while browsing around the mall this weekend i found all kinds of cute things.
these aren't necessarily things i want but just cute stuff.
this purse in red OR the green
everything at The Gap Kids
report cards for life
hard shell case for my Macbook….it looks like polka dots.
cute dress for annie at Old Navy
Hanging Photo Clip Mobile by Moma Design Store
we actually have these Sound Machines...they are annoying but my kids LOVE them.
i saw this at francesca's but their website doesn't have it… i found it on amazon though.
i thought spray painting it hot pink or yellow….or turquoise….CUTE!
and then this is an outfit that i would want to wear all day everyday.
a little much?
yes.
it's a lot of pink.
but how much gray can one person wear?
i say go big or go home.
pink leisure suit for me thankyouverymuch.
………………………………………
i am home again from my getaway with the mister.
ahhhhh.
it is so nice to just be off the clock for awhile.
together.
Soooooooo NICE!
my friend hooked me up with a college girl that has watched her kids to watch my kids.
it was perfect.
i encourage you GREATLY to think outside the box when looking for a way to get away.
ask everybody in your church…. ask your friends…. ask your neighbors…. ask your co workers
"Who watches your kids? Do you know anyone that would be good to stay with my kids"
and you will find someone.
when i was a young lady of the college age….i would have LOVED to be asked to watch kids for an entire weekend. it would have ranked higher than a party or a date or anything.
so i know they are out there waiting for you to call.
GO FOR IT.
you need it.
HE needs it.
it is too much fun!!
ps….we went to see Tower Heist and i really and truly DID like it.
we had super low expectations and we really were surprised.
it was a good movie!
not perfect…. but not bad….some language but it is PG 13.
i am saying it's for grown ups.
and i liked it.
🙂

Su@TheIntentionalHome - you gotta check out the birdcage at DaySpring. It is slightly larger (a plus in my opinion). . .it has a scripture on it (This is the day the Lord has made) and the words (be still, share joy, hope always) and the best part. .in November it is only $16.99!! (normally it is $36.99)
Here is a link:

avchd dvd player - I love that berdkagi. I am thinking of buying for myself, and used as a place of jewelry. I’m going to draw just like you.
Jen - I’ve been thinking we need to get away “just us” more often, thanks for the inspiration! And I may or may not have the exact pink outfit you posted…the sweater socks are way too comfy 🙂
shauna - you are cute.
i want to go shopping with you.
i saw a similar bird house deal at cost plus world market!

lc - I made a LOT of money in college watching peoples kids during their getaways. So much fun.
and I think I saw you out this weekend, but saying “hi, I read your blog” sounded super creepy. So I kept walking 🙂
Valerie @ Chateau A La Mode - I don’t think the all pink is too much. Looks just like what I’ve been wearing all weekend 🙂
Alicia @ La Famille - glad you were able to get away…we just moved to NC and know NObody so i feel like we’ll never go on a date again! let alone a weekend away 🙁 we’ll get there tho…and thanks for the nifty list of things i need now 🙂
Kate - I love any think made by knock knock. they have the best journals, notepads, grocery lists, ANYTHING. I just LOVE them.
Jenna@CallHerHappy - I received the wine sock monkey as a gift this year! We are using it to hold a very special bottle of wine that my brother bought us for our wedding. It has to age ten years before being drank, so we have to wait until our 10th anniversary. He is such a thoughtful bro!

tiffany gardner - I rocked a leisure outfit like that at walmart this weekend..but it was blue and some 20 something guy said….”seriously…this that a blue suede suit”…funny..I said…No! It is velour…thank you! And I am a mom…and even had one of my children with me. She said…boy mom…he must have liked your outfit. So glad she doesn’t know sarcasm yet! 🙂
D - I just ordered that dress for my 11 year old, don’t you just love it? I love the bird cage thing too but I don’t NEED it so I won’t be ordering it:(
Holly - sounds like you had a great weekend! It is so important to spend time together without the kids around!
Jess - Wow. Slang Flashcards and Real Life Report Cards are TOO cute.
Cindy - Okay, so the slang flash cards are a riot. We ordered some as a “guy exchange gift” one year. They have great options on http://www.ucommongoods.com (best website ever, by the way) for other slang cards. They stole the show at the whole family get-together that Christmas. They’re hilarious!!!
CarrieBeth - i want that wine monkey!
and i’m glad you and your hubby had fun! y’all deserve it!
Rebekah - I love that birdcage. Am thinking about buying it for myself and using as a place for jewelry. And I’d totally paint it like you mentioned!
happygirl - I am not going to the mall this year. I love the cute things, but this year it is mostly homemade and service. Am I a fuddy duddy? I’m just trying something different this year. LOVE the wine monkey, though. 🙂
Meaghan - I am 25 and I still babysit! My favorite was babysitting 3 year old twins while their (single) mom was away for a week on a business trip. Super fun! There are websites that you can use to find reliable sitters and see what other parents have to say about them. Am I allowed to put in a plug? Sittercity(.com) and Care(.com) are the two I am registered on. I encourage parents to check it out because I agree, every couple needs some personal time!
brooke - girl…you get that pink leisure suite and ROCK IT!
Alycia - those slang flash cards are hilarious! can you imagine giving that to your grandparents hehe 🙂
sarah - I would have LOVED to do that in college! Lets be honest, I am 25 and would love to do that now! Too bad I’m in Tulsa and not Kansas!!
Seriously Sassy Mama - I so want a weekend with my mister.
