Dear Emily

Happy day this and thatters!  I promise I will get back to a more normal blogging schedule in April when my work life calms down.  Happy Saturday!  xoxo Dear Emily, You had trouble falling asleep last night.  Truth be told you aren't feeling well so I know that makes it hard to get comfortable.  I went in your room and rocked you last night.  You held onto me super tight and buried your head in my shoulder.  Tears pricked my eyes.  You are normally very independent and don't cling to me like that.   As I rocked you I thought about how now (even though some days are hard) is such an amazing time for us.  Within reason I can solve whatever is bothering you.  I can kiss away the tears, put a band aid on the boo boo and rock you when you have bad dreams.  I know in the future it won't be that easy.  There will come a day when I can't "fix it" anymore and that is hard for me accept.   You will need those days and they will teach you a lot.  I will be there

The Tube

Happy Day my lovelies!!   I hope you are having a fantastic week and taking good care of yourself.  The hubs and I have been watching a lot of TV lately.  We get on these kicks and as soon as the weather turns nice we will stop watching cold turkey, ha!  For now here is what we are loving on the tube. xoxo 1.  The Jinx Did you watch the docu-series the jinx on HBO?!  If not you are missing out and must do it now.  It is damn good and crazy as hell.  There aren't a ton of things that both the hubs and I enjoy but this series was one of them.  It's over now so you can bing watch all at once!   2.  House of Cards The hubs and I are almost done with season 3 of house of cards.  I'm not gonna lie it started out slow but stick with it!!  It doesn't disappoint in the end. 3.  Southern Charm I know, I know it's cheesy and mindless but I love it!  It's such a fun show that is highly entertaining.  The first episode of season two came out on Monday and

Happy Day this and thatters!   I have to tell y'all that even though I'm not shopping at this time I have been looking at some fun shoes that would be fun for spring/summer!  Enjoy. xoxo 1.  J. Crew Factory Sneakers How adorable are these sneaks?  I love this look but am not sure I can pull it off.  These would be so awesome to throw on with jeans and a tshirt.   Click here! 2.  Tory Burch Flops I have these in black but I'm drooling over this hot pink fun color (don't let the color fool you they are pink)!  These would be an amazing way to spice up a super boring outfit.   3.   Madewell Thea Pom Pom Sandals I am dying over how cute these sandals are!!  So fun and different.  I would wear these with shorts, dresses or jeans!  If I only buy one sandal this season these will be it.

Happy Saturday this and thatters!!   I hope you and yours are having a great start to the weekend.  I, also, hope you enjoy this edition of what's what. xoxo 1.  Pillow Grace I saw this awesome pillow cases the other day and I instantly fell in love!  I love the idea behind having your favorite bible verse on a pillow case. What a great gift to give a new mom, high school graduate or really anyone! Click here! 2.  By Lacey I have been looking for some different art work to add to Em's room.  I have to confess I didn't decorate her nursery very baby.  Instead I created a room I really loved and then incorporated pieces I loved as we went.  I need some art to go over her bed and I am thinking these are it.  Her room is colorful and so I like that these are black and white and subtle.   Click here! 3.  Upholstered Headboards I mentioned on my previous post that I was looking for an upholstered headboard for our master bedroom.  I found som

Hello loyal readers!  I apologize for my absence but my day job has been crazy busy which hasn't left much time for blogging or anything else.   Thank you for hanging in there and I promise in April I will resume to blogging on a normal schedule.  For today I hope you enjoy my random thoughts. xoxo 1.  Emily is getting so big I swear it's crazy!  She is talking all the time and asking for things.  We are working hard on manners.  When she spotted this tutu in Target she said please no less than a thousand times!  We caved and got it for her.  She is obsessed with it and wears it all the time.  Tonight she insisted on sleeping in it!  Ha. 2.  I'm working on redoing our master bedroom.  We've had the same general decor theme in our bedroom for a very long time.  I'm changing things up and have bought a new headboard from One Kings Lane to get us started.  I also snagged some fun accessories while I was shopping around!  I cannot wait for our headboard
