Seven Things

A few things making me happy this week...

1. Instagram: If it weren't for this fun photo app, the week would have gone by muuuch, much slower.(Username: sthomas85)




2. A clean kitchen: Seriously - A freshly scrubbed and tidy kitchen makes the world of a difference for my mood.



3. A Yellow Cactus: Apparently this is the only type of plant I can keep alive. I've had it for over 3 months and it's still looking gorgeous!


4. Pinning on Pinterest: I'm 100% guilty of this... Gotta be prepared and remember all those fantastic ideas when the day comes!


5. Ugly Sweater: Someone wore this to an "Ugly Sweater" party. HOW RUDE... I have something similar in my closet and would wear it to a "Fabulous Sweater" party.


6. Cookie Extravaganza 2011: An annual tradition... decorating all sorts of cookies, cake pops, pretzels and other tasty treats. December 11th, it all goes down. [I'm excited to blog about it and it hasn't even happened yet! Dork.] Here are a few ideas for this year:

{White chocolate-dipped Oreos with peppermint sprinkles}

{Colorful Cake Pops}

{Bite-Size Dipped S'mores}

7. Decorating: Nothing beats decorating for Christmas with the family. Tonight we are going to my grandma's to decorate the tree and put some lights up around her house. Tomorrow, Ryan and I are going to rummage through our storage unit and find our decorations for the apartment! Sooo-ohhh excited!

Have a wonderful weekend!
