The perfect Margarita {Chalk Art}
It was time to change the chalkboard again.. and since things are getting pretty colorful.. I went with something a little more fun. I found this print on pinterest from this shop and I really wanted to do that, but I mean, I didn’t want to be a full on copy cat.. so I just dabbled in the copycatness and made my own version. Her’s is so much better and I’d buy ALL of them if I could! And, truth be told I’ve never made my own margarita so this could be completely false and for that I apologize. Let us pretend that it really is though! So guests can say, wow.. she’s rad writing about alcohol on her walls..for her children to see. She must be mother of the year.
If only you knew.
Less talking, more pictures. And go!
*Please note we swapped out backpacks for swimsuits this week! Yeehaww!*
If you’re over the whole chalkboard walls trend I’m sorry you had to endure this. I’m still a big fan, and I’m not a dust hater so it works well in our house. 
As for the summer list that looks like it’s already checked off– those are from last year. Lazy lady here hasn’t even done 2013′s. Oy!

Ohhh is this one a good one! The ever talented Lisa Leonard is in the HOUSE. Okay well.. She’s here in spirit. She’s been joining Giveaway day since the beginning and I couldn’t be happier. Jared buys me a new LL piece every year, my two favorites I put on one chain and wear them daily..

Can we talk about her jewelry for a minute? It’s beautiful, and timeless. Which I think is the best part about it all. Everything has a timeless look, simple enough to wear during the day or when you’re all gussied up for a night on the town.
My recent favorite is her ‘love is my anchor’ necklace… Y’all know I love me some anchors!

Yeah, well how about some bling too? The people at Blue Nile sent me a little Mother’s Day gift the other day {squeal!!!} and better yet? They sent one for you too!
Seriously they’re gorgeous. Super shiny, sparkly, and dangly.

Mothers Day Gift Guide
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I thought it’d be fun to create a little gift guide of sorts. All though I’m still in the phase of homemade vases and sweet cards made at school- I need to branch out a bit when it comes to getting MY Mom a gift. However, I’m pretty sure if I painted a vase for my Mom and made her a card with my hand print she most definitely would not turn it down. 
Would any Mother?
A few of my favorite things– and things I know my Mom would love! I can’t say what she got though, since she’ll read it!
1.) Target Threshold frame with some cute pictures of her grand kids? She’ll melt like butter. Target has some great frames right now if you want to branch out of metals– they have really pretty weathered wood frames, and mirrored versions that I have my eye on!
2.) My favorite summer perfume ever. And, I think it’s still discontinued. But I buy mine on Amazon and I love it.
3.) A jewelry tree dish (also from Target, of course!) To hold all her pretties.
4.) Flowers. Obviously, you can never go wrong with roses.
5.) Speaking of rose…gold. Fossil has some gorgeous rose gold watches and I’ve been swooning over them a time or two. They’re classic and beautiful.
There you go! Hopefully you got a few ideas from it.. Come back tomorrow for your chance to win an AWESOME Mother’s Day gift for yourself! (Unless you feel giving and want to give it to Mom..) See you then!
