'Call Your Girlfriend'

I know.. I know.. It's been sooOo long since I've done a post. Please forgive me for the abandonment... I promise I will be coming back as soon as thing thing called "life" settles down a bit. I miss you all from the bottom or my heart. Welp.. Hope you all had a great week so far!

My friend Lynne sent me a little video this morning that was just so adorable I had to share! Definitely reminds me of my two nieces which made me smile after watching. So without further ado... here is a Lennon Stella (12) and Maisy Stella (8) singing a cover to 'Call Your Girlfriend' by Robyn... please enjoy!!



I promise I will be back soon! xoxo,

Here and There

Updating you with a little here and there...
We had a new baby niece last month! She is so precious and so lovable! We are so happy to welcome her into this world!


Uncle & niece

We had some fun time with this kiddo, who is now a big sister :)


I had my annual Olson women's weekend up North and this organic raspberry pretzel dip souvenier at Nelson's Bros is delicious.


I am now about 7 minutes away from one of my favorite pizza place, Punch Pizza and oh boy that is dangerous.


Special delivery. Spicy Beff Jerky!!!


We are now close to being done with unpacking, dusting and cleaning. Our next thing to do on our list is re-painting our new house. Let me tell you, deciding on paint colors is not as easy as you think it is. I haven't completely decided on the colors yet but I do have a vision of how I want our house to look like. I might be sharing the process with you :)

Have a wonderful Memorial weekend!

Nature

My husband and I are really enjoying our new home. Every morning we get to wake up to the sound of the birds singing in our backyard. One morning while I was sitting at home working I looked out the window to our backyard and I was astonished by the fact that there were wild bunnies coming out to play. I love it! It felt so nice and fun! I quickly went outside to take pictures of them and found ducks flapping their wings oh so loud and splashing water everywhere in the pond. They were just hoping along in our backyard. Birds were flying everywhere and signing so loudly. It was one of the happiest moments I have had at our new home…just enjoying the nature, smelling the morning fresh air and hearing the song of the birds. The pretty bird singing the morning song. I came from a city life style and you don’t get this in the city so that’s why I am in awe of all this :) and loving it at the same time!

Have a great night!

been a busy bee

hello there! i've been a busy bee for the past months. lots going on and one of the excitements is that my husband and i had moved into this yellow house (photo #10) :) that's one of the fun things about being married - work hard, save hard and buy a house. It feels awesome to know that you and your husband accomplished something together - and many more to come. We still have a lot to do to make it feels like our home and we are enjoying every moment of it.
  it kind of looks like Christmas with all of our stuff being packed in boxes but it did not feel like one when you had to unpack them. it has been weeks and we are still not done.
  what we got along with the yellow house is an awesome yard! a dream come true :) so don't ever stop dreaming!
  with a yard like that means hard work but i think we're ready for it...our toy arrived yesterday and my husband was happy to see it :) our fun riding lawn mower!

all the photos were taken with instagram on my android phone.  i was so excited that they finally had the app for android phone :)

have a wonderful rest of the week!

love,
