I {Heart} Mugs

I personally feel that this topic deserves its very own post.  Among all the things I love and adore, which at times can be quite a long list, I love and adore Mugs.  Not the kind you look at in a mirror, but the kind you drink your favorite coffee or tea out of.  I even think that some mugs are perfect for oatmeal, cereal, ice cream and such.

When I find one in the store, I love to pick them up, hold them in my hands and pretend to envision myself sipping my morning coffee on the couch.  I truly love all the fun shapes, sizes, colors and patterns that you can find them in!  I moving more towards an eclectic mix of mugs.  Not all matchy-matchy, because really, who sets a table with matching coffee cups?  NOT ME!, nope, go to the cupboard and pick out your fav!

Here are some of my new favorites.  All different and unique in their own little ways, (Heidi, I love that our initials are there together, we look so cute).

These are from a favorite spot of mine, heard of Anthropology?  Ugh, I drool all over the floors of this store.  I make such a mess=).  These monogram mugs are so stinkin cute.  ooh, they would make a cute little mothers day gift, doncha think!

And then there is my beautiful Cath Kidston Strawberry Mug.  It has been my mug of choice lately.  Just love love love it.  It's big, but not to big, and my coffee just tastes better in it.

I'd like to get the spray rose and polka dot mug to add to my collection.    

And nothing is better than this pretty little Jadite mug.  I LOVE this color green.  Creamy coffee looks so pretty in it.

And this funny little mug speaks for it's self.  No need to expand.  Just go here and get it.

And just for good measure, Crate and Barrel has provided me a combination of {two} of my favorite things, checks on a mug.  The only way they could make this better is if it was Red!

So, do you love mugs, or am I just crazy?

We're back Ya'll

We are on the plane, getting ready for "Take Off"!  Our trip to Texas was a blast!  The girls had a great time surprising Grandpa for his birthday and getting to meet all their wonderful Texas Family. 

 There was boat rides at Choke Canyon Lake.  

 Lots of Goofing around and a day of fun at Kiddie Park!

 Horseback Riding was a HIT!

 My little cowgirls.  I love them and so did everyone else.  I can't wait till we get to go again! 

Yeehaw Ya'll

I'm getting REALLY excited!  In four more days I'm leaving for Texas!  All four of us are getting on a plane and heading to the country.  This will be a trip of many 'firsts'.  This will be the first plane ride that the girls will remember, first time in Texas, first time meeting Family and Family meeting Jillian, first time riding a horse just to name a few.  I will have to keep a list while we are there.  Stay tuned for photo's, stories and funnies.

It's definitely been a jam packed couple of weeks.  Last weekend I headed out to a woman's retreat.  What a wonderful weekend spend with my Mom and sweet Brie.  It felt good to be surrounded by people that I love and can be myself with.  We learned all kinds of wonderful things about ourselves and in the process uncovered some spectacular ways to Live our Faith and pass that to our children.  I walked away with such a sense of encouragement about who I want people to see me as and that I need to live my life a certain way to accomplish that!  

 I also had a few hours to spend tinkering around a couple antique stores while we were 'relaxing' and scored myself a new vintage table cloth and a very Happy enamel bowl!  Total score!

---> Oooh, and if you just click right {here}, my bestie Heidi is having a really fun giveaway on her blog.  Go check it out and leave her some love!  I can't tell you how good it feels when you open your blog and see that people are actually reading it!  There are days when you feel like.....'..tap, tap, tap, is this thing on?'

And just because no post is complete without some pictures.   Okay, see you in a week!
