Color Crush: Peach

If I have to pick a second favorite color to crush on this Summer besides mint, it has to be peach.

Peaches are my favorite Summer fruit. So in honor of their juicy goodness, here are my peach Etsy pics.

Paper Garland from Glitter and Grain. $12

Peach Druzy Ring from Liesl Pawlil. $135

Hand Embroidered Peach Wall Art from Merriweather Council. $25

Jupiter Lollipop- Peaches and Cream from The Groovy Baker. $10 for 7

Floral Collage Peach Wedding Invitation Suite from Miss Wyolene. $700

*Whenever I think back on my wedding I get so angry about how much money we spent on ugly things. My invitations would be one example....but that was before Pinterest and before I knew about Etsy :/

Artist Teddy elephant in Peach from zverrriki  $88.27

Peach Chevron iPhone case from Colors and Friends. $16.99

 

Peach Branch Garland from Fleur Lux. $45. How pretty would this be hanging above a little girl's crib, or just in her room. 

Hope you enjoyed my finds! I know I do :) No excuse me while I go purchase those suckers.......

Lately

The Budweiser Clydesdales were in town a couple days this week and my mother really wanted to take the kids to see them. 

They were HUMUNGO. And so pretty.

Lucy was loving it.

As we were about to leave, we saw my friend Amy and her boys, so we stayed to play with them and waited to watch the horses leave.

I don't know about you, but Ryder looks like he could pass as a Barry brother. They all three have the exact same hair. Its pretty awesome.

While we waited on them to leave Lucy snacked....

...and Ryder cheesed it up. Of course he doesn't look at the camera though. This kid always looks down and to the side when I take his picture.

The Clydesdales were at the amphitheater, so of course they had a band playing. Lucy decided it was a great time to bust out her new moves.

Yea....she doesn't have shoes on. She did come with shoes, BUT I felt bad because we were in a rush to get out there before the horses left so I crammed her feet in these shoes that honestly should have been stored away a month ago. I decided it would be fine for her to be barefoot for 20 min. She lived :) And on a productive note I rounded up all of her shoes that have been lingering in random rooms of the house and put them back were they belong and purged all the too little shoes from her closet. 

Yay, dinner has been eaten, baths have been taken and now its off to bed! Oh buddy, I was freaking exhausted.

We have some fun things planned for this weekend including a baby shower, birthday party, and maybe a trip to see the Blue Angels! As in a trip to the Northport Wal-Mart parking lot......we learned our lesson the first year people.

What do you have going on?

Happy Monday!-I want a Smore's Party.

Hey Hey Hey! Happy Monday! 

I hope everyone had an awesome weekend! My fam did!  

Friday we just kinda lazed around I think. Can't really remember, must not have been too terribly exciting! But Saturday I got to work with my friend Jenny styling a photo shoot. More to come on that AND how you can have your kids in our Apple Themed Shoot! Trust me, you will want to book a session!

Yesterday we met with our small group. Loved it. We are reading through Acts and talked last night about chapter 5 and our thoughts on community. Well, they talked....I listened. For some reason I get really shy when talking about the Bible. Im pretty outgoing, and can be serious, but I just have a hard time opening my mouth when it comes to that sort of thing. Maybe I will get better about it.

Oh, yea, I want to have a Smore's party. Since we will probably host a small group at our house at some point I thought at first I could make the small group a Smore's party. Maybe. Might be better for a different night. While our house sucks, our backyard is wonderful. Playhouse, slide, swing set, trampoline, the neighbors chickens popping over for a visit, ghetto fire pit made from cinder blocks.......what more could you ask for?!

I found this picture and decided I needed to have a party. A super awesome one with home-made marshmallows, lots of nutella, and maybe some Chai Tea Smores....

I think mid October will be a perfecto time to have this sort of gathering. We should probably have hot dogs to roast or mini pizzas too, so we dont all pass out from a sugar overload. 

 

Now I need to go do my chores, dream about being a professional photo stylist, and decide on what craft I am making for the Ladies Craft night at our church.

Oh, and lookout! I will have stuff in my Etsy shop by then end of October! Im excited :) Have a great day!

BYE! 

Lets get ready to PARTAY!

 My little love's first birthday party is tomorrow morning and I am so excited! Today is a busy, busy day of getting everything ready. I have been very proud of myself planning this party because I have actually not procrastinated! All I have to do today is worry about the food. OK, and I do need to pick up some last odds and ends :)

I was going to get Sam's to make the cupcakes (30 for $12.99!) but when I asked them if they would bake them in the cupcake wrappers I had already purchased from this adorable Etsy shop they said NO! So, I am off to make them myself. And by "make myself" I mean I will open up a box of Betty Crocker cake mix.

BUT! I do have to actually make the butter cream frosting myself. I have been researching on Pinterest for tips on awesome cupcakes, and have read that canned frosting is a no-no. I hope I dont screw this up. Im always so impatient. I hate waiting for cupcakes to cool. I always want to slam the icing on as soon as they come out of the oven.

Ok, off to bake!
