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.

Sunday Coffee Sippin'

Happy Long Weekend everyone!  I got to sleep in a little this morning and it felt grand.  So tonight is the season finale of Downton Abby - Just a little excited about this.  I really hope Lady Mary and Matthew finalize realize "at the same time" that they are meant for one another.  I'm planning on doing a little furniture shifting in our family room and this is the inspiration.

As i'm sippin' my Sunday Coffee...here is what's catching my eye.

Lovin' these easy to make confetti tags.

Illustrations = a touch of whimsy and a side of delight.

I love the idea of sharing what you're thankful for and doing it through photos.  

Remember to Be Open to whatever comes next.

A Colorful DIY mat that I think I'm gonna make.

I might like a lamp in the kitchen.

I just discovered this online magazine and the pictures are gorgeous.

Sunday Coffee Sippin'

 

Ever since I saw this picture of thick grilled toast, I've been craving it.  So yesterday, off to the store I went and got a sourdough loaf.  Can't wait to make it this morning.  The boys will have a scrumptious breakfast.  As I'm sippin' my Sunday coffee, I thought I might help you out with some Valentine's ideas - since it is right around the corner.  Are you doing anything special for Valentine's Day?
  
Over at the Hey Look blog, they have the sweetest Watercolor gifttags.
  
Get crafty with these DIY Cupid Arrow cards from Sweet Muffin Suite (they have oodles of eye candy, you might have to stay a while).
  
Wanna make a sweet Valentine's breakfast for your honey? Head over to Camille Styles' blog to see the yummy goodness.
  
Looking to make some sweet treats?  Well Cakewalk Baking did it again with her gum drops.  She and Cake. created a Pink + Gold + Glittery all over Valentine.

Sunday Coffee Sippin'

Happy Sunday everyone!  So if you follow me on facebook, you would have heard that I have new addiction - Downton Abbey.  The scenery, the acting, the script...one word sums it up FABULOUS.  I started Friday night with Season 1 and just couldn't stop watching it.  Now I'm completely up to date and there is a new episode tonight.  YAY!  I'm going to be heading out to Target this morning for the Jason Wu debut.  Hoping it's not like the Missoni debacle.  This morning while sippin' my Sunday coffee, these are the links that I really enjoyed.  Hope you do too.  Enjoy the Superbowl this afternoon!!

These bowls are so good together...perfect for some ice cream, fruit, you name it.

Looking for a new spin on eggs?  You might want to see this.

These notebooks would be such a nice gift to give to someone.  Something definitely from the heart.

Wouldn't it be so fun to have chalkboard walls in your kitchen?

A cupcake even a dude will love...

Looking for some last minute fixins'?

Wanna see what my most popular pin on Pinterest was this week? 

My favorite shoes when working events - so many colors, but the red ones would be perfect for Valentine's Day

Finally, this message really resinated with me.  Sometimes we steer off our path, but the important thing is to get back on it.

Sunday Coffee Sippin'

Hope everyone has had a great weekend.  It was quite around here which was a nice change of pace.  Next week it's gonna get busy busy again.  This morning...peaceful sipping coffee and catching up on my favorite sites.  Take a peak at what's striking my fancy.

These would be sweet Valentine's to give to the ones you love.

Gorgeous flowers that make me want to head to the flower market tomorrow.

These are the sweetest little vases that would make anyone smile.

My boopers is eleven (scary), but the message is still the same.  Something I struggle with - but is a focus this year.

I would like to go here.  Where would you like to visit?

Picnic anyone? My sandwiches would look like this...

Enjoy your Sunday!!
