Monday Blues... Leopard Shoes!

Just stopping in to say Hello!

It seems I've caught a mean case of the Monday Blues!


This look features a comfy Chambray Top, & Denim Jeans from Kohl's, Watch & Loafers by MK, and a cozy infinity scarf from Claire's, which I kindly borrowed from my daughter's closet. ;)

'Til Next Time... Take Care!

Pop, Clink, Fizz!

Hello Darlings!

It's 2015 guys, and I'm feeling BEYOND BLESSED! When I reflect on 2014, IT WAS A BREEZE! The year  came and went so FAST for me!  BUT, looking back, I see lots of joyful, noteworthy memories.  I'm incredibly HAPPY for GODS GRACE & MERCY! I'm overjoyed at the fact that God saw fit to give me another chance, I'm still amongst the living! 

So,yes, this girls got a little extra "pep-in-her-step", for she's eager to begin this journey into the New Year! 

CHEERS to beautiful MEMORIES & new BEGINNINGS

As Kate Spade says it... "POP, CLINK, FIZZ" to the road ahead!

The Makeover Edition...

Hello There, Marvelous One!

I hope this post finds you in great spirit, on this beautiful Sunday afternoon!

I'm currently in the process of giving my daughter a room makeover as that's what's on her Christmas List this year.

Funny thing is we just finished painting the walls last night, and yet there are only three days remaining before Christmas day.  Nope, I'm not freaking out anymore, we've got it all under control. The most time consuming part of the makeover was finding the bedding (and other decorative pieces), choosing the paint, and painting the walls.. the rest is easy peasy!


Here are my favorite picks from Land of Nod!


1. Snug as a Bug Quilt

2. Snug as a Bug Sham

3. Well Trained Dog Sham

4. Well Trained Dog Bedding

5. Pom Pom Pillow

6. Doily Floor Bin

7. Gold Foil Confetti Panels...

8. Canvas Closet Organizers

9. Flea Market Storage Basket

10. Gold Rock Finials 

11. (Gold) Lottie Dottie Wall Decals

Have you shopped at LON Before? 

If so, than I'm sure you'd agree that they have some awesome finds.

 Their children's bedding is FULL of whimsical  charm and personality-- they truly have something for everyone.

Meet Comet!

We recently welcomed one of Santa's sweet little crew members into our home. His name is Comet, and he's been on the grind, camping out just about everywhere. Comet is apart of the "Elf On The Shelf" committee. We scooped him up from Target a few weeks back.   His sole purpose is to keep an eye on the kids over the Christmas holiday. He takes daily notes and reports his findings to Santa, you know, to help sort out all of the "Naughty or Nice" business. As you can imagine, everyone's on their absolute best behavior, even the pup!

My favorite part of the "Elf On The Shelf Christmas Tradition", is hearing and seeing my daughter's excitement when she spots Comet in a new location around the house, I mean she gets really animated, I'm talking, jumping, screaming, pointing, running around, the whole shebang! 

I figured it would be fun to share a few of Comets hangouts with you guys... Check out what this little guys been up to...

Welp, one thing's for sure... Comet's NOT afraid of heights, lol!

Are you and your family joining in on the "Elf On The Shelf" fun? If so, what's your Elf's name and where has he/she been hanging out?

Holiday Update...

So, it's my most favorite-est time of the year! And yes, I did just extra things up a bit with the addition of the "est", lolz!  Granted, everyday that the lord blesses us to partake of a new day, we MUST REJOICE, and feel the need and desire to give THANKS--I'm all about that. HOWEVER, when it comes to birthday celebrations, I've always felt the need to turn things up a notch (or three). That said, when we speak of celebrating the son of the MOST HIGH, the ONE & ONLY, the ALPHA & OMEGA, I feel an undeniable urge to roll out the red carpet... I feel the need to shake things up a bit. What better way to do it, than sprucing up the holi-cor (holiday decor) with happy, vibrant colors.  Colors that bring about cheer, colors that remind me  that JESUS is alive, living and very much worthy of celebrating. 

Here's a peek of what we've done this year...

I thoroughly enjoy when hubs and I are able to round up the kiddos and share in a good ole fashioned cup of mama's Hot Cocoa...

So I whipped up some tasty marshmallows!

NICE INDEED!!!!

Let me tell ya, Jet Puff ain't got nuthin on me (in my Denzel W. "Training Day" voice)

Homemade Marshmallows are quite addictive... 

We managed to stumble across these gourmet chocolate bars (at Target).... the marshmallow one was a HUGE hit with the kids and their friends... I recommend you give them a whirl! They are PERFECT for making s'mores

IF there were such-a-thing, as "Christmas In A Cup" this would be it... Just Ah-mazingly delightful

I'd love to see what you've been up to, so leave a comment and share what's happening in your neck of the woods.

Cheers & Blessings!
