This Favorite comes after an email reminder from a reader in Oakland, California about how wonderful this company’s poufs are! And she is soooo right!! Pixie Dust Decor is a DARLING company that offers poufs, bibs, blankets, burp cloths, tuffets…loads of wonderful cozy things!
I love all of the fabric choices Pixie Dust Decor offers, each item gives you the option to see swatches and collection photos. Not only are they all so cute, but SUPER soft too! We…
My most Favorite Things??
My family.
It’s no secret. And I’m sure you feel the same about your own. As we are down to 2 weeks before our family has 5 people in it (CRAZY!), all I can think about is how fortunate I am to have the incredible husband (and Dada) that I do, and how darling our little girls are (even if they can be little stinkers sometimes too!!)
And I think it’s nice to have small happies for yourself displayed daily reminding you of special moments, or of those…
Happy Monday Everyone!
First off, a quick apology. It seems Feedburner has been playing some selective tricks with the MFE Readers & Followers and randomly deciding who it wants to send daily subscriptions to and who it doesn’t, and it changes throughout the week. So, we switched our subscription service this past weekend. You will now be receiving your daily emails through Mail Chimp. I’m doubly crossing my fingers that this solves the problem for everyone, but please let me know if anyone is stil having issues.
Thank you!!
Now onto the fun for…
These weeks keep flying by, HOW does that happen?!?!? I must say, I LOVED my week off from cooking!! Such a treat! I can honestly say I have never done that before, but will definitely again. It was obviously a little pricier than cooking every meal, but if you balance it between some lower priced places, it’s not too bad. And fun for older kids too, you could have everyone pick a place for a night.
I was asked about good tips for hanging pictures.
I wish I was the perfect one to ask.
This is one of those times that I knew would happen when you would see that I’m not really perfect and that I truly just wing it in a lucky way 90% of the time!
Here goes anyway.
I love photos.
Always have, always will.
If you’ve been reading my blog, then you know I’m addicted to photos that
Yep, organizing is still going on in our house.
And I know I’ve written about this great feature The Container Store has,
but I just have to tell you about it again.
Has anyone ever used their “Click and Pickup” feature online??? HEAVEN ON EARTH!! I swear, more places should have a feature like this. I don’t necessarily need things delivered to my door, though there are definitely times that that is helpful, (which is why I love Amazon and…
January!
Wow! If you’re reading this, then you survived the holiday chaos!Â
Congratulations!
I’m fully expecting my Dr to say on Tuesday that I need to QUIT DOING SO MUCH….but not quite sure how that works. How do you keep up with 2 Littles, and your life, and the holidays and not stay completely and TOTALLY busy?!?!
My husband turned to me last night and said he couldn’t believe today was only Sunday, that it had felt like the longest week…..I just giggled…
I’ve lived in some TINY places. At times I thought I COULD move to New York as I’ve found ways to make EVERYTHING fit and still have access to it. Funny thing is, some of the tricks I’ve learned over the years have become second nature and normal to me so they don’t seem that unusual. But when I was visiting with a friend the other day, she told me I needed to share me “jar storage” with you all…and honestly, I’ve been using them for so long, I wasn’t even…
There is no better description for Juliska’s tableware, than their own description.
It truly could be “the most beautiful tableware in the world“.
And I’m not the only one to think so – House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Metropolitan Home, Martha Stewart Living, countless celebrities, high end department stores and my very own book club all feel the same way!
What I love most about Juliska’s products is that they are FAMILY FRIENDLY.
(And it doesn’t hurt that they are BEAUTIFUL and FUNCTIONAL too.)
David and…
Do you ever wish you could just *ERASE* things from your past??
That bad boyfriend in highschool…..ERASE.
The time you ran your 10 speed into the back of Dad’s car….ERASE.
The extra 5 lbs you gained from too much holiday snacking (last year) and you still have not gotten rid of….ERASE.
If ONLY it were that simple.
But it is that simple to erase the wonderful artistry that our Littles put on our walls, cabinets, baseboards, etc.
I’ll admit it now before you read any further, I have a few quirks. You already know that I’m an organization nerd...but now you’ll also know that I can’t stand to get my hands wet from condensation on cold drinks. No idea where it came from, but I can’t stand it. So much so that the sweet girls that used to assist us at my previous life office job, used to tape a folded napkin around my cold water bottles when they were setting up for our meetings (can we…
I know you all probably don’t want to hear all this, but sometimes I just have to laugh at my life and then I feel like I need to share it with someone…so here goes…
I was reading a post from one of my favorite OC Mom Bloggers, Peace, Love and Momminess, who wrote a post for OC Family this week and I had to chuckle at the irony. She was describing how a simple, inexpensive “Honey Do” task for her husband leads to no good…
I love to be organized. My husband is convinced I was the biggest nerd growing up, and I probably was (but he doesn’t think so now when he is searching for his almonds in the pantry!)
I would get the urge to reorganize my closet or room, and stay up all night. During the summers in grade school, my mom didn’t mind at all – and as a mom myself now, I totally understand – who could blame her…..her daughter wanted to thourghly clean and organize her room…Go to town! She also likes to…
OK I’m totally new at taking photos with a nice camera so don’t be too critical yet….I’m lucky if I can turn the camera on! I tried to get better night time photos of these pumpkins so you could see them glowing, but OH WELL!! Hopefully you get the drift!
I love Flameless Battery Operated Candles. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE real candles and their natural glow, but with Littles running around, AND trying to muster up the energy to…
But it’s nice when people think so – kind of makes you feel like you’re doing something right! I am so very thankful for all the amazing feedback from yesterday! Awesome emails and calls and comments…it made my whole day that the Labor of Love it took to put it all together was actually worth it. And now I can’t wait to start filling that Favorites Gallery!
However, it’s probably important for you all to know that I’m human.
I had a voice mail from a friend yesterday who was dying that I was…
We laughed out right when we got this photo! This is our older daughter, Addie at EVERY moment!  At the time, Hayden was 4 weeks and Addie was a year.  Every day since has been EXACTLY the same!
Everyone that knows me, knows that I have an addiction to photos, but seriously, as a mom that thinks her kids are beyond adorable, how could I not?!?!!
(Moms, you KNOW what I’m talking about!)
