please pardon my absence...

{via here}

I apologize for pulling a disappearing act around here, this is a super busy yet productive week around here.
I do have a very special event to attend this weekend that I can't wait to share on here. August is turning
out to be an awesome month. Be back soon!

my week through instagram pics...

{camping, new shower curtain, vintage chess set, handsome mister,

beer garden, unhealthy snack}

happy quote...

My life has all of a sudden become very busy, I'm running around like a chicken 

with its head cut off. Although it's easy for me to get caught up in the woe is me,

I have no time for myself trap, I realize that I have an extremely good life and that

happiness is a conscious decision. Perhaps I will buy myself this print to remind me.

etsy picks of the week....

What can I say? When I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed! Mustard, coral and seafoam, those colors

seem to be my obsessions as of late. So that is the theme of my etsy picks of the week:   

       

1. pineapple upside down cake pan

2. cute heart shorts that I would wear daily

3. Love, love the color and pattern of this skirt

4. embroidered cutie

5. I wonder if I could rock these adorable coral sunnies

6. labeling is fun with this fun label gun

7. love this screen printed fabric

8. I had a cute set of mustard melamine bowls once, sigh

9. barefoot twirling in the grass in this dress, yes please

outdoor festival style...

My band had a chance to play peace fest this past weekend and we had a great time. 

I've had this romper in my closet for like 3 years and had never worn it because 

I just couldn't find the right occasion. Well, this was the perfect occasion.

paper crown...

I'm loving these images of Paper Crown, Lauren Conrad's latest fashion endeavor.

the joys of home ownership...

 I haven't really shared any proper pictures of our new home because there is so much I still

wanna do. It's so funny how much has happened in the month that we've lived here. Above

are some pictures of the mister and a friend putting together our new bed frame. It is so

neat, it even has drawers! Having a proper bed frame makes me feel like such an adult.

On the flip side, last weekend we had some intense storms roll through and we woke up

to a basement full of standing water. We unfortunately had boxes full of our stuff still down

there so we had a lot of throwing away to do. This included lots of collectibles, books, pictures,

it was heartbreaking. We tried staying positive and realized it could've been worse.

Oh the joys of owning a home.
