iphone, dice, and gnomes.

I've been very patient. Waiting for what seems like forever. And the day finally came. I got an iphone! and I love it. I'm a little obsessed with it. and also a little overwhelmed.

Over the weekend we had a little girls night.

Went out for a little italian and then had a relaxing night in at Marina's.

we're all excited for my new phone. yippee!

She asked us all to humor her and play Yahtzee, and it was really fun. There was talk of upcoming weddings, recent trips abroad, and future babies.

erin rolled a yahtzee on the last roll of the game. it was very exciting.

but i won the game ;)

Saw Gnomeo and Juliet with my favorite couple, and best friend. I liked every single thing about this movie. Absolutely, all of it. William Shakespeare, acted out by gnomes, all set (only) to Elton John. I'm sorry, but I just don't think there are many things that can top that.

the boys played video games, obvi.

and eric wanted to cuddle with jen aniston. so he used the ipad.

pretty clever, that boy.

(p.s. when i told eric he kind of looked high, he said, "high on love." oh gosh, what a cheeseball)

This week I'm working on trying to go to bed at a decent hour. It's been proving difficult for me over the last few weeks. and still is. here's to hoping.

today i am going with sarah to see her wedding venue! to measure and get more ideas for decorations. it's going to be great.

xoxo

gushing.

i'm in love...

with BHLDN!

I just looked through everything.

And I love all of it.

It's a good thing I'm not planning my wedding right now,

cause this would've thrown me way off.

xoxo

the cutest little cupid's arrow made from pretzels and heart shaped gummies!

one of my preschoolers actually brought these in today.

isn't that a great idea for kids. less candy, more good stuff, and super cute.

another one of my kids brought heart-shaped multicolored crayons.

i absolutely loved this.

and i found this to give. a small pot with a mini rose bush planted in it.

happy valentines day!

i just can't get enough.

so last night i went to target to grab a few necessities. and well i had to walk right past the shoe section. i let myself take a little stroll down the aisles...i saw quite a few cuties, especially one pair of boots. and i could not resist.

i just can't get enough boots, i want a whole closet just full of boots.

oh, how i wish.

here they are:

can't wait to wear these tonight. it's friday night and it's gonna be a girl's night.

tomorrow i'm going to go see Gnomeo and Juliet with this girl, she's loves the gnomies. This movie looks beyond awesome. i've been waiting for what seems like forever.

what are your weekend plans?

happy friday!

obsessing over

buns & bows!

or pretty much anything to do with hair.

lately, all i've been wanting to do is put my hair in a bun. and i feel like it keeps making its way a little higher upon my head every time.

but i've seen a few other ways I want to try my hair soon. unfortunately, i'm not that good at doing hair. so i usually stick to the basics:

straight, wavy, pony, or bun.

but i'm feeling more adventurous lately.

and hair accessories...i'm all about them right now. i love bows and little clippys. they're so easy and yet can add so much. I'm patiently waiting for my Giant Dwarf mini heartlette sparkler!

xoxo
