Miscellanous Monday

It's Monday...again. The weekend is nevery long enough, oh well!

I got to babysit my Love and Lovebug on Friday night and enjoyed some quality time with them

I cleaned some Saturday morning and then went on a little shopping spree to help decorate the house

 This is an old window I got years ago. I bought the grapevine wreath and gold "S" from Hobby Lobby and then found the owl at TJ Maxx. The sign hanging from the knob is also from TJ Maxx. This is one of my favorite pieces of furniture. It is really old and hand crafted. I got it for like $30 off craigslist and then bought red glass knobs to add some more character to it.

 This wall was completely bare and needed something to spruce it up. So I found this metal key at Hobby Lobby for 50% off as well as the vinyl saying "Family- Life's Greatest Blessing" You can't really see them, but on this sofa table are two adorable iron birds. I'm into birds right now...they remind me of my grandmother :) It is only fitting that I put the birds on her sofa table. I think she would like it.

Mr. Bojangles is finally able to be left out all day without destroying anything. So...we officially took down his massive crate. Hallelujah! I was able to bring in this door that we salvaged from my great grandmother's house before they tore it down. It added a nice little touch. There are still a lot of things that I would like to get, but I've got to spread it out so I don't break the bank :)

I also found an adorable cross body Steve Madden purse at TJ Maxx. I figured when we go to Quebec City I will want a smaller bag to carry and a cross body one for extra security. I forgot to take a picture but it's a tangerine and carmel tan color. I love it!

Yesterday, in between doing laundry and some more cleaning I decided to enjoy the beautiful weather and sit out on my deck. Well... I fell asleep and two hours later came inside to find out that I got sunburned, in February!!!! Crazy. Oh Georgia weather you are a wonder :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend and have a fabulous week!

Confessional Friday

I'm linking up with Leslie over at A Blonde Ambition today.

• I got my order of Girl Scout Cookies today and it's all I can do not to break open the box of Thin Mints and devour them...it's 9:00 in the morning :)
• It's been in the high 60s and low 70s lately and all I want to do is drive around with my music blaring and my windows rolled down...but instead I have to work inside with no windows in my office :(
• I have been trying to enjoy each day...but I really want it to fly by and be summer because...I'm going to Quebec City with my family!!!!!!!! Can't wait 

• I've taken a hiatus from sweet tea. I know, crazy! I'm just not feeling it right now
• I am absolutely LOVING my Brighton bracelet that I got for my birthday. My "P" family is too sweet to me!



Wow, my arm looks kinda of chunky here...hmmmm not good

Well....looks like that's all I've got. I've been honest with myself and others lately so not too much to confess :) Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Twenty-Six

Yesterday was my 26th birthday. I had a wonderful day and felt so loved by all of my friends and family. This was the first year not having my parents around for my birthday and I definitely missed them.

However, I got an early birthday surprise from them when these beautiful flowers were delivered. I was soooo surprised!

Then my sister surprised me with these gorgeous flowers. My family sure knows how to spoil me :)

My co-workers are so sweet and decorated my office for my birthday. Then one of the girls made this amazing cake for me. It was so wonderful!

To top it off, right after I came home my best friend Katie came beating on my front door to wish me Happy Birthday. She brought me this beautiful rose, a birthday balloon, and the sweetest card.

I decided I wanted a laid back birthday so my sister and I ordered pizza and caught up on The Real Houswives of Orange County. She got me this awesome gold glitter phone case (which I had been looking for), a year subscription to Cosmo, AND told me to expect a monogrammed Kindle cover to come in the mail!!!! My sister knows me too well and went WAY over the top for me.

Tonight I get to see my Love and Lovebug and their wonderful parents, Friday I am having dinner and going to see The Vow with Katie and then Saturday night I am having dinner with my Bestie, Jessica. Needless to say this has been an AMAZING birthday and I feel so unbelievably loved and blessed. Here is to the next year and all that it has to bring!
