Pin Party

Pin Party # 2 took place a couple of weeks ago and it was so fun! I must say I look forward to these parties so much to be able to hang with the girls, make something for our home and eat some yummy food.

Mom & I (& Audrey) made Christmas candle holders out of epsom salt and a glue mixture to give the illusion of snow.

Jenni's Thanksgiving Wreath

Jen K & Regan making more Fall Wreaths

The finished product!

Mom made her candles out of mason jars. Love em'!

I made mine out of votives.

They produce a nice little glow, but I have to warn you they are messy. It's probably a good idea to seal it with some sort of sealer.

I just marked our next Pin Party on the calendar for October.

I'm so excited and trying to figure out what my next project will be.

Candy Corns

Whimsey Painted Pumpkins

Canvas Nailhead Trim Bulletin Board

Scenes from our Weekend

This weekend we enjoyed the Fairy Ball, reading books and a picnic in the park.

Creating flower halos for the Fairy Ball

The Paseo Arts District hosts this every year and this was our first year in attendance and definitely not our last. The Ball featured ballet dancers dressed as fairies, face painting, flower halo/magic wand making, snow cones and music.

the most amazing sunset from our chairs....

Ava catching up on some sleep.

Nana reading a book to Audrey before bed

Picnic in the park

on the menu:: tuna salad sandwiches~pickled okra~sweet pickles~bananas~pb&j~chips & salsa~lemon cake. We are having perfect picnic weather!

Only 5 more days and The Hub will be back home after a 10 day trip. I wouldn't have been able to survive without the help of my mom and step dad this weekend. A BIG shout out to them for saving my sanity and stepping in to help me entertain the girls.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Happy Monday

Happy Monday!

We had a great low key weekend.

Audrey spent the night with Nana & Papa on Friday so Ava & I got to spent some alone time together for once.
Football season is here so that means I've lost my hub for a while. He spent the majority of the weekend with his buddies watching games.

Organized/cleaned, ate good food, watched football, celebrated Heidi's birthday and I caught up on some much needed rest on Sunday while Conor entertained the girls. It was heaven!

We actually had a bit of fall weather this weekend!

Is there anything better than the changing of seasons from summer to fall?

While I was cleaning and organizing the house back into shape, Ava snagged my kitchen sponges and wouldn't let go.

Feeding herself applesauce is quite the mess

So we enjoyed some bath time together.

Her hair is reallllly trying to grow...

Saturday brought beautiful weather, a day of celebrating Heidi & a football watch party. One of Heidi's gifts was a swing/slide play set. The girls had no fear.

Heidi, Ava & Audrey bouncing like crazy!

We made a necklace for Heidi after she pointed out that she loved Audrey's.
Now they're twinks.

A Tangled Party

Vava went to town on the cake.

Loving my PhotoStudio app!

Julee and I on the patio watching the storm roll in. It felt sooo great. Shortly after, we lost power so that put an end to the birthday/watch party!

My weekend ended with some heavenly chocolate covered popcorn and Bravo on Sunday evening after the girls went to bed.
A nice down time moment!

Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Tulsa TIme

At 10am on Labor Day Sunday I said to The Hubs, "let's go to Tulsa". At 11:15 we were on the highway heading north to The Tulsa Zoo because we're crazy like that. Tulsa is the perfect road trip destination because it's only a little over an hour away. I guess everyone in Oklahoma had the same idea. The line into the Tulsa Zoo was insane. We waited for about 45 minutes total before changing our minds and heading to Utica Square (where I secretly wanted to go anyway, it was meant to be...don't you love it when that happens :). We grabbed lunch at Pepper's Grill, did a lil shopping and walking and headed back home.

Love Spontaneous Road Trips!! And so did Ava!

Utica Square & perfect weather

Picking Mommy Flowers

A lady working at Restoration Hardware fell in LOVE with Audrey. She couldn't get over her bows, shoes & outfit. She did look pretty snazzy that day.

Shortly after getting home, Nick stopped by and hung with the family.....

while I snuck off to our new Farmer's Market to get these.

I have been wanting this tiny little bowl from Anthropologie for forever, probably like 2 years. I just figured they sold out of this design because it's been so long since I first spotted the Ikat pattern. While in Utica Square we swung by Anthro and I saw the bowl all by itself on the shelf and I just HAD to get it. I love it so much and it looks great in my bathroom holding my end-of-the-day jewelry pieces.

LOVIN the Lime!

TGIF!!!
