giveaway: Lindsay's Secret Closet

We have a lovely giveaway! My dear friend Lindsay and I went to high school together. In fact, we danced together in high school! Anyway, she has this cute little shop called Lindsay's Secret Closet and we are doing a giveaway!

Lindsay provided me this awesome mint, striped maxi skirt and I LOVE it! I have worn it 3 times since I got it and there are not enough words for it. It is extremely comfortable, and it is still very fitting for showing off those curves we all love. Plus it's light and perfect for all seasons!

 I loved working with Lindsay and I know you will also. A big thank you to her for providing the product for me to review.

v-day decor

V-day is approaching and love is in the air. I think it's all sorts of exciting. Sorry for those of you who don't. Well this is my contribution. I designed some prints to hang up in my home to get us in the mood. What do you think?

I just got them printed and bought some frames and later tonight I am going to hang them up! If anybody is interested in getting these printables, just let me know and I am more than willing to share the goods. I'll post pics later of how they look all framed and hung.

february already?

Can you believe it's February already? This month is a special one. It's my birthday, valentine's day, and John and I will be celebrating our 6 month anniversary also! I can't believe it's almost been half a year already.

Over the weekend I drove down to Pocatello to judge a cheer competition. It was lots of fun and I was able to spend some time with my parents also. My dad and I went to cafe rio for dinner and watched the Jazz game together. The next day, my mom and I went shopping for an early birthday present. We picked out some fabric so I could make a quilt for John and I. We only have a comforter, and it would be nice to have an extra blanket for these cold winter nights. I hope to get started on the cutting on Saturday. What do you think of the fabric I picked out?

I'm hoping to do something a bit like this chevron quilt. I don't know what it is about chevron stripes lately but I love them. It will make for a cute design and some great snuggling.

I've never really done anything for the superbowl but this year John and I went over to watch it with some of his old roommates. I can't say I was too enthused over the game, but I did make a really yummy dip that everyone loved! Of course I got it from pinterest, along with all of my other great ideas I would love to claim as my own. Check the recipe out HERE.

It was absolutely delicious! Who can't resist a chocolate chip dip? Especially when cream cheese is involved. I used teddy grahams to dip. Next time I do it I will probably just use graham cracker squares though because the teddy grahams were rather small. Seriously though, it was so simple and such a success. I dare you to try it.

 John isn't really sure what to get me for my birthday/valentine's day so I told him I would make him a wishlist. Don't worry, I would rather know that I will love what I'm getting, instead of hope that he gets me something good. So here it is!

 

1. Pink, polka-dot, sweater
2. Nike free run 3.0 V4
3. Rhinestoned Heart Studs
4. Faceted Heart Necklace 
5. Workout Capris 

 As for what I'm getting for him for valentine's day, well that will just have to be a surprise!

Even though I was apart from John for the weekend, my favorite part was staying up late texting him. He still gives me all sorts of butterflies inside. I was even lucky enough to come home to a completely clean house. That's right, dishes done, bed made, clothes picked up from the floor. I think I'll keep him around ;)
