Coffee & Thoughts for the New Year


Happy Tuesday!

Hope you had an amazing holiday! I did :) I got to spend valuable time with family and will continue to do so this week as we give thanks for 2014. Welcoming in a new month is always fun, but when its January there is something different for everyone. There's a fresh new look on what is ahead and although many fall into the cycle of making broken promises (resolutions), it turns out good for so many! 

What things are you focused on right now that you are planning to let go of for 2015?
What things are you not focused on that you want to change or pay more attention to for 2015?

Nutrition and exercise are always on my list but seem to dwindle as time goes on. However, Christ and organization is truly on my list for 2015. And debt, kicking debt in the gut and getting it out of my life is a focus. 

Well, that's it for now! Have a beautiful blessed day!

Illustration: Sweet Rewards.

Happy Tuesday!

I am getting so excited for the holidays are here! It's totally making me obsess about next year, year to-do lists (resolutions - ha!) and vision boards! My vision board from this year is quite fun to look back on, because pretty much everything on the list has happened or is the works. 
How awesome is God? 

The only thing I missed was a vacay! Which is a major priority for 2015. Another daily priority is fixing my eyes on God, good things, and thinking and dreaming BIG! I know 2015 has great things in store for us all, but we must envision it to believe it, and believe it to do it, and then its ours! 

So here's a one of the sweetest, pun intended, illustrations that I have ever made. Sitting on mountains of cupcakes and ice cream "deliciouosness". 

The sweetest rewards come to those who dream big, think big, and give big!

Lately.


Happy Monday!

Someone is 11 months.
Wow, it seems like just yesterday I was wondering what you would be like, what you would look like, and getting prepared to bring you home with me.  
She is trying to walk now, eating everything in sight, and has 6 teeth. 
She bit me the other day. >-<

My heart perks up at the thought of her, I long for her when I am away from her. 
No one could ever tell me how this mother's love thing was going to feel, but I love it.
Here we go, ready to go on the next phase and adventure that being 1 brings. 

Excited and sad to see her grow so fast right before my eyes. 
Pumped for her first Christmas and to video tape her opening gifts, or eating the wrapping paper - her choice.
I love my little love bug. 


Hope you have an amazing day!

P.S.
 A prayer for you today, if you need one!

I pray that you find joy in the smallest moments of your day. I pray that you give of yourself and your time to someone other than yourself today, and pray for your strength through this stressful time of year. May you relish in the true meaning and find peace throughout your day. Amen :)

Last Minute Holiday Cards For the Busy Mom

Happy Saturday!

Yal, I have been so busy.
With the holiday my Etsy shop has been filling up with orders! I am not complaining, but I am being honest when I say that it has left me with minimal time for other things.
Remember our family photos post here?
I have been meaning to order holiday cards with these beautiful photos.


Where to start? There are so many sites out there that will turn your pretty photos into beautiful Christmas cards. I have just been procrastinating big time on this, but I must get them so I can mail them out by the New Year.

Tip for all of you that are running late on these babies - go with a Happy New Year approach and send them out closer to the beginning of the year. This give you another week or so to work with.

That's how we are doing ours, and we are using Minted.com. I have been wanting to try Minted out, because they have some pretty awesome designs. First I heard about them when planning our wedding. What I love the most about Minted.com is that many of their designs are sent in by designers across the globe, which is a big incentive for me. On top of that, right now, they have overnight shipping for FREE! Yes, FREE.

Their photo Christmas cards, here, give you a ton of design options to choose from.

Here's a preview of one of the designs I like:

Now to get my order in! Ha! Hope this helped any of you struggling with the busyness of the season! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

12 Days of Christmas Day 11 + Let Your Light Shine Thursday!

Happy Thursday!





Vest- Thrifted
Tan Sweater - H&M
Joga Jeans - Silver Jeans
Booties - Steve Madden
Necklace - Ragstock


It's been awhile since I've done any fashion posts. So I am happy to do one today to rave about our 11th giveaway in the 12 Days of Giveaways event. These lovely jeans by Silver Jeans. But these are not ordinary jeans, these are Joga Jeans. Joga jeans are the most comfortable jean known to mankind, and the reason why is because they are made with the softest jogging type of material on the inside of the jean. Yes! You get to feel like you are wearing pajamas. But if I didn't tell you that, you would never know because they have a beautiful fit and wash of any high quality pair of denim. They are amazing, like I'll probably wear them everyday. :)

So today we are giving TWO winners each a pair of Silver Jeans of your choice!
Real easy, enter the rafflecopter below to have a chance at winning this awesome giveaway!

Today's Featured Blogger is the lovely Laura from I do DeClaire.

12 Days of Christmas Giveaways - Too Faced Holiday Collection

Happy Hump Day!

We've made it to the middle of the week, and guess what?
We have yet another giveaway for all you lovely folks out there!

We got the chance to try out a lip color/gloss combo from Too Faced in Melted Peony - its a long staying lip color. Not really glossy, but it had a nice amount of moisture in it. The color was a light pink, and didn't work as well with my skin tone - on top of that I would likely wear a darker color during this time of year, so I mixed it with one of my go to glosses to tint the color a little to work for me! Overall, if I had the right color I would like the product - it has staying power, and isn't too thick and not sticky at all!
