... my new wall art.
I walked into my room and saw that I had a new art arrangement above my bed.I heart it. I really think it completes the room.
Who needs Pottery Barn?! ;)

I Love...
...a day out with the girls.
Flower girl dress shopping. (Yup, she's the flower girl in another wedding!)
Wedding shoe shopping.
Fancy dress shopping.
With 2 of my favorite girls on the planet.
What could be better?!

Snow Day
For the last few days we have been preparing for snow...and it's a good thing too, because take a look at THIS!
Just look at all that snow. It boggles the mind to see snow like this in Texas. Everywhere you look...white! It's a wonder that we even have power.
So what do two Texas girls do with themselves on a snow day?
They bake.
Valentine's chocolate cupcakes.
From scratch.
Here we have a little quality control.
Ding! They're done.
Break.
For a princess make-over and for lunch (while cupcakes cool).
Turn on a little bakin' music.
Look closely, Mandi. This is for you. (You're right! I dig her!)
Okay...back to baking. Time for frosting.
Ahhh. And there they are, the lovelies.
You know, I'm not sure where we'd be without this sweet reward...or the continuous coverage of the Ice Storm of 2011 for that matter. We are counting our blessings, I can tell you that!
And while we are on the subject of blessings...thank goodness I bought a 12-pack of Diet Dr. Pepper at the store this week, cause going to get one at Sonic today would be completely impossible...well, with all that snow. So...phew! That could have been B-A-D!
Finally...enjoying the fruit of our labor. Y-U-M!
So cupcakes got us through the afternoon. (When you stop a lot for dancing, baking can take quite a while. We had Beyonce on...so...naturally we had to get our groove on.)
I guess for the rest of the day we'll just stay hunkered down until some of this snow clears. You know, snow is fun from time to time...but I just don't think I could live where it looks like THIS
all winter long.
Cause honestly, I'm getting a little cabin fever here and my hips will not appreciate any more baking!
Stay warm, y'all! ;)

...watching Idol with the hubs!
We are really liking these new judges. They're pretty funny.The whole show has been pretty entertaining...lots of sarcasm...which cracks us up!
Any American Idol fans out there? Thoughts?

I Love...
...cooking in an apron.
Especially when the apron is so darn cute!I know the point of an apron is to protect your clothes from splatters and spills while you're cooking, however, I really don't want to get anything on my apron either...so I might need an apron for my apron. Hmmm? This is a quandary.
Thanks for my apron, Erica!
Love you! ;)

I Love....
...Braelyn's new quirk.
All of a sudden Braelyn has decided that she cannot see without her Dora glasses! No matter that these glasses have no lenses...she insists that she's blind as a bat without them! So, here we are the store with the glasses on...where she also, btw, was passionately arguing on the phone (and by phone I mean an empty eclipse mint case) with some poor soul. It was a very long, loud, one-sided conversation. Literally, it lasted the entire shopping trip. Down every aisle.
People were staring. And chuckling. And why wouldn't they? It's not every day that you see an irate 4 year old with lens-less glasses talking on a mint case down the aisles of the grocery store.
Is it weird that I was very proud? Well...I was very proud. I love a girl with quirk!
