Inspiration.



Twenty years from now, you


will be more disappointed


by the things you did not do,


then by the things you did do.


So cast off the bow line,


sail away from the safe


harbor, catch the wind, and


dream explore and discover.


- Mark Twain

Can't a girl dream?

Today I feel excited. My lovely friends and I have been tossing around the idea of a business prospect, which we will discuss more at our upcoming craft day! I love this idea. With our insanely busy lives, we all have those projects that keep being put on the back-burner. But those projects are often soooo satisfying to complete! So I can't wait to get together and work on that inspiration board I've been envisioning for so long.....exciting!

In other news, recent conversations with a friend lead me to ask the question of why is it so hard to battle emotions with logic? It's so interesting how we can logically understand something so well, but our hearts can still feel a way that is totally contradictory. How do you fight it? Stay strong. Easier said than done? Absolutely. Have faith my friend, this too shall pass.

Home is where the heart is

This week seems to be crawling by for me. Perhaps its because I had such a pleasant weekend!


We started out with a date night on Friday night, which started with homemade breakfast pizza for dinner. It was so delicious and easy to make, thanks to this recipe! Here is how ours turned out:




Then we went to watch The King's Speech which we both really loved! Saturday morning after visiting the grandparents we cleaned the house and I decorated it with flowers, something I find to really bring joy to the house in the simplest way! My new thing is to buy one variety bouquet from Trader Joe's (haven't bought one over $6) and break it apart, displaying it in mason jars around the house. Now, I have three cute flower displays and you can't beat the price. Ranunculus are one of my absolute favorite. This bouquet had a very romantic element to it, which I picked for our bedroom and positioned right next to our wedding photo :)




Happy Wednesday!
