oh! hello there!

I may quite possibly be the worst blogger ever. Please do accept my apologies. I seem to be more absent than present.

I started my gig at Kohl's Corporate Photo Studio yesterday. Ahhh-mazing but stresssssssful as well {my main reason for ditching you}. I got to sit in on part of a shoot today and let me tell you, I was totally jazzed.

Check it

I can hardly believe this weekend is 4th of July! We're heading North with our families - can't wait to chill in my bathing suit & very little makeup, while catching up on a great read. Now, if only the weather will cooperate.

I'm off to make some home (cough, cough) made spaghetti for Mr. B. 

Whattup Wild Harvest Organic pre-made pasta sauce; sometimes that's as close to homemade as it gets. Hey, at least it's organic.

xo dolls.

oh my

I've neglected you, my little blogsters. The past 10 days have been caaahhh-razzzyyy & I don't even have photos to prove it. weird. 


Oh wait! I did hi-jack this little gem from Miss Sara:

{Sara came visiting this week. If you're ever in Delafield - check out Zin. Amazeballs.}

I start my new job at Kohl's Corporate on Monday & I'm super duper excited! 

Creative environment, awesome company & I'm in!

Watch for my work in the upcoming Kohl's Catalog - errr...maybe not quite yet.

Hope you're having a lovely evening, dolls!

I cross my heart I'll post more often.

xo.

mumblejumblemumblejumblemumblejumble

i've got nothing.

oh!

little seeeester was complaining to me that she doesn't exist on my bliggity-blog.

{& truth be told it's because she doesn't come around. she has a gypsy soul.}

HI MAGGIE!

i love you duds.

{& your crazy shananigans}

brown-eyed-girls

{get ready for some cuteness}

Adorable, right? 

These little darlings belong to my old babysitter.

She was always my favorite growing up & now I hope to be just like her when I'm a mama.

These dolls are the sweetest girls you will ever meet & you can tell how much they love each other,

they have a true sisterly-bond.

There are 3 girls in my family too, maybe that's part of the reason I adore them.

a weekend to remember

{husband's homecoming}

As we celebrate Memorial weekend, let's not forget those who gave us that liberty.

I'm so thankful my husband came home safely from Iraq. 

I pray for those who have lost their loved ones to war.

I can't even begin to imagine the heartache. 

Hug those who are near and dear to your heart this weekend.

find the glad in it.

1. delafield art walk.

2. dreaming of a studio here someday.

3. my new toms arrived. best. shoe. ever - hands down.

4. rooting for the brew crew with mr b.

5. celebrating the graduation of my lil' sis (why don't i have a photo with her?) 

6. beautiful iris outside our door, spotted while walking to the coffee shop with huz

life has been a whirlwind of...well, just life for lack of a better term

& i'm enjoying every single second of it.

yes, there are times when i'm not 100% happy, but like my mama says...

"find the glad in it."

there's always something to be thankful for.

so, in our house we;

"promise to be so strong that nothing can disturb our peace of mind. we look at the sunny side of everything & make optimism come true. we think only of the best, work only for the best, & expect only the best. we forget the mistakes of the past & press on to the greater achievements of the future. we give so much time to the improvement of ourselves that we have no time to criticize others. we live life in the faith that the whole world is on our side so long as we are true to the best that is in us."

{no, i don't make husband recite this every morning...but, now that i'm thinking about it...}

(jk sweetheart.)

so, if you find yourself down in the dumps, remember...

there's always something to be glad about
