Today is my 25th Birthday! Half way to 30...that is crazy. I'm just spending the day being lazy and catching up on blogs. Hopefully the hubs will get home early and he can wine and dine me. 

Here are my goals/resolutions for my 25th year:

1. Eat & live healthier

2. Be patient & kind

3. Remodel the house

4. Build my business

5. Take more photographs

6. Pray more

7. Spend more time with family & friends

8. This one's a surprise!

Alphabet Prints

I am loving these alphabet prints created by Paul Thurlby. He is a freelance illustrator in the UK. You can buy these prints here and visit his blog here.

1 week countdown...

 ...to my 25th Birthday! I am getting pretty excited for my birthday next week, and I am also hoping I don't have a quarter-life crisis! Ha! Above is just a small wishlist. ;)

New restaurant

Julian is a new restaurant located in Kansas City, and I cannot wait to make a trip there! It is located in Brookside and sounds delicious. And it is a collaborative project between Nathaniel Cooper, Brent Anderson and Jordan Gray (some of my favorite designers!).

Be thankful...is a new series that I am starting on Sundays.

This week I am giving thanks for:

• a loving husband
• a warm house
• safety
• a pretty good life

Bathroom Remodel

 

This is the current state of our guest bathroom. Goodbye pink! I am happy to see it go and ready for us to make some progress on our house. This is the first big project that we are taking on. 

Our living room and dining room are almost done. I still need to get some things hung up on the wall, and then we will be replacing the floors in the spring.

What are you doing this weekend?

flickr friday: miss Capricho

flickr friday is back! And my first installment is about miss Capricho! I love her little drawing of herself and her watercolors are simple and beautiful. Go check out her flickr for more.

Prayers for Haiti

The earthquake in Haiti has caused so much destruction, and sadly there are still people trapped under the rubble...even though a day and a half has gone by. I have been praying for the people of Haiti that they find safety and comfort somewhere. I also decided to contribute to the Red Cross efforts. It is very simple. All you have to do to donate is text HAITI to 90999. This will add $10 to your phone bill and go directly to Red Cross to assist them. Please help me in contributing too. You will never miss that $10, but it will go a long way to help.

You have to go check out my friend Jeanee's new website/blog/shop. It is awesome! She did such a good job putting it all together. And I bet it is so nice to have everything in one place. Great Job Jeanee!
