It’s the Little Things

I thought I’d link up with Lindsay’s “It’s the Little Things” Linky party this week… I love things like this as it makes me reflect over the week to remember what things made me smile. I’ve been doing better at writing in my gratitude journal at night, so this is more of a weekly summary …

Yes, my Christmas Tree is still up .. and other random confessions

It is a month after Christmas and yes, my Christmas tree is still standing in my living room. Yes, it’s a live tree (well, not so much anymore!). It is empty of ornaments and lights now so we are making progress. It looks a little sad and lonely at the point but it has brought …

2012 Word of the Year

Instead of coming up with resolutions that I won’t be able to keep through out the year, I decided to pick one word that would define on how I approach this year. So therefore, my word of 2012 is going to be: There’s a lot of areas in my life right now that lack focus. …

Cold Hands, Warm Heart Swap–Year 2

Once again I participated in the fun Cold Hands, Warm Heart Swap hosted by the lovely Sandy and Ilene. Here’s my post from last year. I love this swap because I get to know a new blogger and get a fun package in mail! But of course, I’m running late at posting this. I thought …

2011 in Review

{Source} Hello my blog readers, which I have left lonely for the past month. For that, I am truly sorry about. December proved to be a challenging month in starting a new PT job and having to adjust my body to working again set hours. The first few weeks, I just came home exhausted and …

Technology Tuesday–Edition 3

Categories:

by

Back to Technology Tuesday this week! This week I just want to show some cute accessories that I need for my all my gadgets – and I’m sure you will too once you see them!

1. Grassy Lawn Charging Station

Is this not the most creative way you’ve seen to charge your electronics? Just imagine putting this on your desk and seeing the reactions when people walk in and see all your electronics in the grass! A great way to hide those pesky charging cords.

2. Jonathan Adler iPad Case

I admit, I pretty much love all things Adler. I have quite a few of his designs in my Office already and this Chevron iPad case would be perfect for my lovely iPad. I just love the colors and the pattern.

3. Orla Kiely Laptop Bag

I have been eyeing Orla Kiely’s stuff for awhile now and when I saw this laptop bag, I knew it had to go in this week’s list. Would this not be the perfect bag to travel with? I love those cars!

4. USB Hubdog

Don’t have enough USB ports on your computer? Then you need a USB Hub – a Hubdog to be exact! This is a sweet addition to your boring black laptop. It’ll give you something to look at and amuse yourself with its cuteness.

5. Jawbone UP

This wristband is made to track your vitals and upload to your phone. It will help you exercise better, eat better and sleep better as it will actually wake you at the best time by vibrating against your wrist. This thing just looks really cool and I wish I could try it out but $99 is a stretch for me right now. The only issue I see is that you actually have to plug it in to upload your data – which is strange since they are a BlueTooth company. Anyways, check it out for yourself!

I had a great suggestion from a reader to do a review on iPhone Cameras for one of my Technology Tuesdays because I accidently left out Instagram on my Favorite iPhone Apps. I am planning on doing that now (Thank you, Elisse!) but I want your input – what are your favorite Camera apps? Doesn’t have to be just iPhone – I want to expand it for those of you who don’t have iPhones but I need your opinions!

WINNERS!

Are you Lisa? If so, then you won Anna’s giveaway and a $50 CG to Paper Culture! Congrats!!

Or are you Melissa, who apparently cannot stop winning!? You won a set of mini-cards from Sarah of Yes Teacher Crafts. Congrats!

Mamma Mia

MammaMia thumb Mamma Mia

 

y Mamma Mia


 

Okay, I really don’t know what I did with these shots but every one of them is out of focus. Grrrr. It was just one of those days. So I did a Polyvore, so you can get the idea of what I was trying to do. Ha. We went to see Mamma Mia Wednesday night and while I typically try to dress up a little more for the Theater, I was just happy to have the energy to get showered and dressed. I’m dealing with catching a cold and Wednesday I had a migraine too most of the day. I really wanted to see the show, so I did my best with the situation.

The show was awesome! I’m so glad we were able to go. The songs were great and energetic and so was the cast. Who can forget “Dancing Queen” from the movie and from the radio? It’s EVEN better live. It’s one of the few shows I’ve been to where the audience actually claps to the music and then goes down the aisle to participate in the dancing during the “encore” songs. If you’re in Atlanta, you have to go see it while it’s here. It’s here until Sunday.

For more information and for a further review read my post here: Mamma Mia Review.

What do you have big plans for the weekend? My parents are coming into town for the weekend to see Mamma Mia. Other than that, our plans are pretty normal. Some working and some relaxing. So we’ll see. Tell me what you have planned!

Red White and Blue v3 thumb Red, White and BlueRed White and Blue v4 thumb Red, White and BlueRed White and Blue v5 thumb Red, White and BlueRed White and Blue v6 thumb Red, White and Blue

Outfit: Blue dyed jeans: GAP, White Tee: Banana Republic, Earrings: Queen Bee Market, Necklace and Bracelet: Banana Republic, Shoes: Me Too

I know it’s the wrong time of year for Red, White and Blue BUT I’m having a slight love affair with Blue lately. I’m wearing it more and more which is good because it’s stretching out my comfort zone a little. Today I tried to keep it simple again but with a pop of red shoes. They’re my “Red Slippers” from Wizard of Oz. Love them. This might be the last time you see me in short sleeves as it’s getting cold here! I don’t have very good success with white tee-shirts. It doesn’t take me long to get the dirty or stained. Do you have that problem?

I’m so excited as I’m going to see Mamma Mia tonight with my BFF. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to the Theater and I just LOVE it! I will tell you all about it tomorrow! My parents are coming in this weekend so they can see it too. My dad loved the movie. Hahaha. I’m probably in big trouble for telling the blog world that.

What have you seen in the Theater lately?

Edited to add: do you see that big mark on  my forearm in the last picture? Oh yeah, I was stupid enough to burn myself with the curling iron. TWICE! Haha. It’s one of those with no clip, so you have to use a glove. The first time I didn’t use a glove – I know, my bad. The second time I did use a glove and I slipped and hit my forearm! What luck! It’s almost gone now – just a little pink.

Misc News:

I wrote about transitioning your wardrobe to Fall over here.

Also, are you Claire, Melissa and BusyWorkingMama? Then you won FREE Bliss Creamer! I will be contacting you shortly!! Congrats!!
