It’s the simple things in life that truly make us happy. Lately, I have become fixated on what I want…a new pair of jeans, a new purse, new sunglasses, a new LCD for our bedroom….the list goes on and on. I have spent much of the day pondering these “wants”. Why do I need an expensive pair of jeans to make me happy? Do I really need a $300 pair of designer sunglasses to feel worthy? As I asked myself these questions, I was struck by my surroundings. A sweet and healthy baby girl, a wonderful husband, a porch full of flowers, and a family that is loving and kind. These are the things that really matter in life. Thank you God for all of Your blessings and for showing me that the $14 pair of Mossimo sunglasses from Target are just as chic as the $300 pair from Chanel….
MR and I spent much of the day making a tutu for her upcoming “Bulldogs, BBQ, and Tutu’s” birthday party.
This Georgia Bulldog will wear a similar black tutu for the party.
I’m praying that these flowers will make it to MR’s first birthday…
and Sadie’s praying that I run out of black tulle so she doens’t have to wear a tutu to the party.
I’m loving seeing pictures of the precious house. The colors are beautiful, and I LOVE your new china cabinet. Perfect for that spot. Look at you with a shag rug – looks like it would feel good to the feet. Window boxes are also perfect. Maybe those people will like y’all so much that they will let you buy that house for cheap. So, so cute!
What a cute post!
Oh, Carly, you have it decorated so pretty! It looks like the coziest home in America!
I love the b-day party theme. It is sure to be a HUGE hit! Can’t wait to see all the tutus that come through your door!
Glad you went with the Target sunglasses…more money to spend on MR later! And, I could NEVER buy an expensive pair of sunglasses because I always lose or break them.
I’m with JHW on the sunglasses…Mine came from Walgreens…
I love the birthday theme…how are you making that tutu? I didn’t know you could sew!
Hey Joy, no sewing involved…just lots of cutting and tying. All you need is an elastic wasteband and some tulle and you are set. However, it takes forever to make one of these so I would suggest sticking to the store bought….hard lesson learned on my part:)
