cutest girl singing.

I have no idea what she is singing about but I’m pretty sure I’ll give her anything she asks for.

courage doesn’t always roar.
sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
“i will try again tomorrow.”

My newest love (read obsession) is Dujour Magazine. Thank you Holly for the recommendation! I’m totally smitten.

“Dujour Magazine is sustainably printed-on-demand (which means slightly higher pricing, sorry!), in limited editions of only 1000 copies per issue, packaged beautifully in custom wrapping, with each copy containing an exclusive gift inserted inside. Your magazine will come with its limited edition number printed inside. For those on a budget, we also offer a Digital Edition of each issue below. They have the same content with even more outtakes and pages!”

Is $36 a lot to spend on a magazine? Yes. But how much do you spend on weekly/magazines that you throw away?

This week has been a doosey!

Have you checked out i don’t like mondays? Cute shop with free shipping and free returns. That’s double free folks. Emily got the most adorable skirt there.

And speaking of Emily… she posted a tutorial on How to: Smoky Eyes. I secretly want to be her. Hm, I guess it’s not a secret anymore.

Joanna posted these clothes from Toast. I love the dresses! And I love Joanna’s blog.

Have you ever heard of anything sweeter than a groom making his bride’s wedding dress? Ahh *swoon face*…



You can read all about it on Smitten, also by the lovely Joanna.

These little guys from ArtMind are so much love.

I have been wanting to make a vision board for awhile now. My aunt and uncle made one and they’ve been having fun with it. You can find a great “how to” here.

Oh and more lovely dresses posted by Chelsea.

Have a wonderful weekend! (I will be working Saturday and Monday which I am not loving, but what do you do? So more posts are on their way I’m sure!)

Sam and Ashley Brockinton are so adorable! (via rockstar Diaries)

Flea Market Style by Emily Chalmers has been on my wishlist for awhile now but after seeing Anne’s book review I knew that I could wait no more!

I love the white walls and splashes of color and the fun bold prints. I can’t wait to have my own home to start decorating! But I am definitely not waiting until I have a home to buy the book! And the flower chandelier below is amazing.

Possibly the cutest graffiti ever? Well, besides this.

I’m just posting this because it was a sweet/funny moment. It will probably sound like a silly nothing. It probably is. But it was sweet.

This is the point of the post:

Last Sunday at church about 15 minutes into sacrament meeting I look to my right and see Tessa (one of the 5 yr olds in my class) inching her way along the pew towards me. I thought she must have a message from her parents, which would be weird in the middle of church, or something. She walks past her two teenage cousins and gets up on the bench next to me. I said hi and asked her what she was doing and she smiled and said “Nothing, I just wanted to sit with you.” I looked over at her parents and they smiled. She then took a piece of paper out of her bag along with a ziploc baggie of Crayons and started coloring. I smiled and told her what a nice surprise it was and continued doodling on the back of my program.

See? It sounds silly. But even so, it may or may not have made me to get a little teary-eyed.

Tessa drew this on my phone with iDoodle.
