Home Haul


I received quite a few things for my home for Christmas this year, so I thought it was about time I did a home haul! 

  
My mom got me all of this wonderful sunflower stuff! I especially love the sunflower clock! It's so pretty and so me! And the sunflower bowls are just adorable.


I have an obsession with mugs. 
And The Wizard of Oz. 
And Starbucks. 
The jar cups are a new favorite! Love them!


 Those little coke salt & pepper shakers are the cutest! And the camera picture holders were a perfect addition to my house.

I stumbled upon the Alice in Wonderland wall decor in Hobby Lobby and could not be happier about it!

Travel Diary: Flagstaff...Again!

I don't do a ton of traveling, but it's one of my most favorite things. Have I mentioned I'm going to Europe from February 25-March 10? :D

A few weeks ago we took a trip to Flagstaff, Arizona. It's about a three hour drive from where we live. I pretty much told my husband that I wanted to do a "special" winter OOTD in the snow and a LookBook. Also, there is a really old hotel in downtown Flagstaff that a bunch of famous people stayed in, and it's supposed to be haunted, and I really wanted to stay there!


I didn't snap any pics of the hotel or the room. Shame on me! But here's us in the room. I told Jason to do something funny so he slapped himself. Ha :)

One of my favorite places in Flagstaff is this organic coffee place that is conveniently right across the street from the hotel. 


 I didn't manage to take any pics of the hotel, but there seems to be an endless amount of coffee pictures. You can see what's important to me. 

 When we go to Flagstaff we always shop and shop and shop. There are so many cute little shops, and I bought presents for my mom and dad while there, and I may have picked up a little present for myself too. I just had to buy that yellow scarf!


Ah, the adventure in the snow, where I stumbled around and spun around attempting to get pretty shots for a video and blog post.

Conversation-
Me: I'm going to sit. Take pics and a video.
Jason: OK.
Me: Tell me when.
Jason: OK. I'm taking a video.
Me: *sits* *gets cold* Are you taking a video?
Jason: Yes.
Me: Oh. 

Jason is the perfect person for the job! :D 

 
This giant Christmas tree was right in the middle of downtown. 
And I loved it!

Happy New Year!
Everyone knows how much I love Europe. England, France, Italy. You name it, I love it. Or the idea of it, because I've never been! Although that's all changing soon!
This Eiffel Tower shirt is sooo cute. My family knows how much I love Paris, so when I opened this for Christmas I was thrilled.
