January 2, 2012 by · 8 Comments

i have a new friend. be jealous. she is TOTALLY awesome. everyone should have a friend just like her. her name is maegan, married to chuck, mommy to chester. so sweet, right? we met on twitter — then had our first date last night in laguna beach. yes, the real laguna beach. again, be jealous – it will make me feel special! :)

so she inspires me.  you can meet her by going to her totally rad blog:

MY 5 THINGS

 

#1: sweet, sweet Pinterest – oh how i love. i get so inspired by the amazing craftiness, designs, home decor, projects, colors, typography wall art… i am NOT addicted. i swear. :) i hop on when i’m looking for something {& then end up pinning 20 new ideas that have NOTHING to do with the real reason i am there}. follow my boards: http://pinterest.com/byaimee/
 

#2: pandora is lovely. i am obsessed with the JJ Heller station. the music is SOO good & pandora does an amazing job at selecting music similar to JJ. & she blogs. yep. it’s true. Visit Pandora & JJ Heller’s “lovely little things” blog!

#3: the Oceanside Pier. we currently live in Oceanside – stationed here with my husband’s job as a Marine. we visit the beach frequently. running. playing. flying kites. the kids love it. we love it. beautiful.

#4: my lovely Nikon DSLR {& i just purchased a new lens – EEK}. i can capture so many moments. quick moments of my children. close up shots & now family photos thanks to a recent Christmas gift of a tripod!

#5: WordPress.org. lovely, beautiful. perfect. i LOVE WORDPRESS. it’s a blogging platform that makes blogging fun & easy. it’s like blogger/blogpost, but we pay a very cheap monthly feel and self-host. check out more about WordPress.org by heading to their website.
so, this is my january 5 things — and i’m linking up over at Chesterrific.
stop by, visit a few other links & then add yours!


what are YOUR 5 things?

Stay awhile...

    5 things I’m loving…
    1. spending quality time with my little family.
    2. building relationships with relatives that have been absent for too long.
    3. my friends …they will never know how special they are to my family and me.
    4. crafting and the love that my oldest (5y) possesses for it too. enough to ask Santa for a sewing machine.
    5. the lovely weather that allows for lots of outside play while my family on the east coast are stuck inside from the cold.

    Oh, and I’m not jealous because I’m your friend too and I cherish our friendship.

    Oooo, great question! Let’s see:
    1. Having one more week of vacation (at home) before I go back to work.
    2. Gingerbread latte (no whip) from Starbucks.
    3. Date night with the hubs.
    4. Capital One Bowl Week (yes, love college fb!)
    5. my new calendar and all the possibilites unfolding in 2012.

    There’s much more, like my shelter mags, houzz, pinterest, etc where I’m gleaning oodles of inspiration, but I’ll stop at 5. :)

    1. Being an at home mom
    2. My new Nook Tablet if I can ever find time to read and stop playing the mindless games on it. :)
    3. Pinterest :) :)
    4. MY kids’ private, small class size school.
    5. Plans for upcoming vacations to always keep me excited.

    Speaking of the camera. We have a Nikon and have had a terrible time with it. Maybe I need to just splurge and buy a really nice one. :)
