This weekend wasn't really a weekend.  I worked another 6 day week, so my one day off consisted of laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, and drinking mojitos.  Yup, I said it.  We made some yummy agave mojitos at home.  It sure does make doing laundry and cleaning a lot more chic carrying around a yummy cocktail in a mason jar. 
Due to the short weekend,  I don't have any exciting photos to share.  I did however take two still life shots of  greenery found around the house..  I have learned that even in the crazy, busy seasons in life there is always beauty to be enjoyed.  You just have to take the time to find it. 

Be Well,

Heather

Hope you all enjoyed Easter weekend.  Typically, Easter is a busy weekend with my husband being a youth pastor but this year he didn't have a ton of responsibility so we were able to enjoy it together.  This was the first weekend with some sunshine.  In Oregon, people come out of hibernation when this happens!  I picked up some plants at a nursery (above picture) to plant a window box.  I have never really been drawn to color in plants besides greens and whites.  Is that weird?

Hanging with my favorite girl in the sun.

Found this cool Chemistry beaker set at a antique store and purchased the large one for a cool vase.

With the warm weather, I pulled out a new maxi dress I have been excited to wear.  Gotta love classic stripes.

We are adding some updates to the exterior of our house.  One of the updates was a steel trellis we made for my vines to climb over our garage door.  Just waiting for some leaves!  Tomorrow I will be sure to talk about the modern trellis DIY.

I couldn't leave out the most exciting part of my weekend.  Kaylee Nicole entered the world.  Her mom is my best friend and I am pumped about the new addition in my life.  It is also so amazing to be entering this next season of  motherhood together.

Here's to a great week!

Be Well,
Heather

The weekend went by too fast! Pulling a six day week will do that, blaahhh.  I managed to snap a few photos of my one day off to share with you all.  I picked up some Easter Lillies at Trader Joe's.  They are so fragrant!  Even though I haven't had a chance to sit in the living room to enjoy them yet, I know they are there.

Being an Esthetician, I try to have my nails always manicured ( I do them myself.)  Who wants to receive a facial from someone with chipping, dirty nails? Anyways, I found a new color by Essi that I love. It is called Madame Moiselle.  It is the perfect neutral pink. 

I found two pillows for my upstairs bench.  The larger one is from Home Goods.  All Linen!  The embroidered green pillow is from Pottery Barn on sale for 9.99!  I really like how the two speak to each other.

My good friend Ashley gave me this amazing blanket that she MADE!  Isn't it gorgeous?  She is one of the most selfless and thoughtful people I know.  Those two qualities make a friend for life folks.   I decided this will be the blanket we take to Ethiopia with us when we pick up Collin.

Ashley also has a blog where she shares delicious, healthy recipes.

Lastly,  I picked up this cute blouse at a boutique for $15.  I loved the little black dot like print and the cut of the shirt is really flattering.  I had to snatch it up for $15.

Hope you all had a great weekend. 

Wanting to know if you like the "Weekend in Photo's"  series that I have started?  Is it a keeper?

Before you leave, make sure to stop by The Vintique Object.  Camille is revealing her twin girls room.  It is fantastic!

Be Well,

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.  Ours was busy as usual.  We had our last home visit with our social worker to complete our Home Study portion of the adoption.  In preparation for her arrival, I bought some fresh flowers to go on the coffee table.  I love ranuculus! 

On Saturday my new bathing suit that I talked about here, came in the mail!  I am so happy with it! Now I we just need some sun!

After the interview with our social worker we went out to celebrate with friends for happy hour. 

Lastly Nixon our bulldog and I had the opportunity to sleep in on Saturday. She needs her beauty sleep!
