Throwback Thursday

This picture always makes me laugh! Do you think I was a little frazzled by the dance? The next picture is the real gem. For some reason I could never quite get the moves down. Awkward Anna at her finest, going the wrong way.

But no matter how bad I was, I always had a little sister to come back to who thought I was the ultimate little ballerina.(Let's pretend I don't have 6 layers of bangs. Thanks Mom!)

Happy Thursday, loves!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Hi friends! I'm back for yet another WILW.

I'm loving that I married a boy that I've known since I was 3 years old. It's so fun to find old pictures of us together. Who would have thought? Plus, two of my best friends and my cousin made it in this one. How cool is that? And yes, our outfits were about 50 shades of awkward back then. Don't hate.

I'm loving that I'll be back in NYC in a few months. Time to visit that amazing Disney store again!

I'm loving that my Momma took care of me while i was sick this weekend. Being sick may stink, but being at my Mom's house was the perfect place for it. She brushed my hair for me, brought me water, and covered me up with blankets. She is just the sweetest person in the whole wide world.

I'm loving that I completed my very first gold dot project for the Pinterest Challenge! Look for a tutorial coming this week. 

Have a great Wednesday, loves! If you live in the North, stay safe in that nasty weather we seem to be having so much of lately!

Throwback Thursday

Phew! It's going to be a BUSY day! I would like to welcome all the new followers. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but I dance around like a crazy person each time I see a new person follow this little blog of mine! And don't even get me started on the comments... they absolutely make my day! Thank you all for being so wonderful! Tonight I am helping my hubby's school raise money for their senior trip. We are working concessions at a NHL game! I'm already completely dreading it, but trying to be as positive as I can. For the kids, right? Speaking of kids, I decided to do a little throwback thursday on the blog today. Enjoy!

Bow chica wow wow! No, but really...did you see that fanny pack? Or how about my sister's head-to-toe Barney ensemble? Little fashionistas. 

Have a fabulous Thursday, loves!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

It's that time again! I am excited to share with you a few of my favorite things from this week. I'm sure you will love them as much as I do!

These gorgeous monogrammed items from Crystal Faye. Seriously... how cute are they? And here's a little tip... she's doing a flash sale on her instagram page right now for the hat. Run over and grab one!

 

Disney princess onesies for babies.  Oh. My. Soul. Can it get any cuter? Can I tell you a little secret? I pray every day that we will have a baby girl some day. If we ever do, she will definitely be dressed like this all the time. 

Dooney for Disney purses. This one would be just perfect to carry around the parks!

 

This bow from Classy Ellebows. I will actually be doing a whole post on this amazing Etsy shop soon, so keep an eye out for it. The shop owner is so sweet, and she has some incredible designs. 

Happy Wednesday! What are you loving?

Pinterest- Taking the Challenge!

One of my favorite blogs, Merrick's Art, is hosting a fabulous link up! When I saw the post, I knew I had to join in on the fun. For the Pinterest challenge, we are picking six pins to complete in 6 weeks. This is the perfect motivation to get my domesticated-housewife on and finally complete a few of the 5000 pins I've been dying to try. So, without further ado:

1. The Gold Dotted Tray via Forchicsake. Um, can you say fabulous? It's such an easy tutorial and I'm absolutely dying to try it.

2. Disney Princess headbands. I found this fabulous tutorial and literally ran out to buy all the stuff to make them later that day. The problem is... I never actually made them. So, these pretties will be made in the next 6 weeks.

3. Gold dotted plates/ mugs/ whatever I can get my hands on. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pin. I cannot wait to make a few unique pieces of my own!

4.Make a wreath. I'm not sure which one yet, but this one might be my first choice.

5. Make some DIY confetti art. Are you sensing a trend with the gold dots? I'm a bit obsessed.

6. This one is a bit ambitious. I want to make a Disney princess apron like one on this amazing etsy page.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

Monday Ramblings and a Weekend Recap

Hello, friends!

Can you believe it's already Monday? Why do weekends insist on flying by? I had such a lovely few days off with my sweetheart. On Friday, we sold our old car! Remember that car accident I told you about? The collision shop that was going to fix it initially quoted us a much lower price than what it ended up coming to. Instead of making us pay an extra few thousand, they offered to buy the car from us to fix up as one of their rentals. We jumped on that opportunity after crunching some numbers. I'm just glad it's out of our hair. I took my beautiful Mom and Grandmother out to dinner after the sale. I was getting hit with some major homesickness, so it was perfect that my momma decided to make the drive to see me. We live about an hour and a half away, so I don't see her nearly as often as I would like.I wore the comfiest maxi skirt to dinner. It was on sale at Target for $5.98! I couldn't pass it up.I'm well aware that I'm not a fashion blogger, but outfits like these just make me so happy. 

On Saturday, I spent the whole day in my pjs with my hubby. Those are the best days! We watched some of our favorite tv shows, worked out together, and spent lots of time laughing. I was catching up on some blog reading when I heard him in the kitchen. I peeked over and saw him lighting a bunch of candles, making dinner, and he even turned on some romantic music! Seriously!? I'm married to the cutest boy ever. He made me a fancy grilled cheese dinner by candlelight. My heart melted. I managed to snap a quick cell phone pic when he had just started setting things up. Isn't that the most precious thing? I feel so blessed.

Another fun part of our weekend? Making plans to take his students on their senior trip! We are the only two chaperones (um, how did I get wrapped up in this?) and are taking a bunch his soon-to-be graduates to NYC! Do I have any local readers on here? What are your top things to visit in the big apple? I will be completely satisfied with a trip to the Disney store, but I'm so excited to explore.


Have a fabulous start to the week! :) Only 4 more days until the weekend!

Happy Friday!

Yesterday was such a fun day. The hubby and I typically don't buy each other gifts for holidays like Valentines, but he still finds ways to make it special. Yesterday we went out to PF Changs with some friends to celebrate. It was an absolute blast! We spent lots of time laughing and went to Starbucks after to continue the fun times.

I came to the realization that I've been with my amazing husband over 1/4 of my life. Such an odd thought! We dated for almost 4 years before we got married, and we are coming up on our second wedding anniversary pretty quickly. It's truly amazing how much has happened in the last 6 years. I am so, so thankful that I get to keep him in my life. He is everything I didn't realize I wanted.

I'll spare you a full-blown mushy post on this lovely Friday, but I'm so very thankful for that man I married. I'm feeling super blessed that God chose him to be mine.

Happy Friday, lovely readers! I hope you have a fantastic, relaxing weekend.
