birthday girl = baby



One of my favorite blogs is Birthday Girl..., and one of my favorite Inspiration Boards ever is the one she did for an Alice in Wonderland theme (last year, before all the new movie hype!)

Well, please visit her blog and wish her well, because she is gonna be a busy momma soon!!!

Happy Fun Friday everyone! I can't think of a more "Wonderful" way to start my "Girls Only" weekend!

See you soon.

"Eat" or "Drink?"
(you choose, but responsibly, please!)

Oh, and WHO IS GONNA BE MY 200TH FOLLOWER????

raccoon



via Love From Sweden

My husband's nickname for me is "Kelley Raccoon." My sunglasses tend to leave their mark while out in the sun...

I think this sweet little raccoon is a reminder to me to wear a higher strength sunblock on my face. (Or a bigger hat!)

Enjoying the lovely weather here.
Hoping you are too.
Don't forget the sunscreen everyone!
-Love,
Kelley Raccoon

dog n' bird



via a very cool wedding website called Dog N' Bird. Have you heard of them? (p.s. "she's engaged!")

Even though my name is Kelley, I have NO Irish blood in me! My husband (therefore my children) all do... They are having fun teasing me and saying I can't celebrate...

Well I say:

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY EVERYONE!!!

Bring on the green and the Guinness!


What are your plans???

here's to happiness


Happy Friday Everyone!

Got this great idea from the rockstar diaries to make a list of 10 things that make me (or you) happy!!!

Here are mine..., feel free to leave a comment with a link to yours!

1. The crazy laughs of my children;
2. Hubby's Huge Hands (and feet too...);
3. Lemonade (preferably spiked) and "Tasty Sandwiches";
4. Getting a phenomenal sale price on something I need (or didn't need!);
5. Reading a book by the fire;
6. Camping in our pop-up on the beach;
7. Potty Training is almost over;
8. Telling my daughter all about me as a kid and her grandma's, great-grandma's etc.;
9. Pool parties in Summer with wet towels, BBQ's, fresh fruit, etc.
10. Looking forward to the next holiday or get-together with family.
11. Reading other people's blogs like this one with their cool ideas..., Oh my. I guess I have 11 too!!!
