current obsessions

Oats: My obsession with oats started when I learned that oats can increase milk production. I started eating oatmeal everyday for breakfast which lead to eating oats for every snack! Thanks to pinterest it is so easy to find yummy oat recipes! HERE are some reasons you should be obsessed with oats!

Temple Run: I became addicted to this App while on vacation in Myrtle Beach. Grandpa Rick and Uncle Dewey were playing this nonstop so I had to see what the hype was about. I installed the App and have been hooked ever since! I feel like I am always waiting in the car while Matt "runs in" to the store if we just need something quick. It is just easier not to get the babe out-especially if he's asleep. This little game is perfect to fill the moments while waiting solo in the car. Here's the description:
"In pretty much every treasure hunting adventure movie there’s one specific scene in which the plucky hero finally gets his hands on the treasure but then has to navigate a maze of booby traps in order to get out alive. Temple Run is this scene and nothing else. And it’s amazing." - SlideToPlay.com

Wrapping things in yarn: Pinterest has inspired me to do many little projects here and there. One of them was wrapping these letters in yarn. I was inspired by THIS post. Then I took it to another level, wrapping everything in sight! I've wrapped sticks, glass bottles, and lamps! The hubs had to step in and say enough is enough! Pretty soon he would be wrapped in yarn if I hadn't been stopped!

Leaves:The biggest decor obsession I have is with leaves! If I could grow a tree through the middle of our house, I would. I love being outside in the summer going for walks and bike rides through the woods. There is just something about leaves that makes me feel fresh! I have wall art, picture frames, candle holders, jewelry, towels, shower curtain, soap dispenser, curtain rods, even our bed frame. I'm telling you this is a true obsession!

She Reads Truth: I first discovered #sheReadsTruth from another blogger. We go through a Bible verse a day and reflect on what God is teaching each of us-it is a sort of virtual bible study through Twitter. I don't tweet but I do read what others are responding to and I think it is amazing that we can connect miles apart over something so powerful! Join us!

outtakes

Photography is one of my hobbies and I especially love taking family photos. I just love capturing the love and bond a family shares. I had the privilege of photographing the Homstad's during their last month as a family of 3. Here are some outtakes from our afternoon at the park.

Troy loved being a model for the afternoon. Clearly!

Love Lucy's expression.

Challenge of the day: get a clear picture of Lucy standing still.

My trusty assistants.

Practicing the kiss.

knobs

Again, while visiting dad, we completed another project! I was inspired by Teresa's knob project where she took an old piece of barn wood and added vintage knobs and hung above her claw.foot tub. Adore.

While enjoying lunch...


I picked up my knobs at a local antique store.


I picked out my piece of wood from dad's never ending pile!


Stained.


Dad drilled holes and added adhesive.



I added hooks and a hanger.


Voila! Guest room decor! I found this "flowers" sign at a garage sale for $1 & I gathered the dried flowers while on a bike ride/run with the hubs.


*please note I did not choose the purple color of the guestroom! Someday I'll be able to choose:)
