I have noticed that i am super hormonal right now..and my pregnancy wrath is way worse than with sophia haha. (i'm gonna blame it on pregnancy..oh yeah..milking this.) 

let me give you an example of my pregnancy wrath.

Went to my favoriteeee place to get a chicken salad sandwich. i ran in first to order because sophia was sleeping and then ben ran in to order pay and we had a picnic in the car. i open up my sandwich and i kid you not i had one and a half pieces of chicken on one side and a bit more on the other. (usually it's overflowing and hard to eat!!) so....being a starving craving pregnant lady...i go ohh no way. and ben starts laughing and probably already praying for the poor scrawny guy at the deli counter. i waddled back in with my open sandwich and explain to the guy that i am a hungry pregnant lady and trying to contain my wrath but i ordered a chicken salad sandwich and that this was ridiculous. could he re-do it. i said it with a smile..but i thought he was going to cry for a moment. don't mess with a pregnant lady's food haha. he was great though and loaded me up and i'm sure as i waddled out he was talking about how crazy i was to the other girls there..i didn't even care.

ok. so....that is only one example of my craziness. but seriously..... one chunk of chicken??

i'm proud of you for reading this far. you are a true friend. thanks for letting me vent about my hormonal not that important moment. haha.

An Around the House Lovely: Arranging Wild Flowers

An easy way to bring spring inside is to grab up some wild flowers (or from your local shop if you have a black thumb like me...most of the time. i kill flowers without even trying)

place the flowers in whatever you have around the house! vases, bowls, jars, cans..options are endless! i love these arrangements. you could use these ideas for parties/events or just as a lovely display or centerpiece around your home.

The first photo is my favorite.. what about you? Are any of you gardeners?? When we move, one of the first things i want to do is plant lots of flowers that i could bring inside! There is something just so yummy about a huge bloom in a tea cup or bowl! so cute.

I was so happy to come home to some blog loving... here's two that have been sending me lots of hits. thanks ladies!!!
