It's Still December so I'll Wear a Onesie If I Want To. - *Photo Heavy*
Thursday, December 29, 2011
I feel like I can continue to share Christmas photos since it is still close enough to the holidays!
Sadly, I didn't get a photo of me wearing my onesie while opening gifts, that's a lie. I did get a photo but I'm just NOT going to share it! It seemed like a much better idea when I bought it. I mean...kids look so darn cute in them! Mental note - 27 year olds shouldn't wear onesies.
Okay okay...I'm a glutton for punishment...I included a photo of myself in the onesie.
*Christmas Morning*
My other half got me some fuzzy ear muffs for when we go bike riding at night and it's COLD...because that's the only time it's cold enough for ear muffs!
My onesie! That's me being tough and macho. It seemed appropriate since we were posing with my other half's manly man Christmas gift.
Oooooh! My mom's new camera. Fancy fancy.
Mimosa's for Christmas breakfast. Woo hoo! Yum. And me wearing jewelry that I got for Christmas and the onesie had to go because it started to get hot the later it got!
*Christmas Dinner*
Another shot of my dress - this time in front of the tree at my parents' house!
Me and my beau...and my shoes!!
Laughing because we were getting caught playing with my mom's new camera.
Pretty pretty ornament decor.
My shoes and my mom's shoe choice for the festivities.
So what...I love my shoes. I can't help it!
On our way home (and me with a pair of heels in case my shoes were painful...they weren't!) That's my step dad getting photo bombed by us! : )
*Christmas in Atlanta*
My parents went to Atlanta to see my brothers for Christmas. I couldn't make it because they were going to be gone for too long for me to take off work!
My nephew Matthew - He looks like he'll be a force to be reckoned with!
My brother Mark on the left with his kiddos - Matthew and Jessica - My other brother Michael with his son Mason. Digging into Christmas goodies!
My lovely mama and Michael.
Whew! Okay I will stop! I think this is the most photo heavy post I've done in awhile. It makes sense though since the holidays and photos go hand in hand.
Did you go out of town for the holidays or did you stay in your neck of the woods?
I hope my brothers will be able to visit next year because it's usually not possible for me to leave. Not to mention my pet sitting duties that usually are around the holidays!
Talk to you soon!
Break Time!
Thursday, December 22, 2011
So I think I'm going to take a page from the ever so lovely and wise Kate and take a scheduled bloggy break for Christmas.
I was on the fence about it because I feel SO disconnected when I'm MIA in blog-land but I think it's important to focus on the fam and Christmas-esque activities.
I'm thinking as of this post through Christmas day I will be blog free! I'll be back for a What I Wore post on Monday!
I have a busy schedule of pet sitting these guys for the holidays -
AND visiting with family, finishing up shopping for gifts, wrapping gifts, making dessert for Christmas dinner and all that good stuff!
I'll still be on Twitter though!
Talk to you soon and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Fabulous Friday Finds! - Gift Guide for Cat Lovers!
Friday, December 16, 2011
Okay okay, I know, I said I would attempt to include LESS cat-esque finds but it's almost Christmas and most people know at least ONE person who is an avid cat fan! Most importantly I don't like spending a lot of money so they are ALL friendly on the pocket book. Woo hoo!
First things first.
I have a hair appointment tomorrow and I'm *crossing my fingers* that this will be the final appointment for going red. With any luck there won't be any black left after this round!
Speaking of black hair, I debated on going back to black because it's SO much easier, but I thought I would at least go ALL the way red before I went back to black!
Has anyone else went black and decided to try another color?
I swear I'll never try another color if I go back to black...it's SO difficult to get rid of black!
On to the Feline Finds!
(Hehe...I'll take any reason to use the word feline)
Cat on a braided rug pin via Pinderella - $13.00 -
I recently purchased a pin for my boss from this shop and it is so pretty and colorful. When I saw all the cat I was pretty excited. A lot of her pins are made to look quilted, like this one, which is such a neat idea. Plus that cat looks extremely cozy!
Wood Magnet (vintage postcard) via MyFathersHouse4 - $3.75 -
I love this magnet. I love it SO much! And how neat is it that it's made out of a vintage postcard?
Phat Cat Spoon Set via toykoroseaccessories - $10.00 -
Not only are these adorable but they are dishwasher safe which is SO important! On the back of the spoons are little fish. So cute! A great addition to a cat lady's kitchen.
Recycled T-shirt Kitty Knots Cat Toys via LooneyJoonTees - $3.50 -
These are great! I actually ordered a set of these a couple days ago for my felines for Christmas. I can't WAIT to get them. I think I'm more excited than I should be. But they are light so cats are able to throw them up and bat them around easy. They will get lost for sure but a really great cat toy find!
Cat Lady print via flapperdoodle - $5.00 -
Yes please! Two more cats and this would be me! I LOVE this print and all of Kate's other artwork. Really classic designs with fun and spunky twists!
Height of the Morning Mug via Modcloth - This one is the biggest splurge but still not outrageous - $27.99
Seriously.Cutest.Mug.Ever.
And the little kitten is a stir spoon!!
Do you have any animal lovers in your life to buy for? Or are you the animal lover...will you treat yourself to any animal-esque item this year? What have you had your eyes on?
PS - Thank you Chrissy for sending such CUTE cat finds to me!
It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas at the Casa!

I'm so excited to share these photos with everyone!
This is the first year that I've had an actual Christmas tree set up and to top it off it's in a house that I own! It's still hard for me to grasp that fact.
I didn't take a photo of my wreath that I made yet so I'll share that another day!
First up - the CUTEST ornaments ever! I participated in an ornament exchange and Meg over at The Kissy Pearl made me the most adorable ornaments I've ever seen! Four ornaments for four cats!
Benny
Trixie
Charlie (I love that Meg even included Charlie's little Charlie Chaplin mustache!)
Penelope (The ornament is orange but it was night time when I took these!)
The finished tree! Can you find all the cat ornaments?
Here are the finished yarn trees that I made over the weekend.
I had so much fun making these trees! The buttons are my favorite. I got everything from the clearance Christmas section at Joanns Fabric plus I had a coupon so all the wreath supplies (not pictured) and the yarn tree supplies only set me back 30 bucks!
Alycia gave me the idea to give the trees a try and I'm SO glad I did!
I highly recommend giving them a try they really don't take much time to do. All you need is foam trees from the flower section of most craft stores, yarn, pins to secure the yarn when you wrap it, and decorations!
Now I'm just crossing my fingers our tree stays up! Last year we had to put the tree outside on our porch at the apartment because Penelope kept trying to climb it!
PS - Today is the LAST day to enter the KittyKeyCaps giveaway!
Talk to you soon!
