{ i am jealous, kinda }





I am jealous of all the wonderful creativity and time people have! Do you ever feel stuck? I feel stuck at my desk all day. I have these grand ideas but my butt is stuck in my CHAIR at work. Ugh....but I am so grateful for everything I do have.
My husband and I have been going through tough financial times {he's going to college full time} and it is easy to be negative. One thing I have started doing is thinking of all the good things in my life and saying them out loud.
1} I am  loved  by God
How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
psalm 36:7  

2} I have a wonderful husband who loves me for who I am {even when I don't and cooks dinner}

3} I have two beautiful healthy children

4} My wonderful  parents are always there to help and love unconditionally. {they are angel's in some form}

5} I have a bed to sleep in every night

6} I am ALIVE

I already feel better just listing of those 6 things! I want to challenge you to list the good things going on in your life the next time you feel sad, disappointed or just in a funk. It makes you feel so much better and the thing you were mad about pretty small.




















Lets decide to 
DANCE
{like no ones watching}

have a great day!
much love,

It's Friday!!

Well, the weekend is upon us. Here in Montana the leaves are falling, the snow in coming {eek!}, and the days are shorter.

But the fashion is fabulous! I love the rich textures of fall, like this beautiful iPad case by
MariForssell on etsy.

I have a love for God { ♥ }, my husband, my kids {Alexis, 6 and Michael, 4}, my dogs, fashion, luxury items {seriously, I have the "gift" of picking out the most expensive thing in a store}, diy projects, vintage jewelry , football , color, laughter, peace {ha-ha, like that is going to happen!}, salsa, shoes, shoes and shoes!
Thanks for following and lets have some fun together!!
