heirlooms.

my grandma left us a whole bunch of cute handkerchiefs like these and i'm loving this fun way to use them {from designmom}! maybe my mom will give me a few?? pretty please?

loves.

you don't want another earful {or eyeful, i guess} of rantings about how busy my life is, do you? i thought so. let's go with a happy list instead.

.flowers from my parents' yard.
.lovely weather, perfect for bundling up the baby and going for a walk.
.homemade chili and corn bread on a rainy day.
.a happy baby who rarely has a bad day.
.having a few minutes before bed to read... though i usually fall asleep in about 0.2 seconds :)
.mickey mouse clubhouse in the morning.
.having a completely organized and clean inventory room at work. hooooray!
.watching serena get so excited when her daddy walks in the door.
.this video {thanks alicia}.
.planning our awesome week at the cabin with my family.
.gleesongs.com {saw this on someone's blog. caprene? kirsten? i can't remember, but i LOVE it.}.
.listerine dissolving whitening strips. why did i not know about these until this week?
.october. it's the best.
.a wonderful conference weekend.
.knowing that all of you members of my ward are going to show up for choir practice at 12:15 in the chapel on sunday because you love me and you don't want our sad little choir to be embarrassed when we perform next sunday. seriously, i will get down on my knees and beg you if it will help.

have a wonderful wednesday!

little zoo.

how cute are these little animals? 49 cents each at ikea. just the right size for serena to grab and suck on {though she mostly just finds the tags on all of her toys and sucks on them...}. i also bought this, this, and this little play book that i am in love with. i ♥ ikea.

babies.

my baby girl is getting so big! we went and visited baby brecklyn and i couldn't get over how little she is! i swear serena was never that small. she can't have grown that much in 5 short months. craziness.

it was so fun to see baby B and her mommy & daddy. i love that little family.
