A bunch of shit for the good housekeeper in all of us.



As you may know we moved to our new town in September. A few months later we packed it all up and hauled our things across town to a bigger more bad ass apartment. It's there we plan to stay for the next couple of years. I'm so excited to have our own space to decorate, create and love in. So, I thought I'd share some of the things I've got my eye on. My wish list of sorts. A not completely selfish project in which I'll get to post and save the links to the items of my apartmental dreams, and share them with you as well. As my taste in things is nothing short of exquisite I'm sure you're just as excited. Right?!


While this apartment is much larger than the last some areas are still limited in space. So, when I saw this I knew it had to be the first thing on my list. Wilton's three tier cooling rack is the perfect addition for the kitchen with little counter space. Oh! And get this...if you purchase more of them you can stack them as high as you want.
Cookies to the ceiling!


At five foot nothin' the rest of you are always towering over me. My mood-boosting, calf-toning secret is a pair of simple black heels. They go with everything in my closet and leave me limping around barefoot by the end of the night. I wish someone would have told me about these sooner. Fit in Clouds foldable flats come in a tiny pouch you can tuck in your purse. These little darlings to the rescue when your heels turn on you. There are plenty of brands offering these now in all sorts of colors and styles. Just search away. Smart stuff, huh?





This is an awesome freebie. Up to a $5.99 value. Limited to only 10,000 a day. So, if you don't qualify today just try again tomorrow. It took me a while to get through myself.

The snoozeberries taste like snoozeberries.

Maybe it's like Vitamin Water for insomniacs...

Sitting still.



I often find myself comparing myself to others.
As much as I try it's not an easy habit to break.
From body parts and clothes to wallet sizes.
Constantly stacking myself up next to them.
I have the flip-flopping self esteem of a female.
Especially when asked the old stand-by,
"So, what are you doing with yourself?".
I can't remember how many times I've found myself fumbling for something legitimate sounding.
Some excuse as to why I haven't returned to school.
"Haven't thought much more of working towards your degree?
The thing is I have.
I've thought about it plenty, and it is something I would like to do.
Eventually.
While it may seem to you as a lack of motivation or procrastination on my part...
I am doing things.
Currently.
Small things maybe, but they're just as important as the rest.
Why should I feel guilty about sleeping?
Why is it that I feel the need to justify exploring my creatvity?
Or sitting still?
Or reading books?
I now see the importance behind everything I do.
Learning how to live with someone again is excting.
It's brand new...again.
Hopefully permanent.
I put myself wholly into everything try.
I am aware this isn't, by any means, an original thought.
I've been witness to people recognizing these things many times.
How often though do we stick with it?
Keep within the mindset healthiest for us?
See the value in all we do?
I'm beginning to see that it's rare.
My wish is to continue to not take what I have for granted.
To each day wake up and appreciate everything.
Because it is beautiful.
And I am so thankful for all of it.
