Sunday Coffee Sippin'

Happy Sunday everyone.  So far it's been a great weekend.  We changed the little misters room into a tween room.  Gone is the sweet loft bed and the primary buckets of toys and in came the queen bed up against the corner and the cool orange west elm martini side table.  His room is still a work in progress, but we are definitely on the road to change.  Thank goodness he still wants his huge tiger that the mister got him when he wasn't quite a year old.  I think when that goes away - it's going to be a sad day because we're going to have to come to the realization that our little boy isn't quite so little anymore.  

Today I'm going to be taking Zumba with a friend and though it will be a great workout, it's also going to be filled with a ton of laughter.  I just don't have those latin moves.  We have a big event tomorrow, so I'll be finishing up some last minute details before I head to the city tonight.

On to Sunday Coffee Sippin'...

I have a new favorite travel magazine that I discovered from Camille Styles.  I can't stop looking at the images.

I always wanted to try and make a stop motion video and now there's an app for that and it seems pretty easy.

In the spirit of keeping it real:: When you read a blog, you envision what that bloggers life must be like.  They are so creative, they have lots of contributors...you think their life is perfect.  Did you know that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to be successful at a given task, or that sometimes, they stuggle too, or that sometimes you need a reminder that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing.

These stir sticks are so fun - I have to make them for my summer party.

I love travelling vicariously through Jordan of Oh, Happy Day.  She just went to Copenhagen and her shots are fab.

If I was having an oscar party, it would look like this.

My office in need of a little re-do.  I need to pick up this book for a little extra assistance, and there is always Pinterest.

New Blog Finds...Are you in my Google Reader?

I'm just loving Google Reader.  Thanks to Becca from Cake for introducing me to it.  It saves me so much time.  All I have to do is click type in the name of the blog in the box above Add a Subscription, hit enter and then it pops up.  I like subscribe and voila!

All my blogs that I'm liking at the moment are right there.  They are bold when there is a new post.  So easy!!

Here are some of my most recent finds.

{1} When I'm looking for baking inspiration - I head over to Bakers Royale.

{2} When I need some design inspiration - I swing by Jesi Haack Weddings Blog. (I know - kinda funny that I go to a wedding blog for design inspiration - but these weddings are like mini productions and you can incorporate so many of the elements into everyday and corporate events.

{3} If I need a reality check or second guessing myself - Jess always has something good to say over at Makeunder My Life (by the way - she makes a gorgeous iPad case).

{4} Bri from Design Love Fest makes me smile - because you never know what you're gonna get...from her funky style and hilarious expressions to her Blogshop videos (which I really want her to come back to the Bay Area...so Bri...if you happen to discover my blog...can you please come back).

{5} Mimi+Meg has great fashion and interior design inspiration.

Check them out - you might just want to stay a while.  Have you made any new discoveries that you've added to your google reader?  Would love to hear.

Make sure you look up "Hey Caryl" and click that subscribe button. :)

Happy Weekend!!
