Personal Trivia

Cute little Sarah at Jeune Marie tagged me on Thursday to share 6 things about myself so I thought that playing along would be fun.

Six very random things about myself:

1. I love anything shiny, sparkly or metallic. I try to make sure my look of the day only contains one of the above items. Not to mention I really hope when I go out people don't think I look like a circus clown.

2. I despise Ranch dressing. Like if I never saw it ever again that would be too soon but oddly enough I do like Cool Ranch Doritos.

3. I'm great around my kids but once they go to bed sometimes I curse like a sailor. Oops!

4. I love reading, I could read literally all day if I had the right book and the time to do it.

5. I'm scared to drive in snow.

6. I've totally fallen in love with blogging, the people are super cool and if I hadn't started I never would have found out about Love Dip (thx QT).

The "rules" are as follows:
1. Link to the person who tagged you
2. Post these six rules on your blog
3. Write 6 random things about yourself
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them
5. Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog. Let the tagger know when your entry is posted.

I would love to hear what anyone has to say about themselves so let's play Getting To Know You Blogger Edition, if you play comment below.

Happy Weekend!

Thoughts?

I kinda have a crush on these and I'm not sure if it's a lasting relationship so please share your thoughts.

Barn Doors

Since yesterday I was on a door kick I thought I would continue it today just a bit, except I'm loving this whole look not just the doors.

Fresh Peach and Gingercream Shortcakes

I've been meaning to get some fresh peaches and I think this might motivate me.

Antique Doors

Everyone has their thing and mine is antique doors and hardware. Nothing makes my heart soar more than old, peeling paint, gorgeous doors so I thought I would put together a few that make me swoon.

Batman

Not only did I shop Saturday the hubs and I made it out to see The Dark Knight and get a bite to eat. Not bad for one day. Christian Bale doesn't disappoint in this flick, he's still handsome as ever and the movie was good.

I loved this dress that Maggie Gyllenhaal wears in the movie, too bad I couldn't find a better picture.

No I don't fish

I never thought I would see the day that I would actually want to go to Bass Pro Shop but after seeing this basket on Poppytalk the kids and I might be taking a field trip.

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.

Saturday

Saturday my mom and I got some good ole' shopping in. We weren't looking for anything we were just doing a little window shopping at a few of our favorite shops, which is my favorite thing to do. Our first stop was Domestic Bliss, which is such cute shop that has all sorts of lovely furniture, home accessories and clothing.

They just opened a studio next to their shop that has lots of classes, including ones taught by Heather Bailey. The space is beyond cute I would love to settle in there for some me time, you can check out their blog here.


Next we hopped on the freeway and went to Willows. This is the store that I would love to just move right into. I found some gorgeous pendant lights there that would be perfect over my island, I just need to talk the hubs into it.

**I forgot to mention that you can purchase the Christoper Jagmin tableware from my earlier post at Willows.**

While I was out I picked up the Eat.Shop.Phoenix Guide, it's full of lots of yummy restaurants and hip shopping, it was full of places that I love and a few that I haven't tried yet. They have Eat.Shop Guides for lots of cities and I would recommend them for anyone traveling that doesn't want to do the usual chain fare.

We did hit a couple other stores but I had to share my two favorites. We finished up our trip with a stop at Sprinkles (yes now I'm hooked) and I had the dark chocolate cupcake.

Yum.

Christopher Jagmin

I love the tableware by local Phoenix artist Christopher Jagmin it was inspired by his love of typography, I'm sure something we can all relate to.

Happy Weekend!

Relax and have a wonderful weekend.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

I'm currently reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle at the recommendation of a friend, it's a memoir of Barbara Kingsolver's family starting the journey of eating organic, locally grown and raised food for one year.

It's really good, although it got off to a rocky start (just a wee bit preachy in the beginning) but it's really got me thinking about trying to be a little more conscientious about what we eat. Do you guys try to eat locally or is heading to your local groc much easier?

Dreaming of the beach

The changing rooms at the beach featured on Poppytalk have me longing for some sand and a beachy breeze.

R.I.P.

I'm beside myself with grief that Will got voted off SYTYCD last night.

Duck, duck, goose!

I often wonder what makes a child tick, why for instance that it's always so much more fun to pick the one thing that your brother might want. Tonight well actually every night the boys fight over a duck towel, one of them is always in tears if that frickin duck towel is in rotation.

The towel in question, looks like this boy loves it too, shocking!

This towel is nothing special it was like from Kohl's or something. My Little loves ducks so now that my Big knows this it's an all out war. I even suggested that we just go there and buy another one since it was it was so cheap and Big says, "No, I only like that towel." Should I buy another one or burn the one we have?

Hampton Chandelier

I've never been a huge fan of capiz shells but since seeing them with a traditional silhouette I might be a convert.

Sprinkles Cupcakes

They opened a Sprinkles Cupcakes in town and because it's summer and we have nothing better to do I'm thinking of putting the kids in the car and taking a trip up there to check it out. Anyone know is it really worth it?
