What I {heart} Wednesday

 Candy Pumpkins!  So many fond memories of this little sugary seasonal treat sensation. 


only the "big bag" will do!





Rain Check

I guess we had the typical Michigan fall weekend...chilly with a chance of rain.  Saturday we were supposed to go through round two of our family photos with my hubby's side of the fam.  But, outdoor photos don't work so well with misty precipitaion. 
So instead I will share with you some of my favorites from the shoot we had back in June.  Lilly is 9 months old here. We had fun shooting as we were wandering downtown Kalamazoo.  As the shoot went on it got closer and closer to Lilly's bed time, but she did good.
You can see more pics form this shoot @  Kim Miller lifestyle photography!


I just love those cheeks!



Smile Lilly! I know you want to...



My parents with my niece and nephew (that is Lil's what is going? on face)

  Shortly after these pictures were taken I donated all that hair (well 12 inches) to locks of love.  So once we cash in our rain check for our next round of family shots I will have a new look. I love cutting my hair, it is the fastest way to change something about yourself that is not perminent.

Happy Friday!



I need a nap :)

My Lilly has decided she is not a fan of teething and as a result is not a fan of sleep.  Poor baby was up at 3...then 3:15...then 3:45 and so on until about 5:30 this morning.  The hubby and I alternated between shifts of "sleeping" and baby rocking. 

Luckily for me and my coworkers I was able to get my Biggby "Super iced coffee" on my way in this morning.  Oh, how I missed Biggby when I lived in FL!  They have a new drink for the fall they call a "Chumpkin" Any guesses? {It's a mix of Chai latte and pumpkin spice latte} So good to be home...

 So, what do you do on a Friday when you're sleepy, and would rather be at home sewing than in front of a computer at work?  {I would for one would not be  HERE or THERE looking at fabric I need for the pattern I am currently finishing up!} **wink wink**

Mitten State

I have been so in love with the weather we are having here, I am so thankful to be back in Michigan and out of the sweltering Florida heat.  I'm sure mid January I will be singing another tune but for now...I'm in love.   It is cool at night and mild during the day, perfect hoodie and jeans weather.  It has prompted me to get indoors finally though and get to work on all my wonderful projects.  I keep wondering why I have not gotten to work on all the tasks I have piling up but when you have a house to settle into somethings just take time.  I have had some time to do some online shopping however, my friend turned me on to this little shop and I think I am going to have to get something soon...I was thinking about this one.

or maybe this one...

So true..unless your from Texas then is is all Coke.

No internet?!?!

This lack of Internet is giving me a serious case of bloggers-block.  We recently bought our first home!  A great price on some great land only 2 miles from the main drag in town, but yet our back yard butts up to a soy bean field at the moment so you have a country feel.  The only problem with this so far has been...NO INTERNET!  I mean there are ways we could go about getting it {dial up I suppose} but it would cost us some serious $$ that we'd rather use for other things {like diapers}.  The fact that I can only blog now when I have down time at work or when I happen to be out in the evenings at my favorite Biggby is apparently too much pressure and I can never come up with anything good to say or report or comment on.... {UG!}
