I realized these are not very colorful today and that I should've called these posts words of wisdom Wednesday...oh well...

 

tomorrow I'm attending a birthday party for a friend who I've known for over a decade. we started out as young, awkward teens chasing boys and now we're both married to the men of our dreams who happen to share the same name.

 

 that last picture is actually exactly how I feel about my husband.

 

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

blue will do.

 

bright but reminds me of gloomy weather (ahem today) all at the same time. in sweater form blue is ready for rain, in earring form it's ready for a night by the ocean, dancing to salsa music, in chambray it's ready for work-behind a computer or on a farm. oh, versatile blue. we love you.

words of wisdom friday!

 

 

Friday is here! no body on earth needs to be reminded of that, they already know.

 

my weekend will be spent preparing for my darling husbands birthday, an anniversary celebration and deep cleaning-my usual Saturday morning routine. I could never say I liked cleaning before but since becoming a mom I have learned to love it solely because I want to be a role model for my daughter in positive ways in all areas of my life. be it how I spend my day, interact with other people and the environment. she's currently taking items out of the recycling bin so I have my work cut out :) gotta go tend the mess! 

happy may first!

 

and in honor of us being *this* close to summer, here are some shorts paired with dressed up shirts.

and all I can really say when it comes to shorts is...keep it classy ya'll!
