50th Post and almost 50 follower's?!

I didn't realize it but my wordless post was my 50th!!! That is very exciting and I didn't even realize it?!

I was thinking that I would do a giveaway with my 50th post, but now I think I will do one with my 50th follower! So tell your friends, spread the word that I am fabulous and stuff. Use better, bigger words while describing my awesomeness, k?! 

Also I have been working on my other blog and trying to get my Esty back up and running... It has been a daily thought to do, as I have been asked to be apart of a blog round up featuring the things I make, but I need to get photo's done, and my Esty up(which is still not up) I am so excited but seriously need to get cracking already. 

All you Esty peep's out there, do you think Esty is worth it or should I just concentrate on brick and mortar shop's and craft fairs?

Go and check it out, see what I have done and tell me your thought's. I need input/ feedback PLEASE!!

New promotion pictures!

I have a dear friend that is very talented that offered to make something up for Little Yellow Basket to be used on label's and cards.

                                                                       Pretty cute!
I have also been asked to be apart of a product link up. So I have been working on some promo photo's to use. What do you think?!

Wordless Wednesday

I love Thursday!

Keely is doing my favorite blog carnival. Thursday 5! Post 5 things that make you smile and reflect about what has made you happy, thankful, excited, and just plain SMITTEN!

 Here we go.....

1) Stepping outside on my deck after a rain fall. It seriously smelled like fresh bee's wax. It smelled so amazing, so alive. Gosh this world is so beautiful.

2) Making a delish salad for lunch with my favorite dressing. A bit of Olive oil,  a squirt of Bragg's and a small spoonful of Tahini butter. Mix it up and mmm good.

I am try to eat as much "raw" food as possible to look good in my bikini this summer. I am trying to work out more too. I woke up this morning to feel my ab's sore, YES! I love that feeling....Feel the burn... 

3) A store in town after seeing me wear my feather earring's want's to sell them! I can't wait to crack open my craft stuff and make some feather beauties! 

4) I made some amazingly delicious vegan and gluten free chocolate chip cookies...They are all gone, they were that good.

5) My sweet little Esme coming inside with a pocket for of flower's for me.

And one more for being super exciting....
5b) I have made some new friends in town! They are mom's at the kid's new preschool. They are both very nice and pretty hip Mama's. One is even a dance teacher!!?? Fate that I met her as I am missing dancing so much...
Hope you all have a gleeful day!

Decorating and lilac bloom's.

I love our new property. How lush and green it is getting with this warm weather. Flowers are blooming all over the place and I have been cutting my favorite lilac's and putting them all over the house. They make the place smell so nice and it put's a smile on my face with all this beauty all over the home.

The apple tree's have been in full bloom and I couldn't  help but laugh and Roman and Esme outside try to hit the branches to create a petal snow fall.... It was really cute.
Hubby is out of town AGAIN all this week, so what does a bored wife do you ask?! Decorate!
I unpacked all the decor for the master bedroom and bathroom's. Set up my make-up vanity, put everything in it's place except for my clothes, which are still in laundry basket's from when I first moved in. I know....pretty pathetic... I have no excuse... I do put away my kid's clothes! Promise!

The main bathroom, with my vintage beauties. A pie safe as my towel storage and another as my bathroom storage!

 Pretty little beach theme I got going on in the master bath!

                                   Master bedroom fireplace!

Sorry for the picture overload, but I am pretty proud that I did this in a day WITH the kidlet's under foot. (They were fed and tended to their every need's with the utmost love...I swear)
And... You all know I have a Paris, France obsession so it really is not a shock, right?! Well I like it and I sleep here!
It is all coming along, slowly but surely. I may have it all unpacked and decorated by Christmas?!
Well then, I should just get out the Christmas decor and save myself the trouble!
I am always a thinker!

Good grief Charlie Brown...13 days?

It has been 13 days since I last blogged??!!!
Really?  I keep meaning to post something, I get inspiration through the day and I think "Oh... I should blog about this"....." ooo, this would make a great post".... But alas I keep getting sucked into the dreamily perfect slow pace of my simple life.

My sister and I went out to a girl's night out gala that the hair salon I go to was throwing. It was a lot of fun and we met some cool ladies!

 I made a pair of earring for the event to go with my outfit. I am very smitten with them!

On Tuesday my little baby boy Roman Gabriel turned 4! He is such a cool little guy. I feel soooo blessed to be his Mama!

For his birthday present we got him a new bike. He amaze's me how good he is riding it. And fast.... Man am I ever in for a whole lotta bandaide's....

Well it was not so slow during this weekend. I had a huge surprise party for Roman's 4th birthday on Saturday and was cleaning the house like mad and PAINTING??!!! Yes, I "had" to paint the living room and both bathroom's before people got here.... Like the new blue is the living room?! I will take better pictures soon!

It was so good to see  my Victoria friends and family. They all stayed over the next morning and the hubby's made us Momma's a lovely breakfast of french toast!

My mother's day gift from Hubby was a RAD Electra bike!!!! I like to ride my bicycle!!!

 It was a really great weekend, but were we ever pooped by the end of it....

Roman and Esme finally started their first day at the new preschool on Monday. Esme was beyond excited! She was big enough to go with Roman and she was over the moon to finally be a big girl.

I am a day late for the lovely Kassi's "Two things i LOVE around my house". I love this blog link up, and she is feeling a little bummed that not so many are linking up.... So go show your love and support for her ladies!!!! She is such a rad blogger and I love seeing peek's into other people's homes!
Soooo here are my two things.

A strawberry shirt and more strawberries! I mean, seriously.... How can you not love this....
Or how about a strawberry shirt and a pink Tutu?!

I am loving the sweet little scene that I set up on the old movie cabinet. Something about the new blue wall's so crisp and clean with the blue and purple flower's and of course my little bit of Paris....

Well, I hope you are all having a good Wednesday so far. Wednesday always makes me laugh, hump day, especially when I need to type it. So not to forget that funny D... I sound it out  in my head like I did as a little girl... Wed nezzz day.... I know, I am funny!
