Humungo Announcement + Friday Faves 14

Drum Roll Folks!!

Jake and I are getting a puppy....TOMORROW!!!! Whoop!!

We have talked about getting one since day 3 of dating. And now, finally, after 202 days of being married...we are getting our pup!


I will for sure be sharing pictures...and lots of them, soon!

As for now, I'm going to share my favorite pics of my first dog love....Zoe!! Zoe will be our puppy's cousin! And no, Zoe is NOT being replaced, just joined :)

This was Zoe being the ultimate attention whore at the wedding! Anywhere I went, she went. It is seriously one of my most favorite memories of all time!!!

My friend Keith gave me this painting he made of Zoe. He seriously gives the best gifts!!

Happy Friday Guys! Promise I'll get to posting more than once a week soon! And thanks for allowing me to do dumb stuff, like use my blog as a shrine to my niece dog :)

Freaky Friday Faves Week 13

Ok, it CANNOT be a coincidence that my 13th week of Friday Faves fall on Friday the 13th!! As a lover of the creepy and crawly....I was very excited when I realized this!! So, in honor of the occasion, I'll share with you my favorite shows and movies that straight up freak me out (in the best ways possible!).

My sisters and I LOVE scary stuff. I have some seriously fond memories of us sitting on our beds reading scary stories and watch Are You Afraid of the Dark.

(FYI: these are NOT in any type of order)

1. American Horror Story

Um, I'm sorry....what? I remember when I saw the previews to the 3rd season because it freaked me out so much!! I actually have issues watching this show by myself...and unfortunately I married a big baby when it comes to this kind of stuff.

2. Criminal Minds

Welcome to my favorite show on earth. It's not always scary, but it is usually delightfully suspenseful. I would say that I enjoy suspense over gory type horror any day.


3. Joy Ride

There is just something about being chased that gets my heart rate going. Plus Steve Zahn (if you haven't seen The Perfect Getaway, do it) makes creepy funny, and Paul Walker...well you know...he's easy on the eyes.

4. Walking Dead

Walking Dead isn't the scariest show out there...but there are a few episodes where I jumped out of my skin a little...but it is just an all out good show.

5. Final Destination

The sequels get to be a bit much...but this movie makes me sentimental to my high school days....

6. The Conjuring

Possession isn't my favorite type of scary, but there are always exceptions. This being one of them.

Vera Farmiga is in this and plays creepy well! She also plays creepy in two other faves: Bates Motel and Orphan.

Fun fact: my first scary movie was Tremors. I might be the only person ON EARTH who was scared by that...but I think any 5 year old would be! (Thanks, Dad!)

Friday Faves: Week 6

Hey-O!! Thanks for checking out my Faves this week!! Hubby and I have got another packed weekend ahead of us....full of fun friends! (Is F my favorite letter these days, or what? Feez!....oh I mean Geez!) I hope you guys have an awesome one yourself!

Well lets get to it....

1. Riffraff

I CAN NOT even begin to tell you how obsessed I am with this store! (Do I say that a lot?) They have such a huge and impressive online presence. I went to their store in Fayetteville when I visited my friend Laura in AR a few years ago and man, they know how to merchandise! Kirsten Blowers is the owner and has a really inspirational start up story. In her mid-20's she has built a very successful small business and they just announced they are opening a store in Dallas! You can shop online Here. Make sure you follow them on Instagram as well. They are always posting the latest info there.

One of my favorite lines they carry is the Dixie Love Collection.

Such a fun classic!


2.Peach Mango Green Tea Crystal Light

Fess up time....I'm not the best at drinking water. If I could, I'd chug-a-lug back Diet DP like it's my last day. This stuff, however, it my saving grace. I buy this stuff in BULK and keep it at work. It makes me have about 5 bottles of water at work as oppose to about 2 if I were to drink water regular. My runner up fave is Lipton's Dragonfruit Peach Iced Green Tea.

It tastes a lot like Starbuck's Passion Tea Lemonade, if you ask me!


3. Mason Jar Tumbler

I got mine from Target and I use it everyday! I like it because it doesn't sweat, and it won't break (well, it's not glass, so I at least have a grace period!). The only thing I don't like about it is the lid doesn't screw on super tight. Another downfall some might have is it doesn't fit in a cup holder in the car. I keep mine at work, so that isn't an issue for me.

I HAVE to have a drink with a straw. If not, I will constantly have my drink all over my shirt! Does this ever happen to anyone while drinking coffee...

Hot drinks like coffee and hot cocoa are the only things I won't drink from a straw and I pretty sure about 25% of the drink ends up rolling down the cup like this. Think my math skills are in check? Ha!


3. Kate Spade for Ked's

Unfortunately this pair is sold out in my size everywhere I've looked. One day though, I'll find a pair! These are a perfect summer staple in my opinion. There are lots of other cute styles as well, but you know me and my need for gold! Maybe Target will do what it does best and make something similar? Fingers. Crossed.


4. Navy

Guys. Mark my words. I WILL have a Navy wall(S) in my home. And soon! In our master bedroom to be exact. I am in LOVE! I will probably go by this to pick out my wall color.

I've got a project coming up that I'll share soon that involves navy! But for now, here are some of my favorite navy bedrooms...

Welp, that's a wrap of my 6th week of Friday Faves! I believe R.Kelly said it best: "It's the freakin weekend baby, I'm about to have me some fun!"

Friday Faves: Week 5

Hey Ya'll!! Man, I'm so glad it is Friday; and GOOD FRIDAY at that! It would be better if I got the day off....but that's still not why it would be called Good Friday, now is it? :)

This week I have decided to do an Easter theme of faves.

1. French Press Mornings

French Press Mornings has Encouraging Wednesdays where Jenny, the owner and designer, comes out with a new encouraging print on, you guessed it, Wednesdays! You can also download a smaller version for free. I'm not going to lie, some of my favorite parts of reading people's blogs is their about section. I always get an extra step of excitement when a fellow creative blogger shares my beliefs. It makes me want to support them all the more!


2. Egg Decorating

Unless you've been living under a dark rock, in the middle of Antarctica, you have seen the egg decorating business (if it's a real business, I want IN...STAT!) boom like crazy!! It is littered all over my Pinterest and Instagram feeds. I would say above and beyond this one, from Miss Renaissance is my fave!! I can't help but think how far little things like egg decorating has come, and where it will be when it is time for me to decorate with kids of my own, and even their kids! It makes me excited for a creative future!!


3. Dear Lillie Chalkboard Prints

Dear Lillie can rock out some serious chalkboard prints and canvases. Not only does this print make me want to sing Nicole C. Mullen at the top of my lungs, but it inspires me to start working on my hand lettering skills!


4. Empty Tomb Rolls

Here is a link for the recipe. My mom used to make these all the time! They are a fun little snack to make, especially with kids! It's kind of like a sopapilla, plus you can use those extra marshmallows for s'mores. It's a win win folks!


5. Anthro Wallpaper

Ok, this one isn't really Easter related, but with these pretty spring/pastel colors, I just could not resist! I mean...Anthropology....ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I want to take this wallpaper and wrap myself in a cocoon!! At 148 bucks a roll, I'll resist...but man I think I need some of this in my life!
