ten on 9-10-13

ten on ten... oh, how i've missed you... {while my computer was down, i couldn't link up...}

 

it's a fun little photo project that i saw over at a bit of sunshine... ... you take 10 photos throughout the day on the tenth of each month... it helps you to remember the little things... the moments that make up our days and our lives... i love the idea...

 

 

here's a glimpse of my day today...

john surprised the girls by making them chocolate chip muffins for breakfast this morning... a favorite around here...

 

as soon as this photo was taken my little one completely burst into tears... and it broke my heart... she was a bundle of nerves about one of the centers in her classroom... an activity with magnets and words... it was partially coming out in bits and pieces through her sobs... so i took her to school... her teacher was the sweetest... made it all better and i got a call about a half an hour into her day just to let me know she was ok... {no one prepares your heart for when your child is hurting... and that's tough...} hoping for a better day for her tomorrow...
 

this yellow chair... you know when you've been looking and looking for something and you're just not sure what you want... that's been my deal with a new chair for my office... until i saw this gem... i'm really hoping that it's still there when i head back... i love the color... and the chippiness... i think it's perfect...

 

spent way too much time perusing pinterest...

 {you can follow me... angie reese}

 spent some time finishing up an order that i have for a custom lamp shade...

 

packaged up a cd of photos that i took of my friend's kiddos... so happy with how they turned out and can't wait for her to see them...

 

added some cute washi to the packing envelope... {side note... how cute is the made with love tape... just found that at michaels...}

 

made some more progress on my hexies... so slow going... this project may very well deserve a post of it's own...

 

i made marina's bed today and set up her favorite things... didn't think much of their placement until marina asked me tonight if fuzzy was in time out?  haha...

 

lastly... we had a little homemade bread for a late night snack... yum!

 

have a happy day~

ten on ten... this is a fun little photo project that i saw here... you take 10 photos throughout the day on the tenth of each month... it helps you to remember the little things... the moments that make up our days and our lives... i love the idea...

7:00... marina was super excited to take this little gift to school this morning that we put together for her teacher... {happy teacher appreciation week to all of the teachers out there...}

she picked out the ribbon that she thought would look the best on the tag... and added the cute chipboard strawberry to tie it all together...

8:00... dropped off this gift to the head room mom...

this is the gift from the entire class for marina's teacher... {i love to wrap...}

11:00... went to this place for lunch... 
yum-o...

if you're local... you must give it a try...

gordy's...

this sandveech... as they're called there... is the purple cat... sweet ham... cream cheese, hot pepper jelly, red onions... and baby spinach... on a delicious roll... SO good...

12:00... i whipped open the marmalade charm pack that i purchased yesterday... look at all of these colors/patterns... 
love... love... love... 

i have a certain project in mind for them that i'll be sharing with you soon...

1:00... shopping for a birthday gift and picked up this little notebook... for myself... you can never have too many notebooks... check out that cute stitching...

thanks target for forcing me into another unnecessary purchase... {the folks at target are good at that... would you agree?}

3:00...  little miss arrived home from school...

and it was time for a little Q & A with her... i love number 3...

she had some other things tucked in her backpack and was bursting with excitement to give them to me... i said "don't ya want to wait until mother's day?"... she did not...

 she knows how much i love polka dots...

and this is what was wrapped up in those colorful polka dots above... aww... i can't tell you how much i love little hands... she picked green because it's my favorite color... i cried... she gave me a great big hug... so sweet... i never want to forget  these moments...

4:00... our azaleas are in full bloom over here... 

i'm thankful for some color on an otherwise kind of dreary, somewhat rainy day...

