Insta Friday

 

 Ah!
I can't believe it's Friday already.
I also can't believe that the last post I put up was last weeks Insta Friday.
Sorry!
I've been such a bum this past week, but my goal is to post this whole coming week!
Anyway, on to Insta Friday. Click the pretty button above to join the party. 

 

Our week started off with finding this treasure at, where else?, Goodwill! My Brother has a thing for globes and this bad boy stands around 3 ft tall and the globe illuminates! We got it for $50 but once I went home I looked this model up and it's worth around $5-600! Now the only trick is sending it from Colorado to Texas. 

 

This is either the world's largest bib or Remy is tiny. 
{haha}

I turned around to find this child pushing himself up on the bottom of the coffee table. 

You see that big empty space?

Yeah, there were magazines and books there until some baby hands threw them all off and tore half of them!

The Hubs cleaning off after working on his Jeep. 

Remy went from wearing this adorable outfit one day....

...to wearing this the next day! The temperature dropped almost 50 degrees in a day! Welcome Fall!

Both Remy & Stella kept their eyes on the Hubs' ice cream the entire time he was eating it.

And because it got cold here, I was able to whip out this fabulous vintage Lacoste sweater my Brother gave Remy. I love the stripes! 

So we had a prompt this week and it was to take a picture of something we loved.

So be forewarned to not be grossed out by the state of this item.

 Allow me to introduce you to my blanket.
{and no, surprisingly at 26 years old, I'm not ashamed to show you this}
I've had this since the day I was born and I've slept with it every day since. 

To say I love this blanket would be an understatement. 

I LOVE this blanket.

It used to bright yellow with satin trim but now it's mostly shreds and as the Hubs describes it, "some nasty brownish color"  My Mom bought me book when I was in high school about baby Kermit the Frog and his blanket and how he finally put it away for safe keeping because he didn't need it anymore. Well good for you Kermit! But, I just like it okay? I mean, I don't walk around with it {anymore} and I don't watch TV with it {anymore} and I certainly don't take it to the dinner table {anymore}

I'm a Wife and a Momma now....{it just stays under my pillow now} 
And that my friends, is true love.

Next week we're supposed to try and take a picture of something we hate. Should be interesting to see what people hate!  Have a good weekend y'all!

Grateful Sunday

Today I am grateful for:

• a house full of nappers, i.e. baby, Hubs, dog
• moments of insanity like when I just went to the restroom and cut a section of my hair to make bangs!
• the people who love me and who push my creativity to the max because they believe in me
• 50% off day at Goodwill

What are you grateful for this week?

Insta Friday

Another Friday means another look through the week according to my Iphone.

If you have the instagram app {or not} link up to the party over at Life Arranged.

 On Sunday, we had our first riding in the front of the cart and not the car seat experience at the store!

I'm going to let y'all in on a secret.....The biggest store here in town is....Goodwill! So, the Hubs and I make it there at least twice a week. I know, that seems redundant, but you never know what you'll find. Ask my garage, it's full of "projects" from the Goodwill just waiting to be finished. So, I didn't buy these cheese markers, but I did send a picture asap to my sister in law because a couple years back, for New Year's Eve, we had a cheese and wine tasting party. In our brilliance and due to lack of time, we simply wrote the name of the cheeses on little pieces of paper and put them next to the cheeses. But look at these beauties and for less than 2 dollars! {haha}

                                                                                      

We also picked these jars up because I liked the cork screw top and the Hubs for some reason wanted to buy a bag of marbles. So, yeah. We're real classy at the Goodwill.

This fabulous purse was found at another local thrift store for just 2 dollars. It's made of straw and it's kind of shaped like a briefcase and has a great buckle that I just loved.

 Of course I have to show you pictures with Remy! In the first picture I have a wonky eye, but the kid is laughing so big that I had to show y'all! The thing is, when I take pictures like this, I switch the camera to the front camera so you can see yourself. So Remy always gives good smiles because he's looking at himself!

 Doggie for sale: for FREE!

Okay, just kidding. But sometimes Stella really gets on my last nerve. Like when Remy's down for a nap and she decides that she thinks she hears someone at the door and she runs down the hallway barking like a mad woman thus waking up my child. Yeah, those times I definitely want to stick her outside with a for FREE! sign. {sigh} But I do love our little fox. She's just so darn cute.

P.S. Can you tell she looks a little sad? It's because of said incident described above and I then yelled at her and she looked at me like this afterwards. Oh boo on you dog, yes I still love you! Sheesh!

I made these cool book bursts on Thursday whilst the babe was napping. They're so simple, they don't even require glue or anything. Love them!

 I was pretty excited to throw this picture in. I finished my necklace last night at almost 2am. Whoops! I didn't mean to stay up that late, but I'm glad I got one done. Side note: Remy was laying in our bed when I finally got done and so I gently picked him up and put him in his crib, crawled into bed, and then jumped up out of bed because someone had peed all over my side. Boo on you baby! {he promptly then woke up because I'm sure once I moved him, he finally felt that his entire side was sopping wet}
