I don't have a daughter, but if I do....

..I'm pretty sure she'll be something like this little girl- if she's anything like her momma.

Have I ever told you that I didn't like dogs growing up- something about my grandparents' dogs biting me when I was little. I've already started telling Luca that she can't munch on our unborn Frankel babies. No guarantees. 

On a completely random note, here's our 2011 Christmas card: 

We're a bit of a mess this year in our family photo, which I'm actually okay with because 2011 was a bit of a mess for us in general. That's life, I suppose! 

4th of July accessories

I'm a big fan of July 4th. Patriotism, fireworks, cookouts... did I mention I was supposed to be a fourth of July baby? I screwed it up, of course. I was two days late. Total fail. It would have been fun to be a boom baby. 

My pretty momma and me on vacation 

Anyhow, I've been search etsy for a fun 4th of July accessory this year. Here are some of my favorites:

I'm a bit confused it seems. Last night I ate unhealthy amounts of Mexican food, and tonight I was planning on finding an Indian restaurant...... oh well, blame it on the travel!!! 

I'll be back tomorrow with a "normal" post!!! :)

We don't exchange gifts on Valentine's day (I'd rather receive a random gift as a surprise anyways), but I wouldn't be opposed to one of these:

And if money weren't a consideration, then I'd also like one of these:

For blogging, of course! I'm sure all of you, dear readers, would love to see some snazzier photos!! Something tells me Cupid's going to let me down on the camera, but as long as I get my Indian food no one gets hurt!!!! :) 

What are your V-day plans???? 

XOXO,

Thanksgiving Tablescape

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I'll be heading to my grandma's tomorrow, so in case I don't post have a wonderful, safe holiday! I've never hosted a Thanksgiving, but I would LOVE to design a tablescape for someone who is. Here are a few of my favorites that I've had saved on my Mac for awhile:

Beautiful tables aside, I'm so thankful for my family and friends. This is the first holiday without my grandpa, and I miss him dearly. Thanksgiving (and Christmas especially) just won't be the same without him.

Have a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving!!!

XOXO,

Kelly
