Friday Favorties

April 10, 2015 By Callie Leave a Comment

Phew-we made it! This week has been a little crazy and next week is more of the same. As we speak we are getting our annual 1/2 year pictures taken-eek-can’t wait to see them.

Our week has been filled with recouping and cleaning from Easter. Fun times with friends and Miss Kathy was back at Kindermusik-life is good. I registered Row for ballet and tap for the Fall-eek and there are five of her little friends who will be in the same class which is amazing.

I’m popping on by Momfessionals and linking up to share my favorites for the week. So here are a few of my favorite things.

Mercury glass! I love it, not to mention jars. So I bought one or two pieces and snagged that gol/orangy bunny at Home Goods. I just love how it looks. I plan on adding and filling this jar. I also have some battery operated lights in there for some added pizzaz!

Next up this adorable bench that my friend Jennifer saw while we were garage saling-look I know it’s not a real word but we’ll just go with it. It is so perfect for Row and only $10. She could have totally snatched it for herself since she got there first but she lovingly let me get dibs on it and Row is loving it.

Oh and my mom got this diffuser this week from Young Living. She said we can just keep it at my house since she’s primarily here. She knew I had been eying one and when she said we could keep it at my house I didn’t say no. I’ve been using it with lemon and orange-not together but it smells amazing. Row likes the cool mist!

Creating Gallery Walls

January 16, 2015 By Callie Leave a Comment

I spoke earlier about us moving back into our house after I lived in Massachusetts. We had gotten rid of every non essential piece of furniture. I told myself upon moving back in I would completely make it my own-every inch. I have found in my old uhem age I love a more contemporary style. I scoured pinterest pinning fun home projects. The very first thing I decided to do was make an entry gallery wall.

I have been asked way too many times where I get my frames to even mention. It’s hard to find the things you have imagined in your mind and make them come to home decorating life sometimes. I found this amazing small business called Cut It Out Frames. The awesome thing is there are so many sizes and varieties. They all come in natural wood and then I simply spray painted them to fit my needs. They can become pricy once you start adding so I chose one to start with and then added as my budget allowed. I thought the fact that they didn’t have glass would bother me but I actually love it. The owner makes everything once you order himself and the customer service is amazing!!!!

I also have to give a shout out to the photographers because you know I didn’t take those pictures. My bestie Marc Kelly took our wedding picture. He’s an amazing photographer based out of LA and since he was my man of honor he actually took the pictures as our wedding gift!

Our local photographer is the sweet,bubbly, amazingly patient and creative Melissa who owns Snapped with Love Photography. This girl has been dealing with my baby sass since day 1. I mean she changed my newborn Row’s diaper when I was hobbled over from my c-section without blinking. She deals with toddlers who won’t do ANYTHING and makes it look amazing. She’s local in the Houston area but travels and does sessions in New Orleans from time to time as well….I mean she needs to knock on Brad and Angelina’s door at least twice a year.

This entry way is definitely one of my favorite things! I love changing the pictures out as we take new ones-I save all the old ones behind the picture showing. I also love keeping some of the oldies. I love that I can make it my own and grow it as needed which is why I’m participating in Momfessional’s Friday Favorites!

I hope you have an amazing weekend-with some sun-right!!!!

Friday Favorites

November 14, 2014 By Callie Leave a Comment

It’s Friday-okay so I’m posting Thursday night but it’s Friday! Time for some favorites!!!! I’m joining Momfessionals and her Friday favorite party!

This week has been an amazing ride. Our super fun Aunty Mindy came into town and Row was super psyched to spend time with her-as were we all. She brought us an amazing Mickey waffle maker- DISNEY MICKEY MOUSE NON STICK ELECTRIC WAFFLE MAKER RED AND BLACK which is completely necessary and will be featured next week. Now I totally love Disney. I have been to Disney World 13 times and our next visit is being planned for October 2015 baby! That being said I don’t have a ton of Disney stuff but a waffle maker that makes Mickey heads we now have!!!!

We had our Toddler Thanksgiving party-definitely a favorite- which is really a time for mommies to party and toddlers to run around screaming and owning the place. Everyone brought a different Thanksgiving dish-it was amazing! We brought mini pumpkin pies . Row well she layed on the ground in her turkey outfit and did laps with all her toddler friends. Oh and she actually ate! Row is a tiny one and the newest thing is not eating-sigh. Two months ago she ate everything. Now one day she’ll eat it the next day she won’t-I know I’m not the only one going through this! But she ate!!! Two pieces of chicken and a piece of pumpkin bread she ninja stole off another mama’s plate-toddlers!

While at the party we made plans to go to the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Show!!! I’m so excited! Girl’s Night! It’s going to be a favorite!

The same day I was lucky enough to meet one of our brand new baby friends-just born and bring a freezer meal-recipe later!

My most favorite thing about Row’s birthday was the bake sale stand that hubs made! It’s toddler sized and oh so cute. He built and I painted. Super cute right?! We used it as a photo prop at the party and we will use again for her Spring pictures!

Oh and one last favorite-a favorite icing tip. I used to fill my piping bags by holding them which is how they taught us in cake class. However, the icing would get all over. I started putting the piping bag in a glass and folding it over at the top. It’s amazing! I can fill it to the top easily and then shale down-no mess!
