Make It Monday! A little thank you

I wanted to give my mom a little "thank you" for watching Mr. Jackson while my husband and I went on a date this weekend. She is in the process of getting her yard pulled together, so I thought flowers and herbs would be the perfect little gift. I picked up some cosmos, an orange flower I don't know the name of, and rosemary. I didn't want to present it to her in Home Depot bags, or the plastic containers they come in, so I came up with this. The container is a cheese box that was stained and lined with a neutral fabric. I added the flowers, and topped it all off with spanish moss, and a little note with Jackson's pic saying thank you. What do you think? She was pretty happy with it, and I am too!xo

Food Friday! Millet Muffins

The other day I made my first recipe from Heidi Swanson's new book super natural every day. I decided to make a recipe that was a safe bet for Jackson, and I was right. He loves the millet muffins- and they were so easy to make. If you don't already own it, you can go
here to get the book. Since I have an entire basket of fresh strawberries on hand, I think today I will try the roasted strawberry recipe for breakfast tomorrow- yummy!

Thought I'd throw in this last pic of Jackson and Whiskey boy waiting for daddy to come home last night. They usually wait for him together, side by side, it's pretty dang sweet.

On my wish list

A girl can wish right?? It has been a while since I last visited Terrain, and oh did I miss it. There is just too much goodness! Here is a sample of the things that I'm wanting right now, but believe me there's more, lots more.

Eggcellent Weekend!

Good Monday morning! We had a wonderful weekend despite the weather. Saturday night was spent dyeing Easter eggs, enjoying pizza, and lots of laughter. Sunday morning we made our usual big breakfast and relaxed while Jackson enjoyed his first Easter basket. Later on we went to the park, sushi, and home for a little Easter egg hunt. How was your holiday weekend?

Have a great day!

He's One!

My little guy turned one last week. We celebrated on Sunday, what a great day! Both grandmas were able to make it, which was really important. Jackson loved all the attention. He even remembered to take a break from all the activity and smell the flowers. He's becoming quite the character. I love that kid!

due to crazy winds, we celebrated indoors, in his new playroom! This is a close up of his tee-pee and chalkboard wall. I'm still adding the finishing touches to the room.

playing with his choo-choo train on his customized table that mommy made
trying to catch a balloon!

his birthday crown and special spider-man tee

and of course, smelling the flowers.

New Blog Love!

I'm doing my little happy dance this morning. I stumbled upon the most wonderful blog Little Blue Deer! All of the images below I found via this beautiful blog, and I promise this is only a very, very small sampling. I didn't know where to begin. I just started clicking and saving frantically, like maybe her blog would disappear, and I would be left devastated! So, if you are burned out on your usual sites for inspiration, make sure to check out Little Blue Deer. The sooner the better!

Make It Monday!

I found this image via sfgirlbybay, I love it! I have a couple of old shoe forms, and haven't been able to find the right use for them. Now I know. My necklaces currently hang on hooks behind the closet door... BORING! This DIY projects looks easy enough don't ya think??

Happy Monday!
