Vintage & Vogue
In my hometown of Campbell, we have a cute shop by the name of Vintage & Vogue. It's filled with all things 'shabby chic' and every time I go in there, I fall in love with their classy and feminine take on decor.

New Year...new me?
Wow - it's been over a month since I posted last. I guess holiday's will do that to you. But now it's a new year and everyone around me has jumped on the New-Year's-Resolution-train. And as always, I have not. I've found that this time of year tends to be a time of giving up things while trying to incorporate others into our already busy schedules. We end up just throwing goals into the wind...as if this year our hopes for a better "me" will come to fruition.
For me, there has to be something more to it -- support from the Lord. If I want change in my life, it has to begin with Him. I have to start by prayerfully considering what areas of my life need work/improving. Then i have to dedicate my goals and efforts to Him. And as try each day to change for the better, I have to lean on Him for support. And when I 'fail' or get off track, He has to be my source for loving accountability. And when We've made great strides toward a better 'me,' he gets to share in my celebrations.
Deciding to stop eating chocolate, for instance, is unrealistic (at least in my world)...but committing to carefully considering that which I put into my body because it's a temple given to me by my Maker puts things into a slightly different perspective.
Saying I'm going to improve my marriage is a broad goal with little direction. However, looking at specific ways that I can incorporate the Lord into my roles as a committed and loving wife will likely reap more reward.
I guess what I'm saying is, I can't just make a change by simply making a New Year's resolution...it has to be more than that. For me, it has to be a commitment that I make with the help of the Lord.

Anchor Jewelry
It's not a mystery that I love anything nautical inspired, especially anchors. James Avery, a Christian jewelry designer, has come out with a few pieces that are right up my alley.
While I already have a beautiful anchor necklace (a gift from my hubby mentioned in a previous post) the ring is too cute. And I love how the tops of the anchors resemble crosses.

Inspirational Music: Blink - Revive
This song really spoke to my heart since my terrible car accident last year. Things can change in a blink...
The Lord has numbered my days and last November could have been it. But He had other plans for me. Now, I realize how fragile our lives our, and how each moment counts. One of the versus says:
When it's all said and done
No one remembers how far we have run
The only thing that matters is how we have loved...
What a great reality check.

My Disney Adventure
This past weekend, my family met up at the Happiest Place on Earth, in sunny Southern California. It seems I enjoy visiting Disneyland almost as much now as I did when I was a kid. My three favorite things about this past adventure:
1. Laughing with my family
2. Taking pictures with the characters (especially the Princesses)
3. Tower of Terror (@ California Adventure)
