coupon love

...for holiday coupons of all kinds and amounts.  40% off the craft item of my choice?  25% off a cute but overpriced coach handbag?  free underwear at victoria's secret?  yes, please.  now if wedding vendors would just hop on board this discount love train, i'd be an even happier girl. 

thanks and giving

...for two thanksgivings this year.  even though none of my immediate family came to tday #1, i'm thankful for aunts, uncles, cousins and wine.  and tday #2 was full of new family, wedding talk, more eating, and old photos full of fun hair and outfits.  the day after thanksgiving, i'm thankful for yoga, pjs, charlie brown holiday specials, and turkey leftovers.  i'm a lucky girl, indeed.     

passport to love

...for wedding related errands, especially those which bring me closer to the honeymoon and using my new soon to be last name.

a previous mugshot passport photo.  excited to travel, clearly.

wedding loveliness

...for my first wedding diy.  this relatively painless to-do makes me feel more optimistic about everything else in my wedding craftiness folder.  maybe i won't have to export those other projects to mom, after all. 

and jelly

yummy almonds + food processor = goodness

 

...to feed my innapropriate almond butter obsession by making my own.  homemade beats store bought any day, and homemade in my pajamas is the icing on the cake.  

it's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring

...for feeling so cozy inside on a cold, rainy day outside.  soft sweaters, steaming mugs of tea, and snuggly fiances make me a happy girl.

good morning, 7am

...that daylight savings time started this week.  the sun peeks out a little earlier, and i don't have to drive to work in the dark anymore.  i may feel like getting ready for bed at 5:30pm now, but that's another issue.

steal the bacon

...for multitaskers in the classroom.  innocent looking whiteboard eraser by morning, intense bacon to be stolen by rowdy middle schoolers after lunch.  also thankful for any silly p.e. game which encourages the use of a whistle.   

my superhero alter ego

...for friends who get it.

all the leaves are brown, and the sky is blue

...for a happy windsday.  i don't know if santa ana's were really what pooh and piglet were so worked up about, but i'll take my blustery day with a side of extra lipbalm.
