Make it :: Resolution

Sometimes my resolutions are teeny and lame like, "make my bed everyday" and others they're a bit larger and more vague like, "make more vegetarian meals" and some are utter failures (ahem, tidy closet) but regardless every year don't you just feel the need to make at least one or two? It's a new year, a fresh start and it feels good to set a goal or two. Sometimes it's fun to see others goals and resolutions, they make you think don't they? It's so valuable to share other people's hopes because you never know how that can profoundly affect you as well by giving you another point of view. So I thought I would start a place where you can share. Here's a link to an anonymous survey (no judgement here) where you can put it out there and then sometime within the next week or two we can share the results. 

What do you say? You in?
MAKE IT! RESOLUTION.

Happy Weekend!

Arrrgh, for the last day Blogger has been on the fritz and it's so annoying because I think this week is the first week in eons that I've tried to post everyday. You try to tend to your sweet little blog and they screw it up. Thankfully it seems as though we're back on track, so I apologive for the interruption. So I know I've mentioned that I'm on Pinterest (follow me!) and now Rikki and I are posting to The Invitation Lady on Pinterest, so follow us there too! Lots of home, fashion and party inspiration that can be found in one bitchin' spot. You'll love it, I promise it's addicting.

{an example of the awesomeness to be found on Pinterest!}

If you want an invite to join Pinterest email me and I'll send one over pronto so you don't have to wait!

Happy Weekend!

Woot woot, everyone excited for Friday?  Nothing terribly exciting going on at my end.  I have a jam packed Saturday filled with fun stuff so that's good.  But today I'm planning on cleaning, laundry and the usual lameness that accompanies home ownership.  So later if you have nothing exciting sit down with coffee and enjoy some of my latest faves from the web this week.

These gorgeous wool blankets.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread?  Yes please!
If you want a case of the "I wants" go to Greige to drool.
That Decorno and Scented Glossy Magazines (thankfully) can't quit us.  This one and this one are classic!
The new Rue.

Soliciting

It's almost July and we're hot and bored at my house and I'm in need of some new tunes and eye candy so please comment with the following:

Labeled by Alicia Bock

1) New music, my ipod is feeling very neglected so any good artists or songs that you love please send them my way.

2) I'm dying to do some Etsy shopping and it sure is a pain to sift through it all. So dish all of your favorite Etsy shops.

Please don't be stingy with the comments ok? I'm needing some inspiration. Thanks in advance.

It's been fun!

Today was my last installment of the Through Her Eyes series at Layers of Meaning. We talk about our favorite blogger and since I couldn't choose I did share who was my first blog crush.

Thank you Maria for having me!

Layers of Meaning

I'm at Layers of Meaning again today and I talk a little about this guy.

I mean every word that I wrote for Through Her Eyes but would like to add the following things.

-I love that my guy doesn't mind that I get totally chatty after a few glasses of wine.

-I love that he doesn't mind too much that my tidy closet resolution was a big failure.

-I love that he picks up things he knows that I like from the grocery store just to be sweet.

-I love that he always washes my car and fills it up with gas because he knows I hate doing that.

-Most of all I just love him.

Through Her Eyes

Layers of Meaning's Through Her Eyes has me in all of my 70's glory.

Check it out the childhood photos of everyone participating here.

Tweet tweet

Happy Weekend!

I never got around to doing a happy weekend yesterday so I'll do it today because so far so good! I awoke to see that I had been listed in one of my favorite blogs as weekend reading. So thanks Desire to Inspire you have no idea how flattering that is.

Then I received an email from Seleta that I was chosen as one of the winners of her giveaway. Yay!! Not only are the items that I won gorgeous, who wouldn't want this handsome fellow picking their name?

We've been busy, we have lots of family in town for my husband's grandpa's 90th birthday. Lots of festivities this weekend and the kids are having a blast! I hope that your weekend is full and fun, plans?

The nice thing about a tag is that it comes in rather handy when you have a little blog block. A new blog friend Elena at Breakfast for Dinner tagged me earlier this week, she was inspired by I *Heart* You's Tagging 3's and You Are My Fave's Lists. So here goes.

What 3 bloggers would you like to tag?

I'm thinking anyone who wants to do it should. It's always fun to see what people are doing, not to mention it's always nice to have something in the hopper for a post. But I would love to see what Rikki at The Invitation Lady has to say as well as a couple new blogs that I'm diggin', Pittsy's Place and Domestic Reflections.

Speidi please

A little bit ago Paige at I *Heart* You had a post about the 5 people she would like to put in a rocket and shoot into outer space, I've decided these two are at the top of my list.

Spencer the Gremlin must go and Heidi while you are quite pretty with your new face you are still beyond annoying and your short shorts and high heels make me want to puke. Sorry you two have a first-class ticket, buh-bye.

For the record my other picks are as follows: Katherine Heigl, Gloria Estefan, Paris Hilton & W. Since Speidi has a name combo moniker they have to share a seat. Please feel free to list your picks too.

Batman?

I have to admit I'm actually excited for the new Batman movie franchise The Dark Knight to come out just so I can see the hotness that is Christian Bale.

I know it's not my usual fare, however during my daily jaunts to gossipland it's become quite a hot topic and it's got me just a bit excited.

I just love them

I love reading the gossip websites, I know a little trashy but so fun! I love seeing the Stefani-Rossdale's out and about. I just love Gwen's personal style. Gwen still looks glamorous even though she probably isn't feeling like it, her son is darling and the hubby is hot. Gwen you are one lucky girl!

The Anonymous Photo Project

I saw this yesterday on Poppytalk and thought what a fun idea. I'm totally going to do it, I just need to come up with some good locations to leave the cameras.

I can't believe I'm posting this...

I was perusing Perez and I came upon this picture of Mary-Kate Olsen wearing this

and it made me think of this.

I'm sorry I couldn't help myself, this couch dress has burned itself into my brain. Amber at Daisy Chain posted this and I was fascinated because there are people out there that think up this stuff...seriously!

Yet another way to waste time

I know most of us have little to no spare time, but most of us manage to get our little bit of computer time in. Here is something that will give you one more fun way to waste a little time, I found Polyvore on Design Mom and I have to tell you fun, fun! You get to make your own ensembles from the clothing they have or you can import what you like from your fave websites. You get to see how things look before you buy, genius!It's like playing Barbies or paper dolls for adults! We all know the most fun of playing dolls was getting them ready.
