Happy 4th to all!

In light of a great celebration, I thought I'd leave you with one of my now favorite thoughts:

"We live in the land of the free because of the brave"

Can't help but feel grateful on this day.

The thought of people loosing their lives brings tears to my eyes each year.

I can't put into words my gratitude for soldiers and their families.

I hope your day is filled with sunshine, sparklers, good times, and good food!

xoxo

p.s. I couldn't help but share this find via pinterest:

Above: fresh flowers. I've decided to get fresh flowers every two weeks. It just makes my home feel a little more beautiful. Fresh pair of my fav fuzzy socks. Can't live without them....I would die. My baby boy. Best dog in the whole wide world!

Above: Shopping! Window shopping of course. Like I can afford things from TJ Maxx! Ballet slippers I found at a second hand store. They were BRAND NEW! So mad they didn't fit!

Above: Three generations. Love my grammy.

Above: Me of course! Best sungalsses ever! Found them at the dollar store! Earing are from my grandma who passed away. I always love wearing her jewelry. It makes me smile to think of all the good memories. I miss her a lot.

I've said it once and I'll say it again.

I think I am a hoarder.

My obsession with finding deals at second hand stores has hit an all time high.

Let me put it in a way where you can understand.....

Imagine you are in your favorite department store (I know it may not be the same caliber BUT I really do love vintage clothing that much) anyways back to the example....Imagine you are in your fav clothing store (again) :) and everything is between .99 cents and $4.00 You tell me if you'd go nuts???

Ya that's what I thought. Now do you see where I'm coming from?

It's gotten to a point that if I were to photograph it for my blog each time I would have to do nothing BUT that in my free time!!!

HELP?!?!?

In light of recent events like the fire in my hometown. I feel more and more blessed with my situation. I feel for those who are going through far worse.

Peace and Love,

Don't know when I'll get the urge again
