project life--week 8

welcome to week 8 of project life--linking up at the mom creative.

i'm finishing up the february challenge...

#12 inside your closet
here's a little glimpse of what i wish was inside my closet...a bunch of louis vuitton luggage!
(although i'd be terrified to take it anywhere, so i guess it's good there is no chance that will ever be a problem for me!!)

#8 sun
i love this picture of mckinlee & mom with the sun streaming through.

#17 time
snack time at yogurtea--yum!

#21 a fave photo of you
mainly i love this picture because of where i am--anthropologie. what is it about that store that makes you want to live there in one of the displays?

#11 makes you happy
this little mug with my initial that my mom bought me is making me super happy! i have drunk my tea and coffee in it every day since i got it.

#6 dinner
when my mom was visiting i made sauteed salmon, baked potatoes & salad for dinner--it was really good!

this one wasn't one of my photo challenge pictures--just one i liked.
i got the download online (thanks becki for the link), printed it at home, got a frame & easel at michaels and it now sits on our dresser. chris and i (ok, mainly chris-ha!) aren't the best at leaving each other little notes. but this is so neat because as we think of something we jot it down with the dry erase pen--it's quick and easy, but still nice to walk in and find a new reason you're loved! here's one he left for me recently--aww, how sweet.

that's been my week--thanks for taking a peek!

project life--week 7

another week of project life--i just love documenting our everyday life in pictures. if you've never tried, why not try next week?

still doing this february challenge:

#15...phone
since i will probably never see this on my phone again this winter, i thought i should take a picture tonight.

#7...button
mckinlee is very into sewing right now. they are learning to sew in skills for living, so at home she practices sewing on paper and sewing buttons on fabric.

#9...front door
i love this wreath i bought at joanns last year--and my cute door mat i found at target recently.
it looks like i'm all ready for spring.

#19...something you hate to do
i usually hate to clean shower--the fumes make me cough, i don't like getting my clothes wet when the water drips down my arms, etc. well, it finally hit me...i should clean the shower when i'm taking one! so i got a magic eraser, nothing else, and cleaned it from top to bottom. no fumes and i was already wet!
why in the world didn't i think of that sooner?

#24...inside your bathroom cabinet
i'm so embarrassed that i'm posting this.
but i did buy cute organizers from target and this mess should be nicely organized soon!

#25...green
limes, tomatillos and a cute green umbrella

#10...self-portrait

a fun weekend

i remembered that i hadn't posted all the fun we had superbowl weekend. so here goes...
chris had got free tickets to a children's opera in dallas (the opera is one of his clients.) we invited some friends to go and stopped to eat at la duni before the show. it was the first time i'd been there, but i can tell you that it won't be the last! everything was so good.

here's chris' dinner

and mine.
it was called rice salad and it was delicious!

here we are

and our friends--patrick & mindy

the girls

here's the cupcake chris & i got to share later
(my favorite is always white cake with white icing.)

look how pretty the coffee was.
we didn't get a chance to sit and enjoy everything like we wanted to because we were running a little late and were afraid we'd miss the show!
but we're going to go back when we have an evening to spend there and at the mall (la duni is located in north park mall.)

after that yummy dinner and dessert, we went to the opera. we saw doctor miracle which was a one-act opera around 45 minutes long. it was really good--but then i love musicals! mckinlee wasn't too impressed. as much as she loves music, she doesn't care for musicals or operas.

sunday evening we went over to our friend's for the superbowl.
we had a ton of yummy food--including more veggies than we could have ever eaten!

these pretty cake pops displayed on the cutest football field were delicious!

we enjoyed watching cute baby jaxon smile

the desserts were amazing. i made these mini chocolate cheesecakes which are quick to make and always tasty.

here's some watching the half-time show. you can see how excited they were! ha!

me & michele
(i found this sticker that said:
life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hair stylist you like.)
i'm going to put it next to this picture of us in my project life album

some people, ahem kevin, needed a little more whipped cream on their cheesecakes.

me & chris

fun times.
