vintage obsession

Currently in love with buying vintage dresses. I am on the hunt. I don't really know what I will do with them, but I just feel I need to them. To start a collection.  Like collecting art..... nah, I'll totally wear em.

I could walk my kids to school, make cookies, have Tupperware parties. You know. Such good images come with these dresses . I would probably be a better mom/wife. Like instantly.

Bento..ish

So, what do you do with all your "pins"? Hmmm?? I don't do much with them either.But man I love that pinterst! Every now and again I do actually use them!! I know, whaaat?! So of course I pinned all these cute little Bento boxes and it wasn't till I saw this that I actually tried anything.

I am not laughin cause it's funny I am laughing cause it's true!

Anyways...Finally did it and I though they turned out just darling.

1)Pears 2)Cucumbers 3)Jack Spratt's Bread with white bean Hummus 4)Celery sticks with Adams Peanut Butter and Reeses Pieces.
And the kids ate everything. Bonus. And, surprise, they liked the bread with hummus the best! So blown away by that. So I got all excited and wrote a little list of different healthy lunches I can do. Wish me luck. We will never change unless we try right.


Side note: Her idea to wear fake glasses to school. That's my girl!

crush

I have a crush on the South.



I have never been there, so I blame all the books I've read, and movies I've watched.



I dream of a slower pace. Acres and acres of beautiful property, with low branches swinging in the breeze.



Large inviting porches where you watch the children catching fireflies in the distance.



Southern drawl and river boat cruises.



Jazz music and open terrace cafes with low lighting.



It's all very romantic in my head. I don't know if it it's even like that now days. Or if these are just images of the past. I am sure this post is just dripping with cliches. Never the less. I will go there.

baby bed head makes me smile

Now imagine just seeing the top of this fluffy madness running back and forth across the kitchen while you are eating breakfast. And, yes, those are grizzly bear footy pajamas. Ha!

sunday...

x marks the spot...

The kids love going to Grandma and Grandpa's house! It has become a bit of a tradition to have "treasure hunts". They absolutely love it. Grandpa makes up clues and hides them all around the house. They run around giggling and working together to decipher the clues. In the end they always get to pick a prize from the treasure chest. I am taking notes because these are the things the kids will remember. I want to do this kind of cute stuff for my grand kids one day.

Seriously, don't know how many times I've said "I wish they had that in my size!" Needless to say, I live vicariously through my daughter. -Charity

Guest post. My living room....

So cool when people want you to guest blog. Even better when it's your own family that likes you! How I Keep Sane is my sister's blog with tons of cool diy's and BONUS she is funny, and bonus bonus, she is beautiful, talented and lives in sunny San Diego. Jealous.
Anyway..
She wanted me to do a little write up of my gallery wall. Here it is. Check it! -Charity
