Saturdays are rad. Week eleven.

*a random collection of random radness.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Is your corned beef and cabbage cooking?
(We are having tacos.  Sorry ancestors.  Does guacamole count?)

This mischievous imaginary creature thing is crazytown.
(I'm blaming you elf on the shelf!!!)
I phoned in the leprechaun's shenanigans and colored their milk green.
STRESSES ME OUT with the food coloring.
Did it work on these little skeptics?
"That looks like mommy's writing..."
I tried.  I did.
I'd prefer an imaginary creature that comes in the night and puts away my laundry 
while he sends me off to  The Drybar.  
Not a guy that jacks up the house.  Thankyouverymuch.

How bad do you want to make this right now?
BAAAAAAAD.

Who got major wife points this week?
This girl.
Yep. 

I am beyond smitten with these whimsical prints from James Hance.

We had a special birthday this week.  I wish the house was filled with balloons every single day.
I fell in love with french press coffee, and I am falling in love with the new Pioneer Woman cookbook.  TONS of recipes in this one.  Tons.  The trouble is choosing what I will make first.  It is melting my brain.  I think a Pioneer Woman potluck is in order.  Right???

Did you notice I changed up the commenting form?
I am hoping that is makes it easier for me to answer questions and stop being so lame at being a part of the conversation.  
I have wanted to change it forever, but was totally scared that I would break the blog.  I'm so happy to report that is was crazy easy, and it even imported all of the old comments for me.  
In case you want to give it a try, I installed the Disqus system and it's free.  Boom.

There is one downside though, I really do miss seeing your pretty faces next to your kind comments, and the murdery grey silhouette dude staring at me is way less cute.
Do me a favor and set yourself up with a Gravatar?
It's easy, and your cute self will show up wherever you leave a Gravatar enabled comment.
So much better than the dude.  So much.


Lastly, I leave you with a song that has been on repeat in the background of my computer all week.
So good.

Saturdays are rad. Week 10.

*A random collection of random radness.

This kid.  I can't take it.
Unicorns that serve doughnuts off their horns????
It's so crazy.  Crazy good.  I can see Lucy writing something like it.


Repeat.  Repeat. Repeat.
Beth, your music recommendations never disappoint.

Kate has taken what I barely could do for a month, and is making an entire year challenge.  She's rad.  And real.

These are on the sewing to-do list for my drooly, chewing baby and my Ergo.
Kristin always has the greatest tutorials.
But she makes the cutest things too... so maybe I'll just buy them.
Ya.



Cats.  As fonts.  Cannot handle it.
See all of them here...  

Be still my mason jar loving heart.
Don't need it.
Don't have room on the counter for it.
Cookies don't stay around long enough to languish in a container.
But oh, how I WANT it.
Sigh...


Months and months of praying, practicing, writing, meeting, praying, practicing, writing, meeting, have come to this exciting new season for The O.C. Supertones and the mister.
Visit Kickstarter for all the deets.
Be a part of this craziness.
Stickers? Vinyl? Surf lessons? Pool party (at our house)?
Yep.
It's on.
Plus there is a free brand new single.
Get it.
Oh ya.
Supertones strike back.

Happy sunshiny Saturday to you.

Things that are rad.

Happy Saturday.
My favorite day of the week, perfect for sharing some things that are rad.  Random and rad in no particular order with no particular theme.  Just stuff I like.


I signed up for this class at Homegrown Hospitality.  I need to just make something.  Just to make it.  Something new and different and with an unfamiliar technique.  I can't wait!

The kids are LOVING watching Wild Kratts.  I'm pretty strict with tv, and the combination of animals and science, plus not making me crazy, means it passes my test.  I can't believe how much they learn each episode.

My girls have tangly curly hair with really wimpy scalps.  I bought them each a Knot Genie and there are less tears each morning (if there were no tears it would really be a genie).

Speaking of tears, I made two new meals last week and only one family member cried.  That is for sure a new record.  I highly recommend Crockpot BBQ Chicken (I shredded it and put it on rolls, then used the leftovers the next day for BBQ chicken pizza), and Taco Cornbread Casserole.

More with the tears... Did you see Footloose?
Kid you not, when they were cleaning up the cotton mill and hoisted up the mason jar chandelier I started crying.  Like tears burst out of my eyes.  To which Jason looked over in confusion and mockery and exclaimed "YOU ARE CRYING OVER MASON JARS????????"
Yes, darling.  I am crying over mason jars.  Because that, is the most beautiful chandelier that just happened to be hidden and covered in dirt and dust, in a cotton mill that I ever did see.

I'm reading Kisses From Katie and it is ruining me.  But in the best way.  She inspires me.  She amazes me.

Did you catch my little Jedi's hat last week?
Crystal from Little Bit Funky sent it his way.  It is so awesome.
As I write I am snacking on one of her Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Bars.  Hello!!!
I made them for Jason's tailgate today, but I sort of want to keep them all to myself.

Last weekend's boutique was amazing.  It was so fun seeing friends come out to help bring Evie home, as well as meet new ones (hi Summer and Crystal).  I have another one coming up around the corner.  Love to see you there.

Parks and Recreation.  Funniest show on television.  There.  I said it.

Hello happy.  Jeannett and I are working on something exciting.  Can't stinking wait for the launch on November 5th.

With that I am off to try my hand at making a baby Peter Pan costume.  Wish me luck!

Happy Saturday.
