Karmen's day at ballet

Why not start the day off with an Izze!





Karmen picked pink frosted mini doughnuts for her ballet instructor and class mates...


Couldn't wait to hand them out!


And really couldn't wait to eat hers:-)


One of her class mates gave her a super cute bunny





Karmen holding her certificate for completing the fall quarter of ballet.


Her teacher gave her nutcracker stickers. I think she did a good job putting them together.

Reminiscing of places I loved as a kid and places I like to stop by when I'm visit home in Georgia...



















Greene's
Here you'll find tones of candy, yummy chocolate and you can even watch them make fudge! Located in Decatur•














Farmers Market
Growing up in Decatur, I went to this market almost Every week. Either to shop or eat. You can find foods from all over the world and most importantly produce usually from the Southeast. I always ate their hot fresh out of the grease Samosas!!! (drool) Located in Decatur •













Stone Mountain Park
Pedal Boats
Setting sail on a voyage into Stone Mountain Lake in my own Pedal Boat was so therapeutic. I can remember chasing the shade and peddling away from the hot sun as fast as my legs could go...








I can remember climbing this mountain then being terrified of coming back down. I normally took the sky lift back down... even worse!•












Village Corner had thee best bread, cookies and cheese straws. My mom would order them over the phone then pick them up. We went a couple of times when they had ran out of the cheese straws! from then on we called first:)Located in Stone Mountain•












United Methodist Children's Home sits on 99 acres. Every year they had a HUGE yard-sale and bake sale. All proceeds went to the children's home. You could find some awesome stuff here. As a matter of fact they still have this sale each year. My mom and sister recently brought me some antique books from there:-) Located in Decatur•





















Baby Land General Hospital is the land of Cabbage Patch Kids! I took a trip to this place once a year to shop for diapers and clothes for my baby dolls.

a fabulous balloon speaker

I've been keeping a watchful eye on this cool gadget the music balloon speaker. I found it in the gift section at West Elm for a whopping $45. Ok, so the price tag is a little ferocious!!! Unlike you rich folks out there, i wait awhile for the price to drop. After waiting and waiting... and waiting, West Elm sent me a nice Christmas gift card. Uh yeah, a gift card. The first thing I thought was Yuen'to Music Balloon!! I couldn't wait to pick out my cool music balloon:D. After I payed $22 for it, I didn't feel guilty one second for buying this awesome speaker. It fits perfect on mp3 players and of course my beloved iPad (thNx kEn). I picked the green one. If you decide to get one, you won't regret it. Ta ta for now!

Thank you God!








Ok, so I posted earlier about West Elm- gotta love this store! Let me rewind: Today I reorganized my linen closet and realized I didn't have a lot of extra blankets or sheets. While waiting for a table at Coastal Flats how could I resist not going in West Elm!! I went to their sale rack and to my surprise they had blankets, throws, sheet sets, quilts, duvets for only $4.97!!! Although I didn't pray to God for a good deal on linens, I made sure to thank Him while in the store. They looked at me like I was nuts!! I really didn't care:-) by the way if i had paid full price, my items would have come up to $689.94- but I paid a whopping $36.53.

Carrots!

The girls walls are painted "clay", but it's more like carrots. It's totally bright! I like it and the girls like it, too!
