tgif! 

sometimes life teaches you unexpected lessons. 

currently, i'm in the midst of learning how to take the high road.

and let me say, it's tough. 

being an adult in a middle-school-esque environment is exhausting and every day

i'm reminded that ugly people are ugly. 

amen!

i never thought i'd be almost 27 years old and dealing with adult children. 

 

what do you do when people are nasty to you?

birthday wishes

my birthday wishes!

my birthday is rapidly approaching and i figured i would make it as easy as possible to guide you in the right direction so i can happily accept i'm 27. 

in no particular order:

1. imac. i'm an avid believer in apple products and feel its about that time to add to my apple family. my macbook air, iphone, ipad, ipod, and ieverythingelse needs its MacDaddy to comfort them. in case you're wondering, you can find it here.

2. chaise lounge. i'm taking full advantage of this time in my life where the guest room is my closet and soaking up the space. but i definitely need this chaise lounge to nap on while i just can't simply decide what to wear. buy it here.

3. moroccan trellis blue grey rug. we need this to pep up our living room. c'mon, pull the trigger and just buy it for me. all you have to do is click here.

4. benjamin moore boothbay gray. bedroom needs a paint job. 'nuff said. here.

5. monogrammed necklace. i'm a newlywed and need to sport my new initials to make sure everyone knows i'm taken. buy it here with the initials "JHW" ... i kept my maiden name or else my initials would've been JEW :)

6. tory burch summer purse. this would look so good with summer. i need it. i really really do. and if you don't want to buy it here, i'd also be interested in a yellow sunshine color of new summer purse. 

please and thank you. happy birthday month to me. may 28th... bittersweet!

forecast: showers

forecast: showers. 

because i attended a wedding shower AND a baby shower this weekend.

get it? showers? forecast? woof.

meet kellen and cassie. these two love birds will be tying the knot

in a few short weeks and my handsome hotspice will be 

playing groomsman and i can't wait!

this cake was magical, if i say so myself.

i ventured from said wedding shower straight to this lovely baby shower.

i was greeted by these itty bitty swimsuits, shoes, swimming cap, and dresses.

i dare you to find anything cuter than these clothes, especially this chevron number. 

call me materialistic if you'd like, but i love gifts. 

not as much as if they were all for me, but i love them.  

we were asked to bring a book in lieu of a card to help build caroline's library and 

based on all of the literature she received, she's bound to be a genius. 

which bodes well for her because she is already getting the hott stuff gene from her mama!

case in point: 

her mama, juuuulie is on the left. with my sister, jessie, on the right.

that's a lotta tummy there, if i say so myself.

and here i am with the pretty preggers. 

i am so excited for all the upcoming changes for our friends and family and can't wait to celebrate the newlyweds and kiss little caroline's sweet face off!! 

was your weekend forecast full of showers too?  ;)

moment

sneak peek!!!!!!!

here's a moment in my day which includes a touch of revamping

this little ole desk of mine. 

first coat: primer. brace yourself for the full reveal coming soon. 

how could i not include a second moment of my day if it includes

two year old little boy hair flying in the wind from riding

his rocking frog so fast?

advice

i'm a relationship kinda girl. i can't help it.

i'm just trying to overcompensate for a void in my childhood and being a child of divorce with countless insecurities in an attempt to find happiness in other people.

just kidding about the insecurities. i've accepted those.

anyway, where were we? oh, right. advice. 

my advice: don't take any advice from me.

my advice: don't force a relationship. 

i don't care if he has six pack abs, a billion dollars, housetrained puppies,

a sister who could be your twin, a jeweler best friend, a private jet,

fashion sense, and worships the ground you walk on.

if you have to force it, let it go. 

my first heartbreak was at the tender age of 16.

then i dated some real questionable characters 

(unless you're one of them and you're reading this, 

then you totally rock and i'm clearly not talking about you.)

maybe they weren't bad guys but they were bad relationships

that lasted much longer than they should've. 

along with being a "relationship girl" i'm also a "fixer"

which together, means disaster... until it means happiness.

i wish i didn't waste my time trying to force relationships

because when john came around,

nothing had to be forced and it just happened.

it was that ah-ha moment that i didn't have to always be in control

and i didn't want to be in control. 

i know it's not rocket science, but that's my advice.

sometimes things just have to fall apart so better things can fall together. 

and may i add -- forcing a relationship is much different than

working for a relationship. because trust me,

john and i work hard for our relationship. 

oh, and wear sunscreen. everyday.

XO
