our beachy family reunion at Marco Island. Many, many, many laughs were had, games were played and birthdays were celebrated. 

The night I flew in, my mom, her two sisters and their mom went to go visit my great aunt Susan. (I was pretty bummed I didn't get to go). She turns 90 in March so they had cake, wine and a home-cooked meal. They said she was as sharp as a whip, hysterical and so so happy they were there to visit. (Side Note: my aunt Amy [blonde] bought Hello Kitty birthday hats just to be fun. We barely took them off all weekend. Multiple people made comments, took our picture, some sang to us, and we all got some free drinks!)

The sunsets were breathtakingly beautiful, food was yummy and the family time swelled my heart. We may be overwhelmingly dysfunctional and dramatic, but I still love my family. 

I'd love to share some pictures if you'd like to take a peek...

Jaqueline

I'm watching the ABC special on Jacqueline Kennedy. Isn't she exquisite? (JFK wasn't so bad either. ;)

PS. This is my 300th post. (: 

Lovely Cities

These city illustrations immediately caught my eye. Wouldn't they look good as a set displayed in an entry way?

It's Friday! I'm pretty excited about it. Thought today deserved some balloons.

Labor Day Weekend

My Labor Day Weekend was filled with giggles, hugs and a little man yelling "JEEFFEERRR". My heart could not have been happier. It was such a blast getting to spend time with one of my bff's and her family. And I probably touched her growing belly a few too many times. I was so intrigued of that little baby girl growing inside of her! We also painted the little squirt's nursery and had fun decorating.

*Disclaimer: Not the best photos of me. I was exhausted! (: But for good reason. (: *

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

In less than 24 hours I'll be hanging out with this handsome little man. And his pregnant-about-to-pop momma. All. Weekend. Long. My heart is gonna be overflowing with love. Have a great holiday weekend! 

Oh Baseball...

Baseball will always hold a special place in my heart. And tonight, I will be making my heart happy. My office is having an 'outing' and we're all headed to the Braves game tonight. So excited!
