this color palette is totally singing to me today.....and so are those adorable pom pom necklaces.

comfort zone




i have a comfort zone or maybe bubble that i like to stay in....i always hesitate when something new is placed in front of me. lately i have been testing my comfort zone and trying things that the old shannon would not do. i think about this quote and go for it...b/c after all, what do i have to loose?


monday's should always start off with something pretty....these pretty much fit the bill.

my daughter's favorite song isn't old mcdonald had a farm or twinkle twinkle little star...it's not hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog from the mickey mouse clubhouse or ring around the rosie. nope, not my 3 yr old. when we get into the car, she strictly wants me to play eminem (or rather M&M) and rihanna love the way you lie.....i am sure her teachers will really appreciate that when she sings it at school.
