As you may be able to tell already, family is hugely important to me-- and my Abuelos (Grandparents) are my heros. They came to this country as refugees with little more than they could carry. They really had to work for everything they have and I’m sure that’s why my grandmother never throws things out. Far from hoarding, her meticulously well organized house is a collection of memories- old and new (thanks to her 5 great grandchildren). She can tell me where she purchased any item in her home ...

 I never thought I loved photography as much as I do now that this artist has popped up in my world. The fiercely talented Stephanie Vovas' work is visually captivating and thought provoking.

I have fallen in love. It's a bold choice for some- but for me, it's all too perfect. The black door.

Gonna keep this brief today... I wanna spend some QT with my Cutie since I was not with him all day yesterday. I want to share with you a little something I once picked up for cheap! I'm talking like cheapy cheap ($5--what the what!?). I frequent this little thrift store when I can and I have gotten to know the woman that runs it. She is a doll and I love going there because she has lots of goodies (and she gives me good deals). I have to admit though, I didn't buy this pretty little thing ... [Read More]

So if you are following me on Instagram ( if you're not- you totally should and the link is to the right ------> ) you probably saw some pictures of some pretty blooms. Between my birthday and Valentine's Day, the month of February always means fresh flowers in the house thanks to the hubster. However, come the end of February the blooms are always a little wilty but there are always some in the bunch that have a couple of weeks left in them- namely Carnations (love these little guys). So I ... [Read More]
