instafriday #10

instafriday sneaks up on me every week, doesn't it?


well, i finally put christmas away...

my husband came home and didn't even notice that the entry looked any different.
i took a photo so you can see the proof of the difference.

remember how i had a bunch of my instagrams printed?
well here's how i have them displayed, for now:

and this:

when we go to target, i almost always bribe her with a chocolate milk or apple juice + cake pop from starbucks. it's so unlike me, but so necessary for everyone's sanity!
for awhile they had the pink pops, but they didn't have any this day.
she was pleasantly surprised and told me:
"i usually like the pink kind, but chocolate is pretty good too"

i finished up these hoops for my lucky giveaway winner, jeannett

and a cute custom-color order for someone else. love the yellow + red together!
[you can buy my hoops here]

this day, we decided to go up on the bank and throw some dirt around.
immediately after she was done, she said
"mama, i'm all dirty! are you gonna clean me?!? get a wipe! clean me!"
she doesn't like being dirty :)

this night, reese suggested costco for dinner.
i'm always happy to oblige a costco run, and it only cost me $3.25 in quarters.
you seriously can not beat that for dinner for 2 [3 if you count baby tessa in my tummy]

and this was my dessert
i happen to be lactose intolerant
but i physically cannot eat chocolate chip cookies without a glass of milk.
now i have myself craving more cookies. and we already ate them all.

happy friday my friends! 
i'm looking forward to a 3-day weekend 
AND a maid coming on monday!?!

    oh the starbucks cake pops. how i love them! when i pair one with my grande white chocolate mocha, i have basically consumed an entire week's worth of calories....and it's too good to care ;)

    canNOT wait for my hoops! i have the perfect place in my playroom for them!

    where DID you get your instas printed? i'd love to do something similar...although i have no clue where i would put it...i have a really open floor plan which is nice, but leaves you with very little wall space for hanging...which is annyoing.

    thanks for linking up!

on being crunchy

i mentioned it last week , that you could call me "crunchy". not in every single area, but there are a lot of things i do [and don't do] that would classify me as such... although for the record, i hate that term . i'd call it "natural" instead. i usually don't talk about this facet of my life because i feel like it's kind of weird, and also i just like to do what i do and not pressure anyone else to do the same. if someone asks, i'm more than excited to talk about it but i rarely bring it up. i buy organic. if it's available organic, i'll buy it. however, i don't buy organic meat, even though i'd tell you that's one of the most important things. i just can't afford it right now. but, overall, if they sell it organic, i buy it organic. i read labels.  some of the things i avoid are: - high fructose corn syrup [mostly because it is made with GMO corn ] - MSG [confusing, because they can call it anything they want on ...
