these days.
this week was simultaneously the fastest and the slowest week i've had in a LONG time. i'm pretty sure i woke up thinking it was friday at least three mornings out of the last five. so now that it's here, i couldn't be happier! we've got a fun weekend planned, with a wedding and a workshop and my baby sister is in town from school. so if the next 8 hours could go really fast, that'd be great. please and thank you!this week, i want to introduce you to another one of my sponsors.|||stacie from happiness in bloom is just a darling person. she is so genuine and friendly and sweet, that you can't help but want to read about her life with her sweet little dog and her guy down in florida. i personally am jealous of the fact that she lives in such a gorgeous place where it's warm ALL THE TIME, but i don't hold that against her at all. i've also been fangirling all over her little home with the front porch of my dreams...her blog's got a little bit of everything, and i bet you'll find something to fangirl over too.Hey y'all! My name is Stacie and I blog over at Happiness In Bloom! In a nutshell my blog revolves around finding happiness and beauty in every day life. If you love laughing, a little sarcasm, and a positive perspective, come on over and hang out with me! I love meeting new people and can't wait to meet you!
you can find stacie at her blog, happiness in bloom, and also on twitter, bloglovin', and instagram. head over to get a little dose of positivity and sunshine (and tell her that erin sent you).|||
these days i’m…eating oatmeal, oatmeal and more oatmeal. prepared for me by my husband every morning this week, because i haven't been getting my butt out of bed early enough to make my own damn breakfast. and i've decided that oatmeal tastes better when someone else makes it for you.making my first project from darby smart. this company is brilliant. you can order boxes full of everything you need for some incredible craft projects. you can order one project just for yourself if you're feeling like you need some creative jumpstarting, or (and this is my favorite thing) you can order "girls night" boxes that have enough for you and some friends as a fun thing to do while drinking your wine at girls night. i'm participating in the "polish challenge" they're throwing this month and just got my box...now i'm trying to get my creative juices flowing to see how i can create something cute and crafty with the supplies and julep nail polish they sent!
wearing tights and booties! because it's sweater season, yes, but tights are the sweaters of our legs, and so it's tight leg sweater season too! i've been put on a boot-buying hiatus (an unwilling one!) by my husband, because of our lack of closet space, but i might need ONE MORE pair of booties in taupe. because look at them! (i'm thinking something similar to the ones chelsea is wearing here...)
(dress: CAbi, booties: target via hanna)
drinking wine with some bloggers. if you missed the blitz on social media about #happyhourhangout the last two days, 1) you're following the wrong people, and 2) read here for more info.planning how i'm going to survive my sugar detox that starts next week. i'm going to the moon river wellness "replenish, relax and renew: 7-day mind, body and spirit detox" kickoff tomorrow morning, and then starting my detox on monday. not going to lie, i'm pretty nervous. i've already kicked caffeine, and i eat pretty healthy anyway, but there is something about the idea of giving up sugar entirely that gives me shivers. updates will be given if i survive.listening to Mister Man's wise words during a "this is our life" conversation yesterday. you know how sometimes us ladies just want the guys to shake their heads yes, and tell us they understand how we're feeling, but not give us any advice? yea, i'm like that too a lot of the time. ("just support me!") but there are times when he knows (and He knows) just when i need to be given some actual words of wisdom to make me feel better. so i'm listening.working on the house, surprise surprise. take a look at my hot demolition man. he cleaned out the 85 year old garage and now you could eat off the floor (if you were into that sort of thing). i made him take the necessary safety precautions, and now i have this amazing photo. pretty happy that i have him to do the (literal) dirty work for me!
loving that i get to have a little lunch date with mama hools today! i haven't had a chance to sit down and talk to just her in weeks, and i'm so excited to get away from my desk for a little break as well.not loving: not applicable this week. i feel super content and i like that.
