FYI
I personally believe, that these are a super fun invention in the clock world and wanted to share the love. I typically {no comments from my family!} am the get out of bed when the alarm goes off kind of gal and never hit the snooze..... ever, but think it would be funny to watch others in my household chase their little clock around as it rolls and jumps and gurgles and chirps the whole time. You can even pre record messages on it..say what?!...now that is just some nutty fun right there! I already have some great phrases I would like to leave on the hubs clock! {wink!}
Check out the you tube video, it is really cute...and then head over to Nanda Home to partake in more.

light at the end of the tunnel....
I know you all are tired of my instagram photos!! I promise these are the last......but, I took so many while I was in New York...I just could not stop myself! These particular photos are from Brooklyn, and are some of my favorites. I am a huge believer in Photo journaling....capturing detail and moments that would most of the time be overlooked, but when captured and stored, provide great memories and inspiration.
Do it, and see if it does not change the way you see the world around you.

NYC is calling me.....
.....and I am on my way! I'm headed up to the city with JB for a little U.S. Open Tennis! We try to go this time every year, and my cutie husband is like a kid in a candy shop the entire time....giddy, excited, crazier than normal, tennis lovin' fool that he is!
I hope my boy Nadal pulls it out this year. I love watching him play, he is my favorite hands down.....love his great sportsmanship......{and his arms and abs aren't bad either!} I digress.....but seriously, I love this event and will be spending one full day and two nights at Flushing Meadows. Night tennis with the rowdy NY crowd anyone?....you just can't beat it.
The thing that is doubly cool this year is.... it just so happens, that Holly Becker is in the city tonight doing her book signing, and I will be there! I can't wait to meet her along with Anna from Door Sixteen, Melissa De La Fuente from Melissa Loves, and I have heard rumors about some others that will be there....good times. There is a small after party later in the evening for all of us to get to chat more, and I will be hitting that up with my buddy Grace Kang who owns Pink Olive. Grace has been such a source of encouragement and inspiration to me....I can't wait to spend some QT face time with her! See you soon Pals!
I hope to check in here with some photos.....but it may be hit or miss until I get back Monday night. I hope you all have a great rest of the week, and a wonderful, super duper, long weekend!
