Sometimes a color is so darn goooood, you literally do a double take.
I love color. And this modern take on green is just perfection. It’s like your 20 year old green, just turned 30. More confident. More sophisticated. This green is just a tad wiser.
Me? Well, I haven’t told you guys but it’s been sick-city up in here. A few weeks ago, we all came down with some stomach bug. I HATE telling people that because the first thing they picture is you crouched over the can. Well, in my case, picture 3 little ones with projectile vomit. I swear, if my life were a t.v. show, I would be busting up!! Seriously, puke was everywhere.
Here’s where it got a bit weird. 4 days later. I felt bad again. 4 days later!!! Why??????? I started asking myself, “What have I done? I’ve got some bad karma on me! Some evil eye sh!t.” Obvs, all very educated, rational-minded thoughts.
Enter a trip to The Gap. Still very much in my “bad karma” mood, I found some cute, torn jeans in my size, sans tag. I proceed to check-out and they are $4.97. As in, less than 5 dollars?!?!? God, you do love me! Bad juju be gone! I have been released!! Thanks be to mankind.
Sometimes a $5 pair of pants is all it takes, huh?
Probably could have done without all this…
Anyhoo, remember we were talking about installation art? Well, it’s Friday and I could use a recharge.
For me, I mean a creative recharge. What say you?!
I love to look at pieces with humble beginnings (uh, toilet paper!!!) and see them turned into something amazing.
If you can make art with a few pins, imagine what you can accomplish with all the goods you got?!
And by that I mean, Happy Valentine’s Day, cause man, that crap is aaaallllll over de place! Who is gonna buy a singing dog thingie?! Please, PLEASE tell me that isn’t you! Sometimes I just have to shake my head and ask myself, What’s Up Wit Dat?!? What’s-Up-Wit-Dat?!? (SNL fans, you know what I’m singing!)
In my mind, Valentine’s Day is a special day to give your sweetie a laugh or small treat that they would enjoy, but maybe had never thought of. In my marriage, we don’t take this stuff too seriously… I take an extra moment to remind myself of how lucky I am to have love in my life…from the kids, to my family and obvs, my other half. Of course, who wouldn’t love a serenade by Bruno Mars and a crazy, romantic, extravagant evening, but after the first year, you’ll probably be saying, Oh, it’s just Bruno. Again.
Tell me I’m not lying.
So, that’s why I like to keep it simple. My husband? He wants nothing more than a little extra sweetness. Done! As for me? Well, I like presents. So, yes buy me s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g. Cute, small, funny. I love it all!!
If you’re needing ideas, check it out! I’ve got a bunch!!
Are those dang balloons hilarious!?! I swear, people are so creative. And that mobile?! It totally says, you are my universe. How about cuddling in that hanging chair?! Yes, please. Those stockings? I know I don’t have to tell you they are the shiz!
What am I getting? Well, this is in the works and I’m soooooo excited!
It’s a Forrest Pansy Cercis tree, and get this, the leaves are shaped like hearts. Can’t make this stuff up! I’m smitten!!
Anyhoo, I hope that I sparked some amazing gift ideas!
It looks so great next to all that white!
