When Life Gives You a Lemon...The Husband Gets the Cat Box

Another week down and another bump in the produce scale!
pun intended!


I am on the verge of feeling better this week!
The Husband is anxiously awaiting my "nesting stage"

Perhaps, so that I will get back into my routine of cooking every (most) nights, giving the house a good weekend scrub, and initiate operation laundry Wednesdays.
BA-HA!

 
I will say, he has been a true champ!
Helping out with everything around the house so I could shut down and let mission control do it's work.
(Mission Control is what he likes to call the placenta... since it isn't the most flattering of words.).
He hasn't once made me feel guilty for going to bed at 8, sometimes even before he gets home.
He will sweetly massage my shoulders or brush my hair.
(what is it about having your hair brushed that is so relaxing???)
He will tell me I am beautiful even though my skin has broken out EVEYWHERE!
(seriously, am I 13 again?)
He has been such a trooper through all of the changes that have happened physically and emotionally.
(If you have ever read Jenny McCarthy's Belly Laughs... Psycho Chick is all I gotta say!)
Plus he's totally been on top of the cat box!

So, cheers to my husband!
Your wife is making a comeback!
(but please, still feel free to call your Mom's housekeeper every once and a while :)
I can get used to that!)

 Here's a little high five for all the Dads/Dads to be out there!

our lemon as a plum!

Moms/Moms to be... I'd love to hear how your husbands did or are doing during your pregnancy!

Speaking of lemons... did anyone try the new Girl Scout cookie, Savannah Smiles?
Let's just say I finished them before my thin mints!
Too bad I have to wait a whole year to get more :(

Things to do this Weekend!



Our weekend is jam packed with fun!

Saturday Day: The Boy Scouts of America will be having their annual Pushmobile Races at Cycle Center of Denton! Races start at 10am and would be so much fun for the whole family to watch, so come on out!

Saturday Night: The Husband and I make it a tradition every year to attend the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival! It's full of Art, Crafts, Funnel Cakes, Dance, Beer (non for me) and Music... did I mention Funnel Cake? Don't forget your folding chairs!

Sunday: Have you seen the Beatles Tribute RAIN? Now playing at Fair Park and I hear it's THE show to see! The husband is going along with his Beatles fanatic Fam! Would you believe the iconic band is our ten year old niece's fav? Forget Justin Bieber, she has John, Paul, George, and Ringo posters all over her room!


Have a Pleasant Weekend!

Spring Sale-ing



Hoping to score a few of these items to spruce up my spring wardrobe!
They would be perfect for a day of "Sale-ing"!

What is "Sale-ing" you wonder?
Check out Lara Spencer's new book I Brake for Yard Sales and you will soon find out!
I can't wait to grab a copy this weekend!

I am on the hunt for a few "new" furniture pieces for our nursery!

For Spring Break I'm Headed to...


If you live or have been to Chicago... send me your city tips! Favorite places to eat, see, shop!
It's going to be a quick trip so I hope to cram in as much as possible!


My Momma knitted the besite and I scarves so we don't get pinched!
She's always looking out for us :)

Forecast looks like a bit of rain, perfect for my Sperry Hingham Rain Boots.

Gotta have crazy socks! I picked up some fun St. Patty's Day knee highs at Target.
No pic found so these from Forever 21 will do the trick!

My favorite accessory of the season so far! Anthropologie Fairburn Necklace.
The green may still be available in stores, so hurry, go check!

What are your plans for March 17th?
Anyone going to the Greenville Parade?

Year of Color Combos :: Pink + Orange

A colorful commercial came on the other day and Kenny looks at me with despair and asks... 
"So, are we going to see people wearing crazy colors this year?"

I respond,
"Yes, yes we are!"

Let's begin with Pink + Orange!

Monthly Prescription :: March

Just look at these blooms!

Spring makes me HAPPY!
Everything comes back to life and puts me into DIY mode!


One of the best things about being a blogger is discovering new and interesting projects from other blogs! There are so many wonderful ideas out there and I wanted to share a few of my recent finds.

This month... Add a little pattern to your home!

Project Numero Uno:
Not all of us can afford the coveted Hermes scarf
(if it's not on your hope-to-have-label-before-I-die wish list add it!!!)
But most of us can swing $60 bucks for the full collection in hardback form! Turn those pages into a collection of art! For more info check out the project post from Marcus Design! She also has an amazing furniture DIY that I am DYING to do! More on that later :)

Next:
Tired of your boring book shelf? Add a fun wallpaper to the back like this image from Decor Pad! We at PULP Design Studios recently used one of my favroite patterns in a client's guest bath! Check out Darcy from Graham and Brown, stunning!

Trois:
Speaking of PULP, did you catch Heather's super cool tribal wood panel project on Hello, Splendor?!

Four legs got to your sweater?:
A high school friend of mine keeps up with my little corner of the Internet (thanks, Vee!) and sent me this genius DIY from Krrb! Don't ditch your sweaters... wrap them up! Isn't this sweater bench so smart?!

Okay, I've supplied you plenty of inspiration thanks to some of my favorite blogs!
Need a little more? 
The next best place for DIY inspiration... CANTON!
It's this weekend, who's going?
I might need to make a trip to get some rocks for this DIY!

Must Have for Spring :: The Blazer



I am obsessed with blazers right now!

I think this sums is up ...

Stan Fields: Miss Rhode Island, please describe your idea of a perfect date.
Cheryl "Rhode Island": That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.

Spring Brights for a Steal!

The temp is quickly falling today and I have a feeling we will be bracing ourselves for a winter blast.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but at some point before March 20th we will dip below freezing, burr!

So, as I sip my hot tea bundled up in my favorite Oxford University sweatshirt...
What? I never told you I went to Oxford?
Blimey!
{Actually, I did study abroad in the UK, I just wasn't prepared for freezing temps in May.}

Over the weekend I finally got the chance to read all of my magazines and according to the experts, the trend for Spring is neon bright!

Naturally, I went searching for some neon steals!


and...
everything is under $100!
Get your brights for spring here!

I've Got a Crush on Color :: Emerald!


Did you know that the emerald has been used for centuries as a healer of the heart?
I didn't.

Emerald is also said to bring prosperity, harmony, wisdom and love.
Yes, please!

and since it happens to me my birthstone,
I think I know what I'll be asking for next May!

But, until the spring comes around...
how about bringing a little emerald into the home?


Chest / Butterfly / Greenery / Drapery

Have a Happy Monday!

Bits and Pieces of My Week


Sent my sister in law flowers from Freesia.
They make the most beautiful creations and are right down the street from my work!

A few co-workers and I toured the newly renovated Hilton Anatole and Renaissance Hotel for a little inspiration.
Soothing infinity pool

I love this detail. So simple and beautiful!

The WOW factor for sure!

A little bit of glitz and glam at the Renaissance

Look at this artwork! All of the famous chairs in one collection.
I have a weakness for chairs!

Great photographs of the decorative center!

 
My floppy straw hat came in the mail! Can't wait to wear it on the beach in two weeks!

Road trip to Grapeland, Tx to pick up a motorcycle

Veta Dog loves car riding

Wrong turn... end up at a historic mound!

Isn't he handsome?!

Happy dog!

Texas countryside

The bluebonnets are in full bloom!

Just fabulous!

We hope you had a good week!
