mirror.

This project has been in the making for well over a year now and I finally finished it. It took about 10 seconds so I have no idea why I never got around to it. I bought the frame from Ikea about a year ago, had our neighbor cut the glass for it about 6 months ago, got Mike to spray paint it gold about 3 months ago, and finally put the turquoise coat on last week. I will finally be hanging it in Zoey's room today. I can check one more thing off my list and get busy on the next item. I hope to complete them before the year mark!

chairs.

One of my favorite past times is sitting on my Grandma Nellie's patio in Mexico, on her fabulous patio chairs, looking out over the valley and watching the lightening storms on the horizon. I wish I were there right now!

(this is me 3 years ago, pre pregnancies and 30lbs lighter enjoying the patio)

It is even better when the sound of music is coming from the town park. I can't wait to have a back yard, or even better, a front porch to put some of these chairs.

collecting.

I am not typically big on collecting things because it just means more nick knacks to clutter up my living space, but I can make an exception for Lori Mitchell. I LOVE her stuff! I came across these 4 guys a few years ago in Gardner Village in Salt Lake.

I hope to eventually have ALL of her stuff for all occasions. This year I got this guy

and these guys for Zoey and Felix's christmas ornaments. I love her christmas ornaments.

I love her little circus collection too. This is one of my favorites.

a few of my favorite things.

1. Spa pedicures-

Mike gave me a gift card to the Burke Williams spa

for a pregnancy massage on Mothers day and I never got around to using it until last week. I decided to use it for a pedicure instead and it was AWESOME! I love getting pedicures, but this was great. The spa was quite and super relaxing complete with no talking, a warm blanket and neck pillow. And they even use paraffin wax with the standard pedicure. It was so nice to have a relaxing morning. Then I came home and painted Zoey's toes for Halloween.

2. This brownie pan-

It works just like it says it does and it makes my box brownies look professional. Love it.

3. Rainy days

Who doesn't love a chilly rainy day which allows for a blanket, hot cup of chocolate, popcorn and a good movie?

october.

Project complete and surprisingly simple.

Love hanging out with these two. Felix is already a showoff and rolling over. I guess being in the 95th percentile has to put you ahead of the game in at least one area.

and who knew the dollar store could be so much fun!
