Happy Monday!  The weekend is gone and I already miss it so much.  All I did this weekend was cook + kick it.  Like I kicked it hard.  Like chillin like a villain kicked it.    More than I have all year.  It was so nice.

When I got in my car this morning to drive to work, I realized that I hadn’t left my house in over 24 hours.  That NEVER happens.  I was a sweatpants wearing, couch sitting, tv watching lazy ass and I loved every second of it.

Today is the day – BIG news at our house…..Bailey has decided to fun for the Plainfield Elementary Student Council Treasurer.  I’m so proud of her for wanting to do this and signing-up all on her own.

Bailey said Lauren inspired her which is the sweetest thing ever.

Posters went up today!  Speeches next week.  Followed by the election.  I’m crazy excited for her.  Obviously hoping and praying she wins, but knowing it will be a huge learning experience if she doesn’t too.  Maybe I can sneak into the school and cast 100 votes!?!  Only kidding.  Fair and square is the only way I want her to win!

Thank god Korine was over to help with the posters.   Come on, how cute are these girls and the posters?!?!

“Vote for me – Bailey B.”

“123….count on Bailey B for Treasur-y”

I mean, could they be any cuter?

Korine – we have to celebrate after the election, I owe you BIG time ♥

Friends that come over for breakfast and stay for dinner, those are the good ones.  The ones you keep forever!

Bailey’s snapchat was proof of our laziness 🙂

I’ve gathered some fun items that I can promise yo mama will love.  Kicker – they are ALL $50 or less.  Most items are from Nordy’s.  Not only is Nordy’s my all time favorite on-line store, but the icing on the cake – FREE SHIPPING.  Always! Sometimes shipping charges are a deal breaker.  Anyone else feel the same?  Plus it’s triple points time now through May 8th.  Take advantage of that shit.

I spent an entire lunch break at World Market last week.  I wanted EVERYTHING.  Don’t you hate it when that happens?  You have to remind yourself that you are not rich and you can not buy everything you see…lol.  I suggest you make a World Market trip in the new future to check out some of their new arrivals.  Lot’s of southwest flare + vintage pieces + jade (obsessed).  I’ve linked a few of the items currently on my wish list 🙂
{wednesday wish list}

 


Edison-Style String Lights // love the look of these vintage style string lights.  They would look great strung across the backyard.

 

White Punched Metal Lili Drum Stool // a very versatile piece that looks great in a living room or even an outdoor space.  And they come in tons of fun bright colors too.

 

Hello and Goodbye Doormat // greeting and farewell all in one.  BRILLIANT!!

 

Wood Edin Serving Tray // how could you not love the vintage-inspired delicate look of this tray.  I picture a beautiful cheese display or how about in the center of a coffee table topped with flowers:)  Check out the whole Edwin collection here.

 

Jade Colored Glass Pedestal Stand // although this is not classic jadeite, it’s truly beautiful in person.  You cant pass it up with that price tag.

 

Charcuterie Cutting Board // love the style of this rustic cutting board.  Perfect for entertaining.

 

Farmhouse Chalkboard // whitewashed farmhouse perfection.  Would make a darling addition to any kitchen to display a weekly menu.

 

Calypsa Upholstered Hairpin Bench  // the southwest flare of this bench has it at the top of my wish list.  It would be perfect in or master at the foot of the bed.

 

“Deer Departed” by Vivian Canbelle // I’ve been eyeing this hand-painted canvas for a long time.  Where would I put it?  I have NO idea, but I still want it, bad!!

 

What’s on your wish list for your home?  Spring always inspires me to freshen up our living space.  I just don’t know where to start.

{the linen headboard}

Posted in home by

Who knew how hard it would be to pick out a linen headboard?  Well, it’s a pain in the ass.  The internet just doesn’t do the colors and textures any justice.  I ordered 3.  Kept 2 for 2 weeks.  Finally made up my mind.  Haha.  Did I mention that I suck at decisions?  Mainly when it’s something I plan to keep for a long time or costs over $100.  This one got the best of my decision making.  We set them both up twice.  Then took them both down twice.  Cory was so over it.

Here’s what we ended up with –

KITCHEN EDITION  //
I’m sure you can tell by now that I have a love for all things pretty.  Kitchen + Entertaining especially.  It rarely goes out of style.  And, you don’t grow out of it…lol.  I use my parent’s 38 year old wedding china and absolutely adore it.  It’s timeless.  I’m a collector of white serving dishes – I can’t help it.  The uniform look of a beautiful buffet covered with white serve-ware really makes the food pop.  World Market, Pottery Barn and Target are just a few of the places I frequent for new kitchen goods.
Here is my wish list of all kitchen pretties I would love to add to my cherished collection.
