After 10 years with "J", I am now getting divorced and loosing my house in a short sale. (If you want to know how this all happened, I would recommend reading
this post here and this post here) But I am young, only 25, and I have started to close that chapter and explore the next. This is where I find out what I am made of. This is where I seek 'me'

Loving on it


  • I watched the movie Julie & Julia....  LOVED IT.  It made me remember what I went to culinary school for.  I miss cooking and I really miss my food blog - maybe one day I will resurrect it.


  • I'm getting this dresser for my birthday (in 2 weeks!!) - I have been eying it up for a few months now at IKEA.  I love the four small square drawers...I want to separate my thongs from my granny panties delicates and my socks and use one of the drawers to customize my jewelry since I cant find a jewelry box big enough.  Haha, nothing makes me more happier than organizing!
  • My newest family member Angela.  My cousin Karen and her husband Adam (who lost their little boy to Mitochondiral disease) have adopted her (still in processing so we cant show her face).  Angela has Cerebral Palsy and Cortical  Blindness.  God do I love this little girl!  I just love interacting with her - she loves to be held and rough housed.  She likes to spin and bounce and loves kisses.  She is just so special and warms my heart in every way.  You can always follow their story at www.gavinowens.com.

Favorites!

I had to share with you a few of my favorite things right now...

1. My summer mug



















I only ended up with this piece because I felt obligated to, lol!  You know when you go to those in-home parties and you really don't want to buy anything or have any money...you just kinda pick the cheapest thing...yea well thats how I ended up with this awesome mug that I use every single day from Longenberger!  I love it!  Its pretty heavy duty pottery and it has a cool summer design - plus I kinda like not having to use a paper cup everyday and just throw it in the trash. And it keeps my coffee hot for a lot longer!

2. Eat. Pray. Love.



















I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book.  If you havent heard about it yet or read it....get a copy!  This book is so relatable, especially to me.  It is about a woman who has it all and looses it all.  She goes through divorce, identity crisis, money troubles and ends up packing her things and traveling the world.  She visits Italy, India, and Indonesia in search for good food, enlightenment, and herself.  After I read the first chapter, I got my purse and ran out to buy and mail my friend Darby who lives in Boston, MA a copy.  Its. that. good.  And even better yet...they are making this into a movie which stars....Julia Roberts....*squeal!!!


3. Nail Polish













It really is the simple things...I love this nail polish, I just got it in Retro Rose from AVON...so pretty!
