Weekend Obsessions

This last weekend I've been enjoying some of my favorite items!

1. Black Lab--We've got a count down on the fridge to when we pick up our little puppy, Penny! I guess you could say we're a little excited and have puppy on the brain a lot these days.

2. Le Creuset Dutch Oven--I've broken this sucker out twice this weekend. I made Broccoli Cheddar soup at 9:00 pm on Saturday night. What can I say? I had a hankering! Then Sunday was gumbo day so that sucker got some serious use!

3. Essie Teeny Bikini--I love this happy color! I'm hoping this happy little blue will help inspire the world to warm up a little more.

4. Parenthood--Pyro Man hooked us up with Netflix so we could watch House of Cards (Awesome by the way). In any case, I discovered seasons 3 & 4 of Parenthood. I have been enjoying catching up with a show I really like.

5. Fiesta Gusto Bowl--Perfect sized bowl for soup and gumbo. Happiness is a bowl full of warm goodness. Wouldn't you agree?

What are some of your favorite items?

Little Happy Things

It's the little things that help keep us going during rough weeks or even put an extra pep in our step. I'm still having a pretty great week and not that it's been rough, it's just felt long. Like never ending long. I nearly jumped for joy when I realized it was already Wednesday. Time felt it was moving at a snail's pace and I was sure I'd never make it to end of the week and here I am, half way there!

I've been enjoying the little things around me that have kept me going the last couple of days:

Little Happy Things

1. I've been listening to Brett Dennen's album non stop for a happy pick me up!

2. This week I wore Essie's "A crewed Interest"--love the soft peach color. Not quite nude, but just enough to make me feel girly!

3. Lately I've been enjoying keep my hair in a pom-pom pony with my Goody elastic headbands. They keep the wisps out of my face and my hair in place!

4. I've rediscovered my NutriBullet! I loved using it all summer and fall, but with the winter blues, I'd hadn't been much into the cold smoothies...hello, Springtime though! Time for berries and greens!

5. I enjoy my Mary Engelbreit daily calendar. She always has precious pictures with a perfect quote for the day. I've enjoyed having her daily dose of cuteness on my desk for several years now!

Time to tackle to last part of my day--nearly to the end of the week and I think I can make it through with this week's must-have's!
