The Fab Five

Congratulations to the the U.S. Women's Gymnastics team for winning gold at the 2012 Olympics!  They are all so beautiful and talented, and watching them win brought tears to my eyes.  Congratulations, and Go USA!

Project

Well life is a project, isn't it?  Even though I've been married since 2006, marriage is a project that continues, learning to be a housewife continues, and now figuring out this Mom thing is my newest project in progress.  But, in the meantime, my creativity makes me mentally bank other little projects that interest me.  I have a entrepreneurial spirit with a couple DIY bones in my body, and nothing thrills me more than creating something myself, by-hand that looks good enough to sell or show off to my family & friends.  This is my playbook.

J.Crew Bubble Earrings

I also love the Bubble Earrings from J.Crew!  I just can't decide which color I want!


J.Crew Bubble Necklace - Revisited

You've probably seen the J.Crew Bubble Necklace EVERYWHERE, starting sometime last year.  It seems to still be going strong, and even though I think it's been overdone, I like that they keep adding color options.  If you still haven't dropped $150 on this necklace but want to, I think the kelly green color is the best right now.  It has optimal versatility, and will take you well into the fall season.  I love it with a boyfriend style gray tee & jeans with heels.  You don't need much more with this statement necklace.

Where I Am

This is me: sitting on my couch watching "The King of Queens" on TVLand in my husband's sweatshirt and a pair of leggings.  I'm 5 months pregnant and tired but I don't feel like sleeping.  This is my alone time.  My husband and 18 month old daughter are asleep.  The house is quiet, the kitchen is still dirty.  It's almost midnight, and tomorrow's coffee and breakfast for hubby must be prepared before I hit the sack.  But, I am a procrastinator.  And a night-owl.  The kitchen will wait until tomorrow, and I will sleep in as long as I can.  I'm not lazy, I'm creative.  This is my playbook.
