We are back from vacation and had an amazing time! I will share some pictures later this week when I get the time to upload them.

When we got back home I sent Matt to the grocery store to pick up a few things. This reminded me why men shouldn’t be allowed to grocery shop. He came home with the Jean Huggies diapers for Sterling- yes I am serious, and Busch Light because “he liked the orange camo cans they were in.” I will give him credit he did remember milk. Here is Sterling clearly pissed off about the jean diapers.


I finished reading Heaven is for Real while on vacation and I liked it alot. Many parts of it gave me goose bumps. Now I don’t doubt it is real but I do have a few suspicions since the boy’s father was a minister so I feel like he probably grew up hearing alot about heaven and Jesus. But doubts aside, It is a great faith filled story. I just started the Hunger Games series. It was a little hard to get into at first but now I am digging it.


I am obsessed with this outfit Blair is wearing. I am dying over the blouse and skirt, it is the perfect outfit in my book! Marc Jacobs is a genius. If that blouse and skirt go on sale they are mine!




Via Macy’s and Shopbop

Last Night we made these Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms, Parmesan and Balsamic Vinegar and they were amazing. Matt has issues with green veggies like any man and he could not stop eating these. I highly recommend you make them!

I just read that Anderson Cooper is launching his own talk show. I love me some Anderson but I am wondering how his talk show will be. I really can’t picture him doing anything than the news but I will turn in for sure and give the Silver Fox’s new show a try!

My little nugget starts Toddler Time tomorrow and that makes me a little sad. I am probably going to cry when I drop him off, serioulsy we do everything together. I will say I am excited to have a few hours to myself to get some house projects done though! Anyone else feel sad when their kid started school? Sniff, sniff my baby is growing up.


Enjoy your Mondays!
