Happy shopping.

tip of the day.

This little guy is a 2 dollar magic wand.

Spring cleaning is in full force even though I think its technically summer, but you get the just.
So I am once again purging unloved household items.
I want to be surrounded only by things that bring my joy.
And that means finally bringing up goodies found and then left in the garage for later use.
Jamie, I know you have SEEN this mess.

I did run into a problem though and for all of you thrifters, these is a mystery solved.
Doesn't it bug you when the sifters/pricemarkers at the thrift store mark your item with a Sharpie and then it runs on you "find"?
errrr, this bugs me.
Not any more though.

As long as it's run on a slick surface, all you have to do is rub a dry erase marker over the area and WA LA.
the sharpie comes right off.
fantastic.

the dust has settled.

It does not get much better than this.
Back to the islands = heaven.

went to a beautiful wedding.
Drank way to much coconut rum.
ate banana pancakes.

came home.
did Disney for 2 days.
Was visited by 3 of my best flight attendant friends for the past 2 weeks.
Stayed up way to late.
Just like old times.

Talked to A thanks to a Port call.
What I would give for reach through the phone technology.

Freaked over the finales of this and this.
and due to Meredith and Derek's house O' candles, we roadtriped to McDreamys real life house.
and saw his wife outside.
and Tori and Dean at the Crib.
and Latoya Jackson crusin' Rodeo drive.
Star studded Memorial day weekend for sure.

Found a new favorite yogurt place.
got great deals at Macy's sale.
whew.

and now the house is dirty and quiet.
Olivia's got a cold too.
A day in PJ's is just what the doctor ordered.

not sure of a title but got alot to say.

This night owl needs to transform into an early bird.

Leaving on a jet plane back to the islands in the morning.

Taking the kids to Maui for the week.

Getting back where our hearts are is going to be a special treat to say the least.

Going on a papaya only diet too.

my spoon and lime are ready.

These times as a single mom of sorts is rough, but so rewarding at the same time.

Its never a dull moment that's for sure.

Above is the adrenaline rushed, worn out mama. That was the hot new shirt I bought to wear to the big estate sale.

It was beyond words.

For real. All I can spat out still is Holy shit and its been a couple days.

I went Friday and Saturday.

Bought the coolest piece ever!! (sorry for no picture yet, I have to put it back together first)Two massive trikes for the kids, a special surprise for my man, and met Pam.

and I swear if the footage is used and I am seen on this show, I am gonna be hysterical. I was geeking out big time over my purchase.

CRAZY.

Kissing my boy in the reflection of the bread box set we bought for Heidi.

and off to finish packing for days full of this.

Aloha and Cheers to Cinco De Mayo.

and for a little scrappy goodness, the beyond creative Kara asked me to guest design over at the Art is found.

This girl is rad. end of story.
