colorado recap

Getting home and looking through all my photos makes me miss it so much and the incredible time I had. Soaked up so much  while there...so much laziness, shopping ( probably too much shopping!) yummy food, fun car rides and just hanging out.

This scenery just gets me every time. Those majestic mountains are just so incredible.  I think I took just a few too many pictures of the mountains.

This was the first trip I'd ever taken with out my camera.  I almost felt lost without at and half way through the trip was kinda mad at myself for not bringing it, but it allowed me to enjoy it in a different way and for the most part I'm glad I did. And besides, taking pictures with a phone is fun too...you get such a different perspective than you do with a camera.

So summer pretty much feels like it's over now. I loved summer - every moment of it, but I'm ready for fall ~ I say bring it on! 

Road trip

My poor little blog has been so neglected the past few weeks! So much going on! Although I Love this busy season of life so much, I'm loving the break from it right now. Took a little road trip with my incredible friend to Colorado. Loving it so very much out here! The scenery is ever so pretty and the cooler weather is sooooo amazing! Cant get enough of being outside and soaking it all up. I can't imagine living where you can see mountains when you look out your windows...people are so lucky that get to live out here!

ohh vacation....i miss you

I miss vacation.

Getting to spend time on the beach during our little trip in June was pretty much my favorite part of the trip...getting to wiggle my toes in the warm sand, walking along the beach...getting sunkissed...feeling the breeze blow...ahhh I loved that sooo much! To cold for swimming, (so disappointing! ) but still warm enough to enjoy the beach and sunshine, and stare at the pretty water! 

I want to go back and forget all about the huge to-do list in front of me waiting to be done..the cleaning that I didn't get accomplished today... forget about the fact that I'm slacking big time in exercising...forget about the cares of worries of life...the loneliness...my chaotic life....pleease can I go back for a day?!

Oh right.  Back to real life. 

*sigh*

it's amost time to party!

Lotsa party planning and party making going on right now. Getting ready to throw a big graduation party for my sweet niece next week! A big milestone like this requires extra special  celebrating and extra special decorations...don'tchya think?!  I'm soooo excited about it! It's been a ton of fun to plan and get ready for...and I know the actual celebration will totally top it off!  Till then, I'm soaking all the orange and pink goodness, and crafting to my hearts content!

Goodness!  I. can't. wait. ♥

monday monday

It's a new week, the sun is shining, I've been playing with paper all day and my favorite 60's tunes have been playing all afternoon. Tis been lovely! Happy Monday friends!

my week in photos

for the past week I've been traveling with family, and oh has it been lovely! I love traveling! New places to go, new people to meet and new adventures.

lots of cold drinks, and my favorite for supper - fresh fruit. ( yes, sometimes I only eat fruit for supper)

I can't pass a mirror without taking a picture....

lots of opportunities to kiss this sweet little face, and oh the happiness when he says my name!

and what would life be without my favorite snack? yes, popcorn is the only thing in the world that I'm addicted to.

Now it's major laundry catch-up time, and back to the everyday of life that I love so much.

happiness found in the everyday.....

huge bouquets of daffodils...oh they smell so good!

leisure walks with sisters down a country road

hair in a pony tail...fast easy and super cute!

juicy oranges, and fresh spinach and lettuce out of the garden

clothespins on the line...because that means it's warm enough to hang the laundry out!

my christmas

photos from my christmas...as promised!

I love christmas and really wished it lasted longer, but I'm ready to move one now. Excited for the new year...new beginings, lots of change and new goals. Are you excited for the new year?
