Sweet Days Ahead

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

It's a sweet little Valentine's day here in the woods....

My lovely little valentine has opened her treats early because she will be at school tomorrow. 

Let's just say she was delighted. :)

Valentine's day calls for honey-sweet braided buns. :)

                                                            and floral rainboots.....

and sweet spotty freckles to boot!

She is my most favorite valentine ever!!

With her around, there surely are sweet days ahead...

Yule logs and ukuleles

Christmas was amazing.
I was literally catered to after working an 18 hour shift the night before. Got to see my family, got overloaded with amazing gifts, and got to see my little love open her presents. This year was fun.
So magical.
We spent the following few days relaxing, loving and playing with all our new toys.
What's better than that?
I hope your Christmases were merry!

Give a little bit of your love to me...

This is love....This right here.

Happy Valentines Day to you and all of your loves from me and mine!

XOXO

Christmas is coming.....and we are a'lovin'.

There's no place like home....

i cannot believe that i missed all of november without blogging. it has been a crazy month with me hardly even going on my computer at all. Been hanging with my little, working on puppy training, working, and loving. oh, there's lovin' going on here.... thus, i am behind. as usual. so here is the lil miss on halloween. we worked up halloween like nobody's business. we read stories, visited pumpkin patches, went on hayrides, ate apple and pumpkin EVERYTHING, sang songs....i even decorated. halloween was big. she knew she wanted to be dorothy for 2 months. i ordered this sweet homemade costume on etsy.com. she loved it. paired with some consignment ruby reds, and Nooney contributed a little basket and a teeny toto...and voila! dorothy! we had a freak snowstorm the day before halloween, resulting in no power for over a week. the town cancelled halloween. not postponed....cancelled. so, you're damn straight i dressed up my girl and brought her to her grandparents during the light of day for some trick-or-treating. and you're damn straight i brought her to target dressed like that just so she could get the attention she was so excited for. cutest. thing. ever. next year will be bigger. snowstorm shnowstorm. i can't wait!

Doin' it right....

This year, a flame has been ignited. Because Avonlea is finally old enough to understand this amazing time of year....and she is just as excited as we are for this change of seasons.
Don't get me wrong...summer was magnificent...but Autumn is my favorite. There is something about Fall that just reminds me of new beginnings, despite the fact that the greens are fading to brown. I remember how excited for school we would get, especially my best friend and me. To this day, I still do "back-to-school-shopping" and believe it's permanently engrained into my soul.
Avonlea has been ridiculously excited for Halloween this year, and it has brought back all of those childhood feelings for me. So the house is decorated to the nines, we talk about the changing of the seasons every day, monitor the falling leaves, and squeal when we talk about Halloween.
We are relishing cozy sweaters, warm new blankets, and roasted squash and pumpkins....
We are doin' it right....






ps. yay for collage apps!!!! :)

happy fall!

well helloooooo there!

Happy Autumn!
I am enjoying the start of my favorite season with a new darker hair color, some pumpkin spice lattes, and snuggling up on the loves in my life. I can't wait for dryer weather, apple picking, punkin pie, and halloween festivities.

Halloween was never my favorite holiday, but for some reason, I am super excited for this halloween....the girl woke up one morning this week saying "mommy! i be DOROTHY for halloWEENS?"
How could I not oblige that perfect request? So with Etsy making her halloween costume, and some consignment store ruby reds, my girl is gonna be the cutest darn dorothy that you ever did see!

How is your autumn looking?
