Great gift idea for the men in your life

Now that our anniversary is over and gifts have been given, I can now share the awesome find I gave Husband!

Harry's offers some sweet shave kits that are stylish, great German quality and affordable!  Back in January I spent a small fortune (seriously, I could have bought myself a pair of shoes for what I paid), on refill blades for Husband's previous razor.  When I happened upon Harry's on Pinterest, I followed the link out of curiousity about their pricing.  Boy was I pleasantly surprised!

I gifted Husband Harry's Truman Set in navy.  Blue happens to be his favorite color :)  This comes with the navy shaft, 3 razor blades & shave cream (which smells lovely and works great!).

So if you're looking for an awesome gift for the men in your life, Harry's comes highly recommended!  And you know those over-priced razor refills??  No more!  Because Harry's refills are $2!  And any orders of $5+...FREE shipping!  I call that a win all around.

And the winner is....

We had 25 entries!  And I almost couldn't contain myself last night from picking the winner!  But I wanted to wait and let my little Bug help out :)

So without further adieu, the winner of a box-full of sunshine is....

Love you to pieces, Kat!  I'm so excited to get your box-full of goodies together this weekend!  We're headed to Trader Joe's on Saturday, where I'm sure to find something tasty to add in and send your way :) Just PM me your address, if you would, on Facebook.  You can expect your package some time next week!

Thanks to everyone for playing along.  That was so much fun!  Hope you each are having a super week!  

A Box-Full of Sunshine!

Where has the time gone?? Seriously!  Last week flew by so quickly and I didn't even realize it was already MID-APRIL!

This is a big month for us.  Husband and I are celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary.  6 YEARS!  Again!  Where has the time gone??

We have lived in 3 different states, traveled to 8 states and 2 countries (between the two of us), had 6 different jobs (between the two of us), lived in 2 apartments and 3 different homes, tried our hand at the puppy thing 3 times (we're horrible!) & added two beautiful babies to our family.  What a crazy, wonderful, emotional, growing, experience these last 6 years have been.  I can't wait to see what we're up to this time next year.  Love you so much, Babe!

So with happiness, gratitude, and love in the air, I thought I'd pass on a little bit of sunshine to you!  To 'enter' my very first GIVE-AWAY:

Nap Time = Craft Time

We recently moved our home office from an upstairs bedroom to a bedroom in the basement.  The previous owners finished the basement with one room down there that functioned as their office.  It's really a great space; huge window, french doors, iPod dock for surround sound.

With the switch, the guest room had to move upstairs.  And I decided to keep my office space upstairs, turning the guest bedroom closet in to my little office nook!  It's only been a work in progress for a week now.  And three of those days, husband has been out of town.  I'll post a full reveal when it's all complete.  I still have to hang curtains and move a few pieces of furniture around.

But I finished a couple of projects today for the guest room/office and had to share a quick sneak peek!  Mr. T has been a good napper today so Momma had time to get her craft on ;)

Take a $7 Ikea frame (20x20), Dollar Store craft paper, a stencil and a Sharpie...

...and some patience... (it took me a while to fill in all the letters after I traced them.  I used a fine tipped Sharpie)

And bam!  A fun piece of art to greet your guests!
(I know, the 'glass' in the frame is a super shiny!  It isn't glass, but a flexible plastic.  Looks great in the space, just hard to photograph!) 

Take a clearanced frame from Hobby Lobby ($6.24), a burlap canvas, some Dollar Store clothes pins, some black and white botanical art from The Graphics Fairy, and....viola!  A little something for above the bed!  The whole piece measures 12"x24".

I wanted to keep the accessories neutral so they'll be easy to change up on a whim.

Aaannnnd, to top it all off here's a little peak at Mr. T wearing some adorable monkey jammies from Grandma & Grandpa.  When we got them for Christmas I thought, "Geez, it'll be ages before he fits in to these!"  3 months and 2 weeks new, he's wearing 3-6 size already.  Time: SLOW DOWN ALREADY!

Good Times & Funny Things

The weather here has been BEAUTIFUL the last two days.  And I even love the rain, so I won't complain about today's weather either.  Love me a thunderstorm!

Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately.

It was an 'open your front door while you pay bills and watch the kiddos play' kind of day.  I need a pedicure so badly, but couldn't resist wearing my new sandals from Target :) 

My cookie watcher :)  "Mom, can you please turn the oven light on so I can watch these yummy cookies get bigger and bigger until I can eat them!"

Annnnd...we're learning how to make our bed.  She usually does it how I would do it.  But today was a special surprise.  And no I did not do a THING to her hard work!

"Mom!  I'm a cheetah!  And did you know that I can run really fast and I can growl really really loud!" -June Bug.  She is OBSESSED with these ridiculous house shoes I bought a few years ago.

So that's our week in a few snapshots.  How's your week been?
