What's on my iPod v.9 {friday edition}

Well, it's that time! Friday is upon us once more, and at the cusp of the weekend, here are a few songs that I've been loving.



Foxes- Home. Such a good song to get you moving/motivated



The Receiving End of Sirens- Weightless Underwater. I used to be obsessed with TREOS, now I’m obsessed with this song.



Ben Gibbard- the Dream of Evan and Chan *the lyrics in this song mean so much.



Symmetry- Airplane. I am guilty of loving underground rap. And he’s from my state, Rhode Island! Dusty Pickup is one of the best hip hop cds I’ve ever heard.



The Middle East- Blood. This song is so sweet, and the video is so creative



The Dear Hunter- Poison Woman. The best part about the Dear Hunter is that all their songs basically tell a story



Secret + Whisper-Lovers. Lovingly referred to as Canada’s Saosin, I’m loving them lately.


Happy end of the workweek all (for some of us), enjoy a weekend filled with beautiful things! Xoxo

Friday Love; Birthday Parties

Lately I've been thinking a lot about Ari's birthday, and how she'll be three in a few short months. She didn't have a second birthday party, just something very small with the immediate famiily, so I want to make this year extra special for her. Her birthday is in November, but I'm hoping to have an early party, September most likely, so the outdoors can be enjoyed. I'm thinking of a garden tea party type theme, I know she'd love it. Lots of flowers everywhere, pretty candles, yummy small food items, mason jar glasses for lemonade or punch. Or a picnic party... I'm starting to gather ideas, daydreaming a lot...









really loving this

So now that I finally got those photos up, I'm hoping we can start fresh. Kinda like New Years Resolutions, but in May ;] I'm going to really try to update more frequently, and with a wide mix of content. I'm hoping to update the look too!

a Thursday morning laugh.

{Photo Dump pt.1}

I know I've completely been slacking with the upkeep, but my honest reasoning for such is because I take WAY too many photos, and I feel like my photos basically make my blog. It takes me soso long to go through them all, pick out the few that actually capture what I want to showcase, edit and then upload and post on the blog. A lot goes into these photo posts! But I'm hoping that after this I'll be able to keep up a little better. :]

These photos are much overdue, considering they are from Easter and the surrounding weeks.




Ari's green eggs! haha

My sister visited Rhode Island from Tennessee for a short time. One of the last nights she was here, us girls and our cousin Casey got together for some delicious Thai food.




Ari loves Thai food, especially Chinese vegetables such as broccoli. I'm so lucky to have an un-picky eater so unlike myself.




My beautiful girl <3
