just a tribute: to the dc car show

I recently went to the Washington DC car show with my family and had a blast! We have been going to this auto show for years and it never disappoints. Here are a few snapshots from the day:


 The sad thing about this picture is that my brother actually owns a pager.


This is one of my favorite pictures of the day. I think it is safe to say John and I can never own a Fiat or any other small car for that matter.

This is the car that convinced John to come to the car show. It is dream to one day own a lambo....I can support that :)

just a tribute: to a well balanced breakfast

I used to be one of those people who never made time for breakfast in the morning. I have now realized how important it is to jump-start your metabolism. Lately I have been going through a real oatmeal phase. Usually I just have plain oatmeal and add a little Splenda to sweeten it up, however I have recently been adding some fresh berries to the mix and have fallen in love! I cant wait until berries are actually in season and a little more affordable :)

This mornings breakfast!


 As many of you may know about me, I am not a big coffee drinker. I like the occasional coffee on the weekend, but otherwise I am a dedicated tea drinker. Every season my choice of tea changes and right now I am all about Tazo branded Chai tea! I highly recommend you all give it a go!

I drink mine with a little splenda and a splash of milk!

just a tribute: to my valentine

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
I've eaten too much chocolate,
How about you?

A special shoutout to my Valentine, thanks for making this day so special!


John and I bought this beautiful painting as a gift to eachother, it has added some much needed color into our family room!

just a tribute: to ikat

Recently I have been obsessing over ikat print. I have found a few pillows, home furnishings, and even clothing in this pattern that I absolutely love! The pattern can be all different colors and make great accents to any room!


Here are some great ways to incorporate the ikat pattern:




In my favorite Ikat dress!
