Have you tried these tasty, yummy coconut candies yet? 

I am such a fan! YUM!

Love List

I'm always one for anything patriotic.  Love this twist on a blanket. 

Patriotic and fashionable! 

I adore the color combo of tan, yellow, and aqua.

 European Vintage Soda Bottles.

What a fun vintage item to use anywhere in the home.

Blue Beach Glass Bath Accessories

These are so perfect for a bathroom, but then again, 

I could see the canisters in a kitchen too.

Love the beach glass look and the apothecary style jars.

If you have some serious state pride, then these darling pillows are perfect!
From the cute Etsy shop: Love, California.
How cute would these be for a gift if someone is moving or graduating?

I would have put a picture of UTAH up, had she had a picture of one....
I bet she is just trying to fill those orders and is too busy to put up Utah, right? ;) 
If she does not have your state, you can always make requests.

Meri Meri Party & Cupcake Fun

There is one problem with Meri Meri....
I can't decide which cupcake set I like more!  

There are too many cute decorations to choose from.

I think these cupcake kits are just too adorable.
I tried to get I-man to have a pirate party using these decorations and cupcake kit,
but he had his heart set on Star Wars.  

That's ok, because J-boy has a birthday coming up and he is still at the age 

where I can "influence" what kind of party he wants. :)

Don't you want to throw a party right now?  I almost do... almost.

TapeSwell

Love this decorative tape by TapeSwell!

What a fun, practical and unique idea.  Love so many of their cute designs, and how cute to send a package with this decorating/taping up the box.  Or use this to wrap something or even use as a border for art projects....really, the ideas are endless!

 

 

Belvoir Fruit Farms Drink

Don't you just love the look and packaging of these drinks

by Belvoir Fruit Drink ? 

And the taste is really yummy too!

 I guess that always helps.

Emmerson Made Valentines

I love the designs from Emerson Made. 

They now have darling flowers for Valentines!

And I just love the big poppy flowers!

Zoku Quick Pop Maker

Now, where I am currently living it is FREEZING, however, these frozen pops are still looking quite fun.  The idea is you can create your own customized pops, including cream-filled varieties --in as few as seven minutes. All I'm saying is these pops are looking much more appetizing than the normal Otter Pops my kids like. Is that a lemon I see? Kiwi? Ohhhh! Where is the beach right now? Where is the sun? I'm thinking this Zoku Quick Pop Maker would be a fun tradition to add to a family night tradition.

LOVE LIST

How cute are these contemporary treelike mugs from the Netherlands?

They look cute individually or stacked!

Lovely Suitcases

these would look darling in my children's rooms.

Gourmet Doughnuts

A new bakery opened up close to where my daughter takes gymnastics, on 12300 S. 177 W. in Draper, Utah. It is a very lovely store called Beyond Glaze. They make the most incredible and wonderful yummies. I mean, doughnuts are tempting enough, but gourmet doughnuts? Come on! Needless to say, they are a must try! I've never seen doughnuts look so beautiful and inviting! Oh, and here are a few of their flavors: Pineapple Tart, Key Lime Crumble, S'more, Blueberry Bliss, Raspberry Mango, Cookies & Cream, and German Chocolate. I can't decide which is my favorite!

Mini Mosaics

I happened upon another blogger by the name of Alisa today and thought, "huh! I'll check out her site. You don't see too many other Alisa's out there." Well, I'm glad I did because I found a darling new jewelry company that she owns called Mini Mosaics. Alisa, the owner of Mini Mosaic, describes her jewelry by saying, it is a "uniquely designed, sterling silver pendant that is creative and versatile. It allows you to design your own jewelry using interchangeable art tiles. Whether classic or contemporary, Mini Mosaic is wearable art for every occasion."

She has so many fun and unique mosaics. I love that you can just change them depending on your outfit and mood. What a great idea!

Things I'm Lovin'

How cute is this line of handcrafted jewelry, headbands, and belts? I just love how fun and unique they are. Old Soul, New Heart has so many more items on their site and I love them all! I love the vintage yet modern feel these bring.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Is it just me, or does motherhood have some major ups and downs?
OK, so maybe it is just life in general. On a daily basis, I find myself on different extremes: "I can totally do this! I love being a mom! My kids are so fantastic!" then the next minute: "how does anyone do this? how am I going to get through today sane? I don't know if I have any ounce of patience in my body!" I find myself getting overwhelmed with just the idea of what I need to accomplish or would like to accomplish....and that is just the idea, not the reality! Oh! How I need a course on time management! I'm desperate for it!
This poster might just help with a settle reminder each day. I'm always a sucker for "historical" things too.

HISTORY OF KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON:

The Keep Calm and Carry On poster has a fascinating British history. In 1939, in anticipation of the Germans attacking England, the British Ministry of Information commissioned Keep Calm and Carry On posters to help the population deal with their fears. Although 2.5 Million Keep Calm and Carry On posters were printed, the Keep Calm and Carry On poster was never actually issued and only a handful of Keep Calm and Carry On posters ever went into circulation.

Things changed in 2000, when British booksellers unearthed an original Keep Calm and Carry On poster in a box of books. The original artist is unknown, but they started reproducing the poster and now the British can’t seem to get enough of the poster print.

These prints can now be found everywhere in Great Britain, from homes to pubs to government offices. It is quickly proving to be popular Stateside with its wisdom for all seasons and situations.


There are quite a few stores on Etsy that have these posters. I think that here and here have a good selection.

Mabel's Labels

I love Mabel's Labels! I used them with J Boy on his bottles and sippy cups so they didn't get mixed up with another child's cup or bottle. The labels are still on even with a thousand washings! They are great for backpacks, clothes, shoes, household storage cans and bins. I love them!

Baby Carriers

With my babies I have used both a sling and the Baby Bjorn. I have loved both for different reasons. However, just for fun, I would love to get a new baby carrier. These are two baby carriers that I think are darling!
