Vinyl it!

I am loving me some vinyl! I finally bought me some from
Now I proudly display my KitchenAid on my counter...who wouldn't, right?
(not that I bake much, but it certainly adds personality)

Must reads


I have followed these two blogs for quite a while--years, I think. These are amazing women--I admire their strength and courage. These ladies published books the past month and I HAD to get them!! I'm not book critic nor am I good at writing to describe the book--you MUST read it for yourself. Each of these books had a message for ME. I definitely have a different perspective and a new appreciation for all that I have.

March Photo-A-Day


my first time joining in on a "photo-a-day challenge". it was fun each day to think about the "word/topic" and find that perfect photo, as well as play with my apps to change the texture of the photo and add text.
day 1: i actually took this picture end of december, but haven't used it for anything yet and i couldn't come up with anything...this worked perfect!

day 2: i love my smoothy for breakfast--yogurt, frozen fruit and crystal light...delish!

day 3: out my front door on a beautiful saturday morning

day 4: almost everything a girl needs at her fingertips (minus the dust on my iphone dock)

day 5: this lil miss makes me smile everyday, especially when i get to pick her up from school

day 6: this is what i was doing at 5pm this day...setting up my hubby's iphone for our family calendar with cozy and making my wedding planner binder for our youngest adult girl

day 7: my ew la la zebra glasses when i want to change up the look (or i need a break from the contacts) and sadly, i wear black pants every.day
day 8: my hubby and i needed a visit to the jordan river temple, what a beautiful site out my window driving up the driveway that morning
Day 9: Red - my.favorite.color...yet i still didn't take a picture of any-thing red!!
day 10: words with friends is my addiction and on this day i just happened to play the word loud...but it only got me 20 points

day 11: love a good phone chat

day 12: i use this fork for lunch, it was in the drawer..random...but i love the design on it

day 13: although i see this sign waaaaaay too much...it's my favorite place to get a good dt. coke

day 14: who wouldn't love this view out their sunroof?

day 15: i see this way too much zipping to work/pick up kids/get kids to their activites...but i love it my little car--it's got good get-up-and-go

day 16: love my brighton sunglasses but i sure hate it when i put them up onto my head and my hair gets stuck in the silver part--ugh!

day 17: my cute little brother made this for me in 1992 when he was at cubscouts...notice the wear and tear on it--chipped and some type of pen...i wear this every year

day 18: i love all the pillows for decor on my bed, but there's no where to put them when it's time for bed but in the corner on the floor, oh well

day 19: oh this was perfect for this day...a text to my hubby who was taking a test and i actually wanted to celebrate but darn auto-correct changed it to calibrate...oh...so funny!!

day 20: my other addiction...drawsome...i might be too detailed on my drawings but if i'm drawing a person, they must have eyes,, ears, hair lips...so fun

day 21: delicious lunch of junior bacon cheeseburger with my hubby at our favorite place...astro burger...delish

day 22: love my bath & body works foam soap and a crock pot full of soapy water to soak off a pinterest recipe...the other side is full with every stinking pot i own--at least they are clean
 Day 23: Moon - honestly...i'm up late enough to see the moon, but never took a photo...although there were "other moons" i thought of taking pictures of...LOL
day 24: we saw this animal at the southtowne mall, that counts...right?

Day 25: Breakfast - i didn't have breakfast this day
day 26: i love my toyota camry, ReAL salt lake and my red heart

day 27: it's not often i find my name on anything
day 28: a 2p-3p "need a snack" break--100cal popcorn with 2 mini twix, 1 mini kit kat...so what was the point of a 100cal snack? oh well...it was yummy!
day 29: my sweet little Megan's toes...oh they are so cute. i love how teeny they are, especially when her toes are painted...soon!

day 30: my new horse, Star. i'm in love. she's so gentle and sweet (and i'm a total newbee to horse world, but looking forward to learning from my mom!)
day 31: "music is what feeling sounds like"
