Archives For may

Here are some of my favorite things for May!

1. I have some pops of blue throughout my apartment, and have had my eye on this print to add to them.

2. I have been obsessed with this Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Peony scent for spring. I don’t like super flowery scents, but this one works and has a sweetness and freshness to it. And it’s cruelty free!

3. I would more than welcome this gnome into my home!

4. I am very picky when choosing a planner.  I need a good monthly calendar layout, enough to do list space in the weekly calendar, and it has to be cute!  This ban.do agenda has it all! Also, please do yourself a favor and start following ban.do’s Founder and Creative Director, Jen Gotch, on Instagram @jengotch. You’re welcome.

5. While you’re over there following Jen, start following @girlwithnojob.  P.S. I ❤ Zac Efron.

6. I’ve been wanting a vintage globe. One with the perfect shade of teal blue (another pop of blue!), but this chalkboard globe is pretty awesome.  It would look great on a bookshelf, in an office, in a kid’s room, or in a classroom.  Could be a great end of the year teacher gift too!

7. Each month, a group of my friends and I have a “wine club” night. We always at least have cheese and crackers, so I would like to get this cheese board by the next time I host.  I actually got this for my boyfriend’s parents for Christmas so I have seen it in action, and it is great quality and so sleek.

Hope you are having a great start to your weekend!

My birthday is coming up next Wednesday!  I feel so blessed and that I don’t need any gifts… but it’s just natural to have a couple fun things in the back of your mind that you would want to splurge on 😉

1. I could watch HGTV all day! I’ve bought the past couple month’s HGTV magazines and would love to have a subscription for monthly inspiration.

2. I’ve had my eye on this bracelet for a while.  One of my favorite bloggers, Katey McFarlan of Chronicles Of Frivolity, has this bracelet with Phil 4:6 engraved on it, and I would love to have that on my wrist as a daily reminder.

3. Save all the dogs! Need I say more?! and the net proceeds of this tee are given to a different rescue or shelter each month!

4. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that my sweet boyfriend got me some new cacti and an aloe plant for my apartment.  I’m planning on getting these gold pots for the 3 cacti.

5. This bracelet is a great deal!

6. This print, inspired by Parks and Rec, would look perfect in my kitchen.

7. Long live snail mail! This tray would be fitting for an entry way table or an office.

What is on the wish list in the back of your mind?

I wanted to take today to share an awesome mama run business that I love!  My cousin, Colleen K, has a great friend (our honorary cousin), Colleen B.  Colleen B and her friend, Colleen S, started the sweetest business called Mama Said Tees!

Mama Said Tees’ goal is to bring positive messages to the world through fashionable tees for adults and kids and, let me tell you, they are so cute!  My favorite, by far, is their “Kind Is The New Cool” tee. You can follow Mama Said Tees on Instagram, and they have freaking adorable pictures.  Many of these pictures are products being modeled by their own kiddos!

Colleen B’s son, Aden 🙂
