LOVE

So as I've been browsing blogs over the last day or so I have found things I LOVE not necessarily things I NEED but still they make me feel all warm and fuzzy! So here we go!

I love pictures! I love taking them, looking at them, playing with them and so on and so forth....So when I saw this over on Ali Edwards blog it was love at first sight!

It's a gorgeous image from isphotography and I think it would add just a fun touch of whimsy to any room. I also love this one she has of the Eiffel tower!

The second etsy fun find from Ali's blog this morning is evalicious, I am loving her "he said, she said" album that Ali is giving away. It's not in her etsy shop but she does have a few others that make it easy for someone to throw together a quick mini album.

Next up is this VIP bag from Tintamar that I saw on Maegan's cute blog! It's perfect for storing your essentials for easy grab and go from a bigger bag, and the colors are so fun with the exception that there isn't purple!

Speaking of Maegans I recently stumbled across the blog http://www.lovemaegan.com/ if you haven't seen it check it out she's such a fun fashionista that has awesome thrifting skills!

Last but not least going back to my love for pictures. Forget using this as a dining room I would totally love to have this as a work space? After all what can be more inspiring then being surrounded by images of the people you love and images that make your heart flutter like the one above! (Image from A cup of Jo)

I hope you enjoyed my finds and they made you smile too!
P.S. I am going to participate in Project 365 but I am playing catch up so hopefully I'll have a post on that soon! Are any of you guys going to join in?

Blah!

My brain is not working very well again today due to lack of sleep so you guys are going to get a taste of the Rambling portion of this blog today.

1. Having a sick husband is very much like having a sick baby.....How so?

a. They wake up at all hours of the night

b. They need immediate attention

c. Even though they are grown up you will be wide awake from 10 things being knocked over in the kitchen while they are looking for medicine. You will then have to go and point out the NyQuil for them. ( I did this without my glasses and I am basically blind if I don't have them on)

d. When you have to get up 2 hours later for work they are fast asleep as if nothing ever happened.

e. The only saving grace is they are cute when they are asleep so you can't be mad at them. Love you jay!

2. We try to go to the weekly Ab Attack class at our YMCA, I used to really enjoy these classes but now we have a new instructor. She is very nice don't get me wrong but she expects me to do this:

Several times in the 30 minute class and I can't balance it for so long! The first time we went the ball fell on my face, this last time it rolled away and the instructor said "Please don't play with your ball". There was only 6 of us in this class and I was pretty embarrassed, but at least I was attempting unlike the others! (Photo from about.com)

3. The gym was closed yesterday and will be closed again today so I have had some time to work on our engagement album, I am still not back into the groove of scrapbooking so in two hours last night I only finished two pages....and they weren't anything to brag about either!

4. Are you wearing pink today? Today is Breast Cancer Awareness day so put on some pink to support all the brave, amazing women who have survived, are going through, or will go through this! (Photo from http://www.serenitybeginswithin.com/)5. I was drooling over this post on What I Wore today.....Scarves are one of my two weaknesses and I can never have enough! I am currently in love with this one:If you like it you can find it here: http://ww3.komen.org/promiseshop/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=706-04670

6. Someone loves hummus sandwiches just as much as me! http://www.katheats.com/ I don't know that I could do such heavy breakfasts in the morning but it is interesting to read about.

7. Gossip Girl makes me want to wear headbands all the time although I don't think I could pull them off these are still pretty cute! http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ I love the blue lace one...a cute way to turn a bad hair day into a good one!

8. I think I have rambled enough so I will stop now....Hopefully you were able to make some sense of this!
