Faces of Arthritis Photoshoot

For my job I organized a 'Faces of Arthritis' photo shoot yesterday. The kids were so amazing and I can't wait to see the final shots. bellasaluti was so wonderful and kind to donate their services. Check out some of the pictures I took. 

TINY SERIES: A Tiny Mug

I am super into tiny things. How can you not be? Something that looks exactly like a real, life-sized object but it is so mini you just start to talk in a high pitched voice and get all squirrely. I'm worried that when we have children I will be into their little things way more than normal, like a crazy person. We'll cross that bridge when we get there but for now...check out this tiny cup my mom had at her house. I'm obsessed.

This amazing Etsy shop, Cute Cornwall, SELLS tiny mugs! They are adorable. Check out their shop and look at these amazing colorful Pig mugs. 

Paperman

Have you seen the new Disney short 'Paperman'? It has been nominated for Best Animated Short at the Oscars. It is so wonderful and brought tears of absolute joy to my eyes. Enjoy!

Last year, 'The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore' won. Watch it here! Enjoy and have a great weekend.

Milwaukee's Third Ward

Over the holidays, we stayed at my parents house near Milwaukee for a week. It was so wonderful and relaxing! We were also lucky enough to spend an afternoon in Milwaukee's Third Ward. Three highlights I have to share that are absolute musts if you're down there...

1. The Wicked Hop - Named Milwaukee's Best Bloody Mary's 2012. Dad wanted to take us all for bloody's - they have almost everything you can imagine on those buggers! 

2. Milwaukee Public Market - this place is magical. If you have never visited, please do! This olive oil area of heaven is my absolute favorite. Do you see this?!

3. Broadway Paper  - One of my husbands friends owns this beautiful paper store. It is filled with amazing paper and invites and trinkets! This pantone chair stole my heart.

DIY Valentine Garland

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I wanted to share a easy DIY to dress up your house!

Items you will need: glue, scissors, embroidery floss (I used pinks to fit the theme), pages from an old book and cardstock paper!

Step One: Cut out a bunch of hearts (sets of two) out of all the paper and book pages.

Step Two: Lay one piece of cut out paper on the string. Set them out in a variety of colors and sizes. I also made a few that were circles to add some character!

Step Three: Glue them to the string!

Step Four: Hang them up!

This is a super fun and easy way to make your house full of some Valentine's Day love!
