HAPPY FRIDAY!

It’s been a week (and I say that in a long drawn out LOW voice).  Linc’s getting I think every single molar and tooth possible.  He had immunizations this week PLUS he has a cold which is just crummy.  I say that but it also makes him super cuddly and that is totally ok in my book because it means I get extra cuddles and snuggles!

ANYWAY (that’s all totally off subject!) I’m so excited that it’s friday!  SO EXCITED that I thought I’d share some of the things that I’m loving right now and then…

host a GIVE AWAY of some of those little items!

So here are a  few of my favorite things:

 

#1.  Rosebud Salve:   I’ve been loving this stuff for a long time.  My mom introduced it to me when I was a teen and it’s AMAZING! If you have chapped lips… they are healed over night!  You have a rough patch of skin anywhere… put this on!  It’s magical!

 

 

 

 

 

 

#2.  Tazo Iced Passion Tea:  I used to drink Tazo Passion when I worked at the children’s hospital and I needed a little afternoon pick me up.  It smells divine!  Linc and I were in the grocery store the other day and discovered their iced version!  I’ve been having an afternoon iced pick me up ever since!  It gives me the energy for our afternoon dance party sessions!

 

 

 

 

 

#3.   My Ashton Keely Mix N Match Wrap Bracelets!  I LOVE these and since they’ve come into my life I haven’t gone a single day without wearing them!  For those that know me, I’m always wearing a leather wrap or cuff!  Ashton is local to my area and she is kind of incredible!  Her creations are nothing short of stunning and I find myself drooling over her instagram feed on a daily basis!  Check out her site to see a picture of these amazing beauties!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#4.  Wisps:  I am THAT girl!  The one that always has food stuck in her teeth.  No one ever tells me either!  I think it’s partly because my teeth are so close and tight together that no one can really tell; but I can tell!  So these little gems are always packed in my bag!  They are toothbrush and floss in one… GENIUS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#5.  Love Does.  This book!!!  I just don’t even KNOW what to say!  It’s amazing beyond words.  GO BUY IT!  THE END! No seriously, it really is an incredible read.  It’s about Bob Goff and if you haven’t heard of him, you should want to know him.  It talks about how Love and Faith can really just do anything just about.  He is a wonderful man full of whimsy and charisma and really…. just go get it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#6.  My collection of Moleskine Journals:  They are strewn about ALL around the house!  They are in my office on my desk, they are in the kitchen, in my diaper bag, on my bedside table and even in my glove box in the car.  I always get the best ideas or feel the need to write at the most in-opportune times and the small pocket journals are the best for just those times!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#7.  Benefits Badgal Lash Mascara:  This stuff is amazing!  It’s like wearing false eye-lashes but not at all.  I am like a toddler with make-up!  I LOVE it but I have no idea what I’m doing with it.  In order to stay safe, I usually only wear mascara.  Sometimes, I can get away with putting a little bit of eyeliner on but that’s if I’m feeling a little daring!  Mascara is a pretty big deal to me and I’m always on the look out for a new find!  This stuff is the bomb!  It makes my eyes POP and I have lashes for days! Nuff said!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#8.  Yankee Candle Home Sweet Home!  This scent is absolutely home sweet home to me!  I wait all year until the appropriate time for me to start burning this scent!  It’s like all of the holidays melted and married in to one beautiful aroma.  Sometimes I get a bit crazy and will melt one tarte of this candle and one tarte of another like Farmers Market.  I especially like that combination around Thanksgiving.  But that’s only if I’m feeling a little nutty!

Happy Anniversary to the man that continues to make me laugh and smile through all our times!

Recently at this past wedding I was second shooting over the weekend, the grooms father spoke about love during his speech.  He spoke about how the couple was not in fact experiencing love.  They were having feelings.  He then went on to describe love through scripture… “Love is patient, Love is kind.”

His speech was so incredible and so perfect.  It was so true!  He spoke about how love is a choice.  Something that our dear friend got up and spoke about on our wedding day.

Love is a choice you make every day!  It’s not always easy and it’s not always butterflies and goosebumps and romance!

But love is an unconditional choice you make each day… that it true love.

The grooms father wished that for his son and new bride at this wedding this past weekend… and I continue to wish this love for Tuck and I!

We have been experiencing this love for 3 years now… and you keep me laughing and loving and grounded each day!

Thank you for all you have taught me.

Thank you for all you have given me.

Thank you for all you have done for me.

Thank you for all the love you have given me.

This upcoming year might look a bit different for us but it will only make us that much stronger!

Here is to many many MANY more years of laughter ahead of us!

I love you with all my heart and all that I am!

Happy Anniversary Tuck!
