Friday Faves: Spring cleaning and spring stock up!
Happy Friday! This week seemed to go by really slow for some reason, but I am SO happy that it is sunny and warm out today! You better believe I busted out my sandals for the occasion! The weekend forecast looks FABULOUS- no chance of rain and sunny skies in the mid 60s...finally some nice weather! The majority of my weekend, however, will be spent in the basement. My husband, MIL and I plan to paint our basement in preparation for the new bar that my husband is building! It'll be well Read More
Friday Faves and Casual Chambray
So after my vacay and all I started to go through a random assortment of photos for this week's Friday Faves and then I got to thinking...do people even want to see this stuff?!

Because if you don't like it, I don't want to post it-- your comments and feedback are what motivates me to continue blogging! I'll gladly listen to your Read More

Top O’ The Morning To Ya! Friday Faves- March 15th
Top o' the morning to ya! (Had to insert a little pre-St. Patrick's Day jargon in there!) I am actually in central Illinois today judging debate at the State Tournament. Pretty intense, let me tell you..but some seriously talented kids! Anyways, here are my Friday Faves from this past week: 1. I got a no-chip manicure with Groupon I purchased a month ago...after my latest attempt with Sally Hansen nail strips, I was excited to get a manicure by a professional! Nothing says spring like a Read More
Lace Love and Friday Faves
Happy Friday! This week seemed so long for some reason...I blame it on the snow day I had on Tuesday...threw my schedule out of whack! But hey, I'm not complaining! Nevertheless, here are this week's Friday Faves: Lots of food and Izzy this week...hmmm! 1. Made chicken parmesan meatball subs for dinner last night, except I used ground turkey. YUM! I must admit, though, when I put the subs in the broiler, I may have set off the smoke alarm. Whoops :-) I set the timer for 60 Read More
Spring has Sprung! Friday Faves- March 1st
Happy Friday...and Happy March! I can't believe it is already March...we still have a ton of snow on the ground so it's a little hard to believe. I literally cannot wait to get outside in the warm weather. Spring means: running outside, no more shoveling snow, taking Izzy for long walks, and busting out the cute spring clothes and open toed shoes, among other things... I don't have a ton of Friday Faves for today because it's been really busy at work. Nevertheless, here's what I've been up Read More
