happy things to end the week with.

when we were little, my pappa would buy those pink coconut twinkies and give them to us because we were his twinkies.

♥ today is my Pappa's birthday!!! and also our stella bear turns 1 today! here's her smiling at the camera this morning while i was having my cup of coffee (as you can kind of see, i slept in my lucky MAVS shirt!) loves of my life. i wish i was home to enjoy the birthday dinner my momma is putting together for the family tonight. read more at twinkie's blog to see how wonderfully blessed we are to have an amazing father.

i also wish i could have a dog birthday party for stella and invite you all over with your pups. how fun would that be? i'd get gourmet dog cookies and we'd have it at a dog park so they could all run around together. 

♥ how beautiful is this print?! my favorite kind of artwork and it's titled "sisters." i was terribly lucky to win this Hue & Hum print giveaway that the ever sweet Rhianne was hosting. Thank-you love! it's perfect.

♥ remember how excited i was when i purchased these two toned tumbleweed sunnies for my upcoming trip to SF? i lurve them!!! they came in and beca was right-- doug did make them extra special for me. You need to treat yourself and grab a pair! you'll be seeing these again for sure when i get back from my girl's trip and show you photos. 

speaking of beca... you MUST check out this fun post on her blog today. my husband will be proud with his 15 minutes of blog fame that WASN'T on this blog - ha! really, i loved being in a post with other girls we adore but seeing our guys in their shop's creations... awesome!

♥ i'm a girl who lives in heels but standing the whole time i'm at work is no bueno in 4 inch stilettos. i decided to suck it up and go get some flats that were comfortable & because we can actually wear trainers to work, i wanted something that was girly still and would go with dresses. i LOVE these airwalks like you wouldn't believe (actually my feet love them more). i wore them with the floral dress claire gave me for my birthday.

♥ marina, my niece and her smile. she steals my heart and always makes me happy!

also lovies! Monday i'm hosting a giveaway that i'm pretty excited about. Don't forget to come back and check it out... xo
