I will be real honest here: I rarely get dressed out of my sweats. Why? I work from home. Enough said right? It is actually sad how many days consist of the same sweats & a messy bun.  I keep vowing that I will actually get dressed and fix my hair more if for nothing else than to feel better about myself and possibly remind the hubby why he used to think I was hot! ;)

But when Erin of Living in Yellow started her IG series #liylookoftheday it gave me the extra shove I needed to start getting dressed!  Do I get all dolled up every day? No. But it's a huge improvement from before! And I am having so much fun linking up on Instagram! Plus, I feel 100% better about my self. It is amazing what putting on something other than sweats, fixing your hair & adding a little make up can do for you!

In case you missed my extreme excitement (that word doesn't really cut it) on Instagram last week, Lauren Conrad (my girl crush since Laguna Beach) featured the spoon I made for her on her Instagram AND her blog!

It was seriously such an amazing thing. I can't express how humbled, blessed & grateful I am.  So thank you Lauren. And thank you to all of you...you make my dreams come to life on the daily!

Happy Weekend Friends! 

Life Lately: According to my iPad.

I can't believe it is the middle of May! So much is going on right now! I launched a new line of stacking rings, school is wrapping up, my daughter is turning 7 this month, we are planning a couple weekend trips, we are throwing a 10 year anniversary bash (I can't believe we have been married almost 10 years!) & I am working on some new jewelry pieces. Whew! Lots to do! 

At busy times in life like these I am reminded of how fast life goes by. That soon my babies will be big, soon there will be no more snuggles on the couch, no more binkies, no more sweet little baby feet running down the hallway.  And it makes me sad.  I am constantly reminded and inspired by Casey to soak it all in. 

Life changes. Life goes on. It is sad & it is happy. 

But I have been reminding myself lately when my life gets hard, when my life gets stressful, when I am overwhelmed and want to scream and run away, that this is my life & it is flying by. I need to stop and live in the moment. Stop and enjoy my life & my babies. Stop and actually LIVE my life.  

My heart is so full right now. I want to remember this time in my life forever. I want to lock these feelings in my heart forever. I want to hold my babies tight and never let go...

Life Lately: InstaFriday.

Oh how I love Target! Can we please get one closer to where I live?! 50 minutes is a little too far to get my needed Target fixes...This dress & these shoes are so cute!!

I don't know why my iPad takes such crappy pics...but I am loving me little nook of happiness! 

Having fun making 'verse of the day' art for my instagram feed! 

I recently turned old shutters into a headboard & created a happy display in our bedroom!

I LOVED playing dress up for Oh Sweet Joy's styling contest! This may be a favorite spring outfit! 

A daily reminder I need! 

Got myself a cute polka dot mug for $1.49 (Target) and could not leave without Breaking Dawn part 2. 50 minutes of bonus content...HOLLA! 

This towel makes me snicker!
