Random Ramblings

Now that the Holiday season is approaching, all of the stores are making room for holiday decor. This means clearance on EVERYTHING. Like this AMAZING world market comforter I picked up for $30 for our guest room. It's reversible too.



DIY instagram garland. I use the postal pix app to print my ig photos. I hung with mini clothes pins and washi tape.


Rylee is sick again. With another ear infection. And possibly reflux. She throws up EVERY night. I've never done so much cleaning and laundry in my life. If its not reflux, she will be off to the GI doc in 2 weeks..I'll be in surgery so mom's got that appointment (thank god).



I Ry has a new obsession. Hazel Village Animals. Need an xmas gift idea? This is the way to go. They are so stinkin cute (and expensive). I got her the cat already and it's displayed on the cutest shelf ever. More to come on that later this week. 

I registered for spring semester classes. ugh. 

That's all for today. I have to go catch up on RHOBH, RHOM, Vanderpump Rules, & Teen Mom while Ry is napping. So many shows, so little time.

Halloween Fail.

Yesterday morning this was Ry...
Not thrilled about it being Halloween and plus she hates having her picture taken. As do I.




She goes to a daycare that is affiliated with a local college. Their teachers took them trick or treating at the dorms. So cute. But that made Ry super tired from all of the activity. Needless to say Halloween night was a disaster. She just wanted to sleep and refused to put her lady bug costume on. So I said screw it and we went home and she was asleep by 7. Oh well, there's always next year.

Old Navy is almost up there with Target

I usually buy most of my clothing from Target, but I've recently started to notice really cute things at Old Navy for a cheaper price. I'm all about comfort and plain jane looks. I do my make up about twice a year and my hair maybe five times. Lucky for me I have a boyfriend that likes this look. So I've rounded up my top favorite finds for comfort from Old Navy that I desperately want need.

Surgery Postponed..again

So right now I should be in St.Pete getting ready for the big day tomorrow but this morning I received a call saying that it was postponed again. A baby came in today needing emergency surgery and my surgeon is going out of town Tuesday so it's looking like it may be end of November now. This is getting so redic. But I guess that's what I get for choosing a top dog surgeon right. Anyways hope everyone is having a great weekend. At least now I can see Ry dressed up on Halloween. She is going to be a lady bug. I can't believe October is almost over!

5 Great Finds For 5 On Friday

1. This Etsy Shop. I just ordered two prints for Rylee's room. :)


2. This Teepee. I think this is going to be Ry's big Christmas gift. I like to do one big thing and then a lot of little things. Or my mom just might get it for her :)

3. If you haven't heard for all of those decor lovers out there, Domino is back! Although word on the street is that most of the photos found in Domino, have already been seen on Pinterest. So I have yet to buy this $12 magazine. But I am DYING to still get my hands on this book if someone would be so kind to get it for me and bring it to me while I'm recovering! Thanks :)


4. Comfy clothes from Old Navy. There's so many great new yoga pants and sweaters. Again, great for recovery. And Target has a pretty good selection too. And so does Victoria Secret...but who can afford that?

5. This bedding. Is it too early for Ry to sleep with a comforter? If not, I'm getting this. I'm obsessed. And it would be perfect in her room.


Wanna join in on the 5?

House Updated!..Finally.

Ta-da! Here it is. Almost done. I will forever tweak and play musical pictures to our home but this is the current state and the state it will probably stay in for awhile. My style is very eclectic. I love to mix old with new, bright and girly with rustic natural elements. If I find something I love, I make it work somehow. I love the challenge of bringing everything together that doesn't necessarily match, and making it flow.

Since this is a rental, there was only so much I could do. Ideally I would have white/gray walls instead of this awful yellow/tan color, dark wood floors through out the home, and new counter tops. It really cramps my style.

Get ready for picture overload.
p.s. My house is usually covered in toys. I quickly kicked them to the side for the pics :)
p.s.s: Sorry for the horrible lighting. I was using my phone.

Hope you like!

Master Bedroom





(Horrible lighting. Smallest window ever for a master. And we still need a headboard, new end tables, and a dresser.)

Rylee's Room



(We literally just finished rearranging her room and removing some furniture. Now that she is getting older she enjoys playing in her room more and we needed to make room for the endless amounts of toys. There's still a lot to be done. My plans are to add a small circle mirror over the crib. And hang some Sophie & Lilly artwork. I also want to add pom pom trim to her curtains (sew or hot glue?) and also get some new storage baskets. 


Successful Weekend

This is what our weekend consisted of:

A lot of goofing off.





Painting.


Completing my home office.


Getting a new dresser for Ry. This was actually my moms best friends daughter that passed away. She wanted Ry to have her furniture set. For now she is just using the dresser til she gets older but there is also a queen size bed, night stand, and vanity. Super cute and so sentimental.
