friends & fam

i drool over most things from serena & lily.  obvs.

it happens to be their friends & family discount this weekend.

here's the edited version of the giant shopping cart in my head:

georgina headboard

pink pouf

hanging chair {just two of these}

seychelles chandelier

hayworth shelf

bungalow mirror

side table

in actuality i'm buying a shower curtain.  

worship.

CODE: SHARETHELOVE

20 % OFF SITEWIDE UNTIL 5/20

happy shopping!

yay for youtube

okay, so this is totes cheese . . .but it made me smile. . . 

there is so much shiz floating around on FB but if you see something posted multiple times and have a few minutes to spare, sometimes it's worth checking out.

here are two of my faves from this past week.

and this next one i particularly heart because i'm feeling uber emo about the office ending. {like i canNOT deal. . .at all}

 i worship jim.  turns out I'm MIL with the real jim, too {john krasinski}

here's why.

obligatory peony post

it's monday and i'm dragging a bit {obvs}. . . but the overwhelming scent of peonies wafting through my house is keeping me afloat.  i know, i know, everyone adores peonies.  but how could they not?  they are so beautiful, their smell is intoxicating, and for many of us they conjure up the sweetest of memories. 

CBC proposed to me with peonies . . . 

then this happened a year later. . .

and now they are omnipresent on mother's days, baptisms, dance recitals and all the other celebratory events we've been blessed with these past few springs.  

on friday, i bought out the entire whole foods inventory. . . and they have brought me such joy all weekend but they are fading fast. . .womp.

but i think that's what makes them all the sweeter . . . so i'm trying to enjoy all the fleeting moments
 . . . even on a monday.

frenchie friday: womp

this is for my dear sweet friend who is losing her best friend.  and for anyone else who might have had to deal with this.  i hope it helps just a teeny bit.

random rainy day thoughts

so i was a slightly amused and equally put off by my daughters' pre-school mother's day tribute.  here's a snippet of what they think mom's favorite thing to do is.

okay, so i truly never watch TV in front of them but they also said i was 67 {and 4} so i'm not putting too much stock in this, but then i realized on this rainy day that all i really want to do is buy things on my computer aka "shop online" and watch TV.  so perhaps they know me better than i thought. . .

i'll tell you one thing i don't want to do on this rainy day is put the girls in full hair & make-up for their recital dress rehearsal.  life as a dance mom, not as glamourous as it seems.

circling back to the TV thing, did anyone watch Nashville last night?

spoiler alert!

just came across this article and not sure how i'm feeling about it.   thoughts?

also, i'm obsessed with juliette's white jacket in last night's epi.  stalking it and think i found here on cusp but not sure. . . happens to be 30 percent off but not in my size.  DAMMIT.

looked adorbs on that little intoxicated nugget.

okay time to go channel my inner . . .

this.

happy thursday!
