  1. Thank you so much for the ideas! I spent so much time looking at cookbooks for my brother but coulnd't find anything I liked. He loves to season things and grill. I'm so happy to have found your suggestion, I just ordered it!

  2. Great lists!!! I've been eyeing an '&' for my wall...LOVE the napping house- one of our favs over here. And those shoes of Greta's, I'm pretty sure one of my boys needs those! Josh & Jenna's smoke art is absolutely gorgeous!!

  3. Love this! Can we talk about your eyelashes for a second? They look fab! And the Petunia Pickle Bottom velcro silencer? I need to order that asap- it is the worst opening that stupid diaper bag at church. Love all of these ideas- thanks for sharing :)

  4. Ooh, I've wanted eyelash extensions for years. My Asian eyes lack ANY sort of lashes, so mascara is my best friend.

    Also, Bamboo oil from Alterna is the BEST. I finally made the switch to really, really nice shampoos and hair products that are sulfate and paraben free about 3 months ago, and my 30-year-old hair is finally 18 again!

The Exciting Plans for Our Primary Bathroom Design

Chris and I have always said that if we don't feel 100% all-in excited about a project—both of us—then we probably haven't found the solution yet.
