Favorites {February}

{A shaggy schnoodle}

There are a few ways to tell that seasons are changing. Flowers blooming is one of the most obvious and perhaps the most welcome. One of my personal reminders is when Sammy the Schnoodle outgrows his winter hair cut and requires a trip to the groomer. Sammy is almost four and while he is new to you he has been in my life since he was just a twinkle in his momma's eye. February was quite the whirlwind culminating in a visit from my besty and some much needed girl time for a friend's bachelorette party. I'm ready to welcome the warm weather and am most excited for what March has in store.

Favorites {January}

{Buttermilk Chess Pie at Eastside Cafe}

January came and went without me realizing mainly because I was preoccupied with preparing for my Mum and the Baby Sister's visit this past weekend. This year I have decided to tackle the new year differently. In lieu of the traditional 'resolutions' I always make and never keep, this year I decided to make myself a very long to do list. I started off with general categories and then made specific goals. I promised myself I would tackle a few items a month, thus keeping the good intentions I daydream of going all year-long. At the end of each month I resolved to reflect on the month that had just passed. So as I (belatedly) reflect on what I've started, here are a few of my favorites from the first month of 2012. As I check off items on my to do list I will be sharing them with you of course.

{My first attempt at a disheveled top knot}

{Perhaps my favorite Christmas gift which I gets tons of use of due to my work travels}
