Happy UnBirthday!

Happy Birthday little blog! You are a year old!

Don't let looks fool you. It may look pretty but it tasted like poo. Or at least what I think poo would taste like. Don't mix quinoa flour with sweet, delectable, chocolatey cupcake goodness. Don't do it.
Seriously.

This cupcake's saving grace the chocolate chips I shoved in the middle before sticking them in the oven. My subconscious knew they were going to be terrible.

Leena ate out all the part around the chocolate chips when I broke it open for her then left the outsides. This kid can't be fooled.
Poor kid.

Cheerio however thought it was tasty because you know, cats are the authority on good food. Little butt lickers.

At least my outfit was cute.
Dress: Little shop in my hometown. "Expression"
Necklace: Violet Bella :)
Belt: Thrifted
Jeans: Kohl's...I think
Boots: The commissary in El Paso.

Other than that we ran errands, played outside, made two necklaces for the shop, watched Leena run around like she was going to self destruct at any moment, you know, the "I'msotiredI'mgoofyandlaughingateverything" kind of self destruct, and made sushi for dinner. It was rather yummy. But now, it's time for bed. It was a good day.

Thank you all again and don't forget to enter the giveaway!

Peace and Love

Just hanging out

Around here when we haven't been spending our time with Ms. Donna and the brood or creating or making messes we've just been hanging out.

Enjoying the sun.
Soaking it up.
Breathing.
Cuddling.
Giggling.
Time outs.
Pretending.

Living.

Leena likes to dress herself.

The other day I got the pleasure of photographing my friend's 3 week old. I already have baby fever, coupled with trying for baby number two, taking photos of this cutie made it 1000% stronger. Gah.

He.
Smelled.
Wonderful.

I wish I could bottle newborn scent.

Which by the way, I find it funny when people...like I just did...let the world know we are "trying". That may be too much information but welcome to our lives. Wink wink. SURPRISE, we're in love.

ANYWAYS.

Leena picked flowers, like she does anytime she finds any in the yard, and gave me a daffodil today. It went perfectly with my outfit. She's a genius.

Dress: Skeleton Key Vintage
And um, Hello Technicolor Dream Dress!
It's my birthday next month...just thought I'd throw that out there. ;)
Jeggings: Target
Shoes: Modcloth
Belt: Thrifted
Note to self. "Self, you're not a cat. You can't fit nicely on the ledge."

Joey surprised us by coming home Friday night after two days of not hearing from him. Not sure how long he's home for but we are getting as much of him as we can. He also started on our raised garden beds in the backyard. Can't wait to have our fully functioning organic garden.

On the 22nd, two days from now, it will be my blog's one year birthday! What better way to spread the celebration cheer than a giveaway? I will announce this tomorrow so stay tuned!

Peace and Love!