9:00... i love a good magazine... or 3... 

have a happy day~

ten on 4-10-13

it's time for ten on ten again... phew... these months are flying by... have you heard about the ten on ten photo project? {if not, you can check it out here...} i kind of love the idea... the whole gist of ten on ten is to capture 10 moments throughout your day... on the 10th of each month... it's to help with remembering the little moments that make up our everyday lives...

here we go...

i opened up some windows this morning to let some fresh air in... it's finally nice enough to do that... the girls were playing with maddie... once they left for school i noticed her in the window... with some yarn across her noodle... just sitting there... soaking up the sunshine...

i went to school... stopped at the park police office for a copy of the police report {from the stolen phone incident}... and headed to meet my friend... she had a phone for me to temporarily use...

don't be jealous... you know you love the flip :)  verizon hooked me back up... so this will be my phone until the 19th when i'm due to upgrade...

had a bowl of this yumminess for lunch...

creamy potato soup that i made for dinner last night... i'll be sharing this recipe soon...

thankful for this burst of color in our yard...

and i caught the first glimpse of peonies breaking through... so many leaves still need raked out of these beds...

even though it's been nice and warm today... this is the sky i'm looking at right now... doesn't look too friendly...

did some laundry... the towel load is always my favorite... easy to fold and put away...

 see those beach towels in there?... we did NOT just return from the beach or the swimming pool... they somehow always make it into the regular rotation no matter what shelf in the linen closet they're tucked away on...

got a little bit of work done...love these snippets of fabric that are being turned into some cute things...

little miss just got home from school... and that umbrella just got tossed... i'd say it's a little out of whack... wouldn't you?  haha...

and onto homework with both girls... with maizie missing 2 days this week... there's quite a bit...

have a happy day~

have you heard about the ten on ten photo project? {if not, you can check it out here...} i kind of love the idea... the whole gist of ten on ten is to capture 10 moments throughout your day... on the 10th of each month... it's to help with remembering the little moments that make up our everyday lives...

so here we go...

while the girls were at ccd this morning, john and i stopped at panera and had breakfast together... their asiago bagel is my fave...

last night my friend keri surprised me with an early birthday present... we've been friends since 6th grade and she definitely knows me... i had to snap a photo of it... check out this basket of stamping/gift tag making supplies she chose for me... {love it}... thanks, friend :)...

i am a stair stacker by nature and earlier in the week i went to tjmaxx... i purchased two wire baskets marked "1" {for maizie} and "2" {for marina}... all week, when something of theirs ended up downstairs that needed to go back up to their rooms, i put it into their baskets...

it's really helped to contain the clutter on the stairs and they like the idea of having their own baskets... win/win... {wish there was a "3" and "4"... john and i could have put them to good use, too}...

in between cleaning my office, i've been catching bits and pieces of one of my all time favorite movies... ferris bueller's day off... haha... i swear i watched this movie every weekend for years when i was younger... you know it's a good one when you can hear the lines in your head before they even say them :)...

this office of mine... phew... it's been out of hand... for way too long... i have plenty of storage in here... but somehow things end up in here that don't belong... i have quite a mess on my hands... and in my organizing,  i've come to the realization that i'm slightly obsessed with cards/stationary items... i really should focus more on sending out these bits of cheer in the mail instead of stockpiling them... {think i'm gonna work on that!}...

this little table is getting painted by john as i type this... it's for our bedroom... the color is hazy stratus... a nice soft grey color... kind of hard to tell in this pic but can't wait to see it finished... 

i took piano lessons in 6th grade and quit... i hated to practice... oh how i wish i would have stuck with it... i love that maizie is enjoying the cello so much... her sweet teacher is helping her learn the beginning of secrets by one republic... she's pretty excited about that... {and so am i}...

tonight... marina was reading junie b. jones has a peep in her pocket to me... such concentration on her little face sounding out those words...

i worked on my "here" and "gone" tags today for my jars...

and i'm happy to report that i am down 2 lbs. this week... not too stellar but i'll take it... i just have to keep the momentum going into next week... 

now i'm off to analyze a piece of artwork for my art class... it's due tomorrow... and as usual... there's no minute like the last minute around here...

have a happy day~
