30 days of pictures

I am going to be refocusing this blog. I have tried not to turn it into a "mommy blog", but I'm a mom now, and most of the things I have to say are about that. I am trying to become better at domestic type things (cooking, sewing, cleaning, crafts, decorating etc) and reading a ton of blogs to that effect currently. While I am trying to figure out what to do I'm going to do a 30 day photo challenge. Enjoy and I will hopefully return with some focus to this blog, and maybe a personal touch I feel that it has been lacking.

Here is the layout of what is to come for the next 30 days:

Day one: a photo of you.
Day two: a photo of yourself at least a year ago.
Day three: a photo that makes you happy.
Day four: a photo of a place you’d like to visit.
Day five: a photo that makes you laugh.
Day six: a photo of someone you love.
Day seven: a photo of something you stand for.
Day eight: a photo of something you enjoy doing.
Day nine: a photo of yourself when you were a baby.
Day ten: any photo you like for any reason.
Day eleven: a photo of a night you loved.
Day twelve: a photo of when you were happy.
Day thirteen: a photo of one of your favorite movies.
Day fourteen: a photo of your best friend (s).
Day fifteen: a photo of you and a family member.
Day sixteen: a photo from your childhood.
Day seventeen: a photo from a trip you’ll never forget.
Day eighteen: a photo of your town.
Day nineteen: a photo of your favorite thing from school.

Day twenty-nine: a photo of your favorite person from history.
Day thirty: a photo you find beautiful

fan wear

So we are getting back a fair amount of our taxes this year due to our fabulous bundle of joy. While I will not disclose the exact amount, it did cause both Matt and I to go, kiss him and thank him. But who am I kidding, I will kiss that kid just because he smiles at me.

Anyways, I recently stumbled on an etsy shop, and it is AMAZING. I want EVERYTHING. Ok, so maybe I don't want everything. I want it in the sense that it is really freaking awesome, but I'm already trying to get rid of extra "stuff" we have and declutter our homes. Anyways here are a few of my favorite things from this shop (go there for more fabulousness), perhaps I could talk the hubby into just one small item, especially if it is for him.

Can't you just see Matt wearing this shirt? (HAHAHAHA)

Couldn't you see this hanging in my kitchen?

Or a scarf with my FAVORITE literary proposal on it? *swoon*

I :heart: pride and prejudice! This is some pretty cool stuff, I'm just saying. No, I do not know the owner of this etsy shop. No, I am not receiving anything for writing this. I'm just sharing some cool stuff I came across.

A new find

I love antiques. A day spent in antique shops makes me one happy girl. My boss brought this to the office, and offered it to the staff, I took it in a heart beat. I'm excited to find it a new home once we move. Perhaps my nightstand.
