Slingshot

I love how Instagram makes our big world just a little bit smaller. When I came across Slingshot Coffee Company on Instagram I instantly fell for their stunning branding and their overall values as a company. After a nice email "meet" with Jenny, the owner of Slingshot, I knew I had to give it a go and actual try the coffee from the company that seemingly has been doing it right. Well, needless to say their branding matches up with the taste!!! It has become my favorite coffee and it's easy which is a plus for me since I am on the go most mornings. It's such a treat and another plus is that once the coffee is gone they become the cutest bud vases.

Cheap Decorating {an update}

I still get questions about my old house tour that was on houzz years ago so I finally took the time to update it with how it was redone over the last couple of years. I also realized in a recent hasty desktop cleanup I deleted a lot of our house pictures. My bad. Thanks to all you pinners I was able to recover quite a few, but I wanted an updated image for our front make shift mud room area piece that the Mr made when we moved in 6 almost 7 years ago. I could not reach the the play hat on the top that KJ threw up there a few months ago and the shoes are a mess so alas they aren't perfect, but they are real. I added a new plant friend that makes me ever so happy. Home Depot really does have a great selection. Best part is that it was only $14.00 and the basket was $12.00 from Homegoods. You can also see my thrift find umbrella stand that I found for $3.00 in her resting spot. That's a whole lot of happy bang for my buck!

Christmas Came Early

When Uncommon Goods asked me to take a peek at their this years Christmas guide I pretty much immediately fell head over heels for the custom stitch peoplepiece of art. They ever so kindly sent over one of our little family based off a few images of us. Is it not fabulous???? I wanted it to be shown, because it makes me so very happy.  In the end I decided to put it on the cabinet in our dining room. It really is our happy place where we talk, laugh, eat, do homework, play games, and entertain. It also adds another dose of quirk that you know I absolutely love. Even though this was my favorite, there were quite a few items that made my Christmas wish list and a quite few gift ideas for others. Do you tend to shop early? I try to be done by Thanksgiving every year so I feel less pressure. Ha.
