After weeks filled with gloomy days, I could sure use some sunshine and pretty things to look at right about now...



Spring, please hurry this year! =)

C'est tres Mignon, indeed!

I've been following my lovely fellow blog friend, Rachel over at Elephantine for a long while and of course anyone who is familiar with her blog, she always has the most cutest finds. I particularly enjoy her beautiful photos and videos of her baked goods. A while back she mentioned how she was working on another project and I couldn't wait to find out what it was! I'm sure everyone was anxiously waiting to see what it could be...and holy granola! The wait was definitely worth it. Rachel launched a very well (and beautifully) curated online shop which carries kitchen and pantry goods as well as adorable table wares and packaging. Everything about her new shop, Mignon Kitchen Co is just gosh darn super cute. From the simple, fresh look of her website to the adorable logo - I just LOVE it all. Check out Mignon Kitchen Co right here!  

That girl never ceases to inspire me!

Snow day...

Yep...there is some abundant amount of snow coming down on Chicago right now. It's kept me trapped inside the house all day. However, I did brave this crazy snow storm and walked over to Dunkin Donuts for some coffee. I don't recommend doing this at all unless you want to accidentally slip and scald yourself with some freaking hot coffee.

Lesson learned. Stay INSIDE where it's nice and toasty and just make your own darn coffee at home.

After warming up a bit and drinking whatever was left of my coffee, I noticed how pretty and fluffy the snow was falling outside and decided to take some snap shots.

Stay warm this weekend, friends!

During the afternoon...





During the evening...



HELP.

I can't stop eating!
Self-discipline? What's that?!

I shaved my freakishly hairy legs last night so I can bust out the running shorts and pound away a few miles at the gym....but....never made it to the gym this morning. However, I did muster up strength to walk 2 miles to eat a hearty, fat laden breakfast meal. And right after that heavy, fat laden meal, I got a glazed donut. Soooooo sexy.

Why can't I stop eating?
Motivation? Where are you??!



Ooooh! The MOST adorable and clever birthday card made for a hubbie! LOVE.
