Felt + Linen
Colour Patch 1 by Rachel Castle is such a lovely collage of bold color. It translates so well into fashion and every day items, so I couldn't resist but pick out a few of my faves.

Weekend Recap
Another weekend is behind us but oh what a good weekend it was. You may be wondering, who is this cute baby and why is she on your blog? Well, this cute baby is Ava, and I am her aunt Mo. Hooray! Some highlights of the weekend include ::
- Hang out sesh with Raegan - involving beers, good music and Yahtzee.
- Taking Stevie to the vet and to the trail - she got a clean bill of health (and it's pretty awesome to take a dog to the vet in comparison to a cat, you know?) and all the people who saw her out and about stopped to gush over her. She's pretty awesome.
- Family time - we all got together for some food and love and we all stared and held and fell in love with baby Ava.
- Takeout + TV - the mister and I know how to do it up right, or something like that...
- Bathroom project - FINALLY we got around to making this happen. I painted our master bathroom 'mystical sea' by Behr and we bought wainscot to hang next weekend. It's going to look b-e-a-utiful.
Between a puppy, some baby love and feeling accomplished with house projects, there was a lot to feel good about this weekend. Let's just hope this week is a reflection upon it! Here's to a good week ahead, my friends!

Today, January 29th, marks the day which my home state was admitted to the union. Every year on this day I feel the need to celebrate all things Kansas. I think that might stem from the fact that Kansas day was a really big deal in elementary school - we always had an assembly and spent the learning day celebrating the best of the state's history. This day reminds me of many good times in my life, of good people I celebrated with who still remain my friends and of all the things that bring a smile to my face when I think about my 22 years in the sunflower state.
Even though the Jayhawks lost this weekend, and I can't come close to having a beer from the best brewery in the world, I'm still going to celebrate. I will listen to this band (reminds me of my years in Lawrence), maybe try to hunt down a sunflower or two to brighten up our home and think about all of my friends and family back home.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!
Have a Funny Weekend!

Sorry for the extra delayed post today - our internet has been down all day and we've been suffering ever since! Well not really, but the husband does work from home so it was a little stressful for him. We're back up and running now so we're all good. I just couldn't leave you all hanging without wishing you a great weekend! And I figured a little humor couldn't hurt in the process, right? Also, I just watched this video earlier and I can't stop giggling. Oh Chicago...
Thursday's Randoms
These sprinkle spoons from my favorite baking blog - Sweetapolita, are filling me with happiness and giddiness reminiscent of my childhood days. She seriously always has the coolest ideas, especially for her kids. I just love how fun and exciting these look!
Tiffany pinned Ralph Lauren's pool today and it's got me yearning for a vacation right about now. Last night I brought up the fact that I'm dying to go to Mexico sometime soon and this photo (even though it looks nothing like Mexico) just reinforces that desire. I love how RL's pool looks just like a pond or part of a river. Must be nice, right?

I'm loving the simplicity of these teardrop-shaped terrariums. Etsy shop TallPoppyGardens has some great stuff you should check out!
How incredible is this? You can snatch one up today on Fab.com (if you need an invite, let me know!). Even if it is originally for a Norwegian magazine article about a mass murderer...it's still a cool print.
How are your week's going? Sorry I've been a little silent. That changes today!
What's been inspiring you this week?
Puppy Love
If only puppies were all cute and no work....sigh.
Except this one. This one is rotten.
Oh Stevie.
White Washed
I dream of having a space like this - white washed and dreamy, neatly organized and simple. I'm beginning to doubt it's even possible for me to have something like this but thanks to the interwebs, I can pretend. But seriously, I want all these rooms. Bad.
Weekend Recap

Happy Monday, everyone. Here we are again. Monday. Goodie.
How were your weekends? Mine was delightful. It was very laid back and relaxed. Some highlights include ::
- Dinner at The Silver Dollar - I love going out to eat. I want to every Friday. Pretty much without fail. The husband does too, so we decided to try something newish that would be worth the drive (because everything "cool" is a drive now). The Silver Dollar was pretty tasty, I must say. There's something for everyone and the decor was so cheerful. Plus my whiskey cocktail totally hit the spot.
- As usual, we lit the fireplace as often as we could. We had family over on Thursday and lit the fire, we stayed in and snuggled on Friday and lit the fire and Saturday we had friends/family over and...you guessed it, lit the fire.
- Stocking up on wine at Trader Joes.
- KU victory - just barely, but it'll do.
- PUPPY LOVE! She pretty cuuuute
- The Logo Game - have you played it? It is awesome.
- Delicious homemade food including lasagna, quiche, lettuce wraps and twice-baked potatoes
- The newest addition to the Badger side of the family is here - on Friday afternoon, baby Ava was born! We haven't met her yet but we get to this week and I'm excited!
Hope you guys got up to some fun this weekend! Here's to a great week ahead!
Friday's Fancies + Have a Lovely Weekend!
Happy Friday, friends! I'm so glad the weekend is upon us as it's time to snuggle up by the fire and relax all weekend long. That probably won't happen (and it's supposedly warming up this weekend), especially if Stevie has a say in it - we'll likely be running laps in the backyard and playing tug-of-war all weekend long.
This week's Friday's Fancies is all about outfit inspiration. I think I needed this theme because I've been so uninspired by fashion as of late. Is it just me? I haven't enjoyed my clothes in awhile and haven't been inspired to go looking for new ones. There's something weird about that! I'm a pretty big fan of Marianna's looks in general, but this one is perfect for the wintery day many of us are having.
What are you up to this weekend? Something fun, I hope. We're waiting with anticipation on the news of a new arrival - the mister's stepbrother is having a baby today (at least that's the hospital's plan) and I'm kind of hoping to rope a certain somebody into getting started on a bathroom project. We'll see how that one goes :)
Happy weekend, everyone!
