holy moly

holy crap guys, where have i been?!

oh, i'll tell you.

vegas.

in the presence of mrs carter herself.

it was un-freaking-believable.

it was literally 115 every day we were there...i'm pretty sure if i tried,

i could have fried an egg right there on the strip.

it was so, so fun to see tay's sister and husband and spend a few days with them!

since they live in california, we don't get together as often as we'd like.

vegas was so good to us, we had such a great time, and i got a haul in the way of shopping-

here are some of my favorites! the outlets there are pretty bomb! and of course the strip.

love, love, love me a nice pencil skirt-especially one on sale!

i snagged both these skirts for 50% off-score!

since my sunday selection was seriously lacking, it was a great find.

.....

so, as one of the highlights of the summer passes, here's what

we have to look forward to in the coming weeks:

+ my 23rd birthday is on the 18th

+ michigan in exactly twenty eight days-YAY YAY YAY!

can't wait to see my family and best friends-one of which just got engaged!

+ tay's little brother cameron comes home from the philippines in like two weeks!

also, our etsy shop just had a feature on blog that features moms/mom products,

which you can find the link to here, called momegranate.

take a peek-it's just about how we got started, what we do, and who we are!

it was so nice of the lovely ladies at momegranate to do a special feature on us-thank you!

i hope you're all staying cool! this weather is crazy!

summer '13

happy sunday friends!

today tay and i made our summer bucket list, or at least a rough draft:

have you guys made one yet?

i wanna hear more ideas, so please share!

things at the crooked nook are going very well lately!

i had four sales this week!

i have even had a few ladies at church ask about customs!

i'm so so so excited everything is picking up!

(not that four sales is picking up, but i've had six total and four of them were this week! it's a start!)

i have two lovely ladies featuring my store/doing a giveaway soon

of some items from my store! as soon as the giveaways are up and running, i'll

post the link to their blogs on here-i'd love for you all to enter!

here are a few things from my store that i am loving--i hope you do too!

people have been eating this one up (see what i did there? ha!) and it's definitely

one of my personal favorites!

have you guys noticed deer are "the animal" now?

move aside owls, the deer are moving in! personally, i'm loving them!

one of my newest additions to the shop is this awesome chalkboard mug!

the chalkboard paint is heavy duty (not the stuff you find at hobby lobby or michael's, i mean heavy 

duty), and can be written on with a chalk pen or regular chalk!

check the rest of my shop out here

last night we went to a fireside about marriage together which was really awesome!

afterwards we went to the red butte cafe--oh. my. heck.

if you are in the sugarhouse area and looking for a bite to eat, go there!

they have a wide variety and their prices aren't bad either.

tay and i both ordered off the mexican portion of the menu and they were both amazing!

what a hunk!

i can't believe next month we will be married for two years!

what an unbelievable two years it's been!

work it.

happy tuesday everyone!

only five days until we leave for sunny california!

YAY!

okay so i know how everyone hates when people brag when they work out

but this last week i figured i should probably start getting real about my work out 

regimen to get fit for the summer and found this video and really wanted to share with you guys.

i've always been a lover of yoga (& a hater of gyms) so i went to search for

core strengthening yoga workouts on youtube and found this little gem.

i did it yesterday for the first time and holy moly it is awesome.

it focuses mostly on your thighs, butt, and abs.

(and it's only 30 minutes which is a huge plus!)

this video paired with jogging will get me back to my eight pack in no time...

oooohhhhh yeaaahhhh.

OH! and if you don't have an exercise ball, don't worry.

i just put my legs up on my couch and it did the trick.

do you have any great workouts you love doing?

let me know-i'd love to hear!

oh, and happy hump day tomorrow.
