{good day}

A cute new sweater + a fun new hairstyle that I've finally figured out how to style...

+ a sweet love note on my way out the door to work = a pretty darn good day.

Hope yours is starting out the same or even better!

1. That two creative little boys live here.
2. That our landscaping desperately needs mulch.

Now that the weather has warmed up all the boys want to do is go outside. They weren't very amused the other day when I kept taking their picture instead of letting them go out...

Can we pleeeeease go outside???

Stop taking our picture and open the door already!!!

Enough of this madness...we're taking matters into our own hands! Ben - you move the bench out of the way and make a run for it! I'll be right behind you and shut the door!

{sneak peek}

I started working on an art project for over our fireplace over the weekend...here is a little peek for you...



It needs some more coats of paint and serious touch ups, but I think I'm in love. Notice a little Orla influence?

Working on something creative definitely lifted a bit of the fog I've been feeling. Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!

{honestly}

Honestly I haven't been feeling so great emotionally lately.

Not that I'm depressed or anything.

Life is pretty great...my boys are growing and beautiful, my marriage is wonderful, my job is going well.

So I should be happy.

But I guess I'm just struggling with not feeling like myself. I've gotten lazy with my eating habits and exercise. I haven't had time (or taken the time) to do the crafty projects that inspire me. I really just need to get my behind in gear and stop being lazy, bottom line.

I have a few decorating projects in my mind that I need to get started on, and I'm contemplating a fun change in my appearance but I'll share that after it happens. I know, I'm a tease.

Today is my Friday so I'm looking forward to a three day weekend and quality time with my family. Hopefully soon I'll have something more inspiring to share with you!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
