have you seen this blog?

this one right here?

i just checked it out for the first time tonight.

how CUTE are they??

i have a crush.

p.s. this is their other blog. i want to live in their house.

baby cakes

it looks like cupcakes can travel.

look what i received in the mail yesterday from emie at oh me, oh my wedding!

these are emie's adorable little baby cakes. they're a little different from a cupcake and quite tasty.

aren't they adorable?

she has a shop in the works right now, but if you'd like your own batch of baby cakes you can contact her on her blog for now!

catching up

i have been tagged and awarded recently by a few lovely bloggers. it has taken me a really long time to get on this, and i apologize. so this post is dedicated to catching up!

warning: it's going to be a long one! i won't be offended if you skip ahead, skip around, or skip it altogether. :)

first tag:

kathleen from just a small town girl tagged me in this one. i love kathleen. she's such a beautiful, joyful person. if we met in the real world, i know we'd be friends.

Rules to follow... if you're the kind who follows rules (i am not): Respond and rework. Answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, add one more question of your own. Tag five other un-tagged people.

what is your current obsession?
these are more like ongoing obsessions: macarons (see post below), blogs and blogging, and dreaming about the day i can start buying clothes again (soon!!!)

what are you wearing now? 

my cleaning clothes (i'm cleaning today....sort of) - dark grey super soft comfy loose empire waisted tank and black cropped workout pants

do you nap a lot?

almost never. i usually feel nauseous and disoriented when i wake up from naps. i do, however, sleep A LOT during the night. i need 9 hours of sleep a night to be fully functioning. 

what would you like to learn to do? 

everything. i'm a school junkie, and i want to be an expert at everything. i'm starting a new major in the fall - Art History. i am suuuuper excited about it. i also want to go to cooking school and learn how to make gorgeous, delicious pastries and gourmet meals. i want to learn to play piano and sing better. i want to continue to study ballet and other forms of dance. i want to take photography classes to learn how to take better pictures. i  think i'll stop now, or i'll just go on forever. 

what’s for dinner? 

blah. we are reallllly poor this week (low tips for levi and high bills all due at the same time) so tonight we're either having spaghetti or frozen dinners. :/ 

what was the last thing you bought? 

that would have to be gas. wow. my responses are intriguing! 

what is your favorite weather? 

it depends on my mood. i love rainy days, but i also really enjoy perfect summer days. nothing over 80 though. too hot!

what is on your bedside table?  

wooden dancer from my  mom, little flower dish to hold my jewels, dried flower from the bouquet levi bought me when i passed my state board esthetician licensing exam

what is your most challenging goal right now? 

learning to be patient about reaching all my goals

do you have a blog you read daily even when there are no updates? 

not when there aren't updates, but you can see some of the blogs i read regularly in my blog list to the right!

what would you like to have in your hands right now? 

a key to an apartment that levi and i would love

what would you like to get rid of? 

my self doubt and insecurity

what language(s) do you want to be able to speak? 

French! fortunately for me, my new major requires that i study French for two years. i start in september!

what's one thing you're looking forward to? 

the row boat date levi and i have planned

if you were to pick up a pen right now, what would be the first thing you'd write? 

that.

who was your childhood crush?  

elvis! i cried when i found out that he was dead already, and i couldn't marry him.

what do you want to be... when you grow up?

honestly, i just want to be a good wife and mother. and happy.

my tagging is going to be a random selection of followers on this one, and i'm only choosing 3 instead of 5:

1. Miss Eve

2. Justin

3. Gabby

next on the list: mara from in so many words presented me with the Honest Scrap award for being...well, honest! as a recipient of this prestigious award, i am supposed to tell you 10 honest things about myself. well, here goes:

1. i always want to lose 10 pounds. no matter what.

2. i got into a car accident a year and a half ago that turned me into a really overly cautious driver.

3. i have bad dreams almost every night.

4. i hog the covers.

5. i have a tendency to dress like a cartoon character...as in, i find myself wearing the same thing over and over and over again.

6. i'm not super into shoes. i like them, but i don't love them.

7. i think i'm addicted to sugar.

8. i turn into another (really cranky, kinda mean) person if i don't eat every 4 hours.

9. i love levi more than anything on the planet (like you didn't already know that!).

10. i can be kinda shy sometimes.

i am passing on the honest scrap award to these three lovely (and very honest) bloggers:

1. Maddie

2. Adeline

3. Tiffany

and that concludes this very long post! if you read all the way through, thanks for hanging in there! if not, i tooootally understand. :)

good morning!

it's beautiful here in long beach this morning. the sun is shining. birds are singing their little hearts out. and levi's about to make me some breakfast. :) while we eat our breakfast, go check out this super sweet post that Naomi featured me in on her amazing blog, the rockstar diaries, this morning. 

here's to a beautiful wednesday full of little happy things!

it's the fabric of our lives!

I saw this on A "Cheery" Disposition and just had to use it because I absolutely adore Zooey Deschanel. She is so cute in this, and I would love to wear each and every one of these outfits. I reallly wanna go shopping now. Good thing I most likely have a new job! Enjoy!
