Monday Musings

I hope everyone's New Year is off to a great start. We were at the coast for the extended weekend with Baker's family. We had a fun time, all the cousins yelling and running around the house playing together with the occasional fighting or rough housing match. Now, we are home and facing the reality of putting away Christmas.

I have NEVER had my Christmas decor up this late and am trying to find a way to incorporate the soft white lights that I love at Christmas into our everyday decor. For Christmas, I ended up staging a small tree on the countertop in my kitchen. It's my Starbucks tree :) Now I'm thinking I may turn it into a Valentine's tree. The picture doesn't do the tree justice. At least in real life you don't see the strand of lights. It was a magical coffee tree ;)I have some new years resolutions in the making that I'll be sharing with you soon and a giveaway coming up on Wednesday. You won't wanna miss that! Happy Monday!

A Weekend Away

We spent the weekend at the coast. It was just what we needed. We were able to relax and enjoy being together as a family and the weather was just beautiful and warm! At least warmer than Portland and with no wind, it felt like a little bit of heaven in October.

Only my child would ask to have his shirt off and go into the freezing water in 60 degree weather in October. He begged all weekend to go into the ocean that we finally let him on Sunday. Once he fell and got completely wet, he had enough!

4th in Review

I know this is a little late, but these 4th of July pics are too cute to not post!

Happy Hump Day!

Life's a Beach

This is where I am spending the extended holiday.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend too!

PS - Thank you for all the comments regarding my puppy.

Big Hugs.

PPS - Whadda 'ya think about my new signature? Too big? Too bright? Too slanted? Or maybe it's okay? I'm open to objective suggestions :)

Human Bean

I'm a dork. I know it. But, look at the sunshine, the cute pink sweatshirt and the fact that I indeed am a great endorsement for The Human Bean. BTW, if you have the opportunity to try their coffee, then I highly suggest their signature drink, Human Bean Supreme (it's made with chocolate milk). Yum. sigh. Then you might wanna jog a couple extra miles. I digress. Maybe someday I should open one of these little coffee huts. THAT would rock.
