{pretty, happy, funny, real}


~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~

Every Thursday at Like Mother, Like Daughter.


Pretty
Some really neat Downton Abbey type shoes found while out window shopping on my birthday. 
Oh, I fell in love with these hard! Too bad they were almost $200 dollars. :(


Happy
I went out on the town with my husband for my birthday. I got my hair cut and highlighted (I hadn't even had a trim in probably 6 months at least!), went out to eat at a new seafood place, did a lot of window shopping and a little bit of buying. My husband, Mark, bought me the lovely orange scarf and beautiful earrings I have on in the photo. Mark also took this photo of me and was acting like a goof to get me to smile. It was a very happy birthday.


Funny
My favorite apron. :)
 I miss my occasional glass of wine. Especially while cooking. 
I just have a little over 6 more months to wait.


Real
This is me blowing out my birthday bonfire cake. Do you notice the chunk of cake that is missing from the side? Nice. I'm pretty sure one of the little kids had a hand in it, but no one would 'fess up.

  8. Ohmygosh! Those shoes!!!! AHHH! They are all kinds of awesome! They look really well made...and soft! Italian leather? Did you try them on? I could totally help you find a reason to justify the purchase.

    I love that picture of your gorgeous scarf and gorgeous you so much! I'm thinking Facebook profile. I look so awful when I'm pregnant. ... at just about any point. You truly radiate!

    And, I know how you feel about the wine. I'll have an extra glass today in your honor. Ain't I wicked? ;)
