Day 20: My Shoes

I frequently trot around in these super fab, semi-platform Payless pumps. Can't beat comfy and cute. Oh! And, affordable too.

Love ‘em.

Happy Sunday,

Christi 

Day 20: Someone I Love

January 20, 2012: Someone I Love

I have a darling of a mother. 

She’s kind to everyone she meets, wise with every decision she makes, dedicated to her family, friends and work, and has a heart full of love. I’m so thankful to have her as my Mother.

Plus she has pretty sweet dance moves.

Love,

Christi

January 18 + 19: Combo photo!

I’m a day behind on my January Photo a Day challenge. Forgive me, won’t you?

January 18, 2012: Something I Bought

January 19, 2012: Sweet

I have a weakness for donuts, especially powered donuts. You know, the wrapped-in-plastic-awful-processed kind that covers your entire face and shirt with powdered sugar, usually right before a co-worker approaches your desk. Totally happens to me.

But, my most favorite are glazed donuts.

I'm combining Wednesday and Thursday’s photo challenge (and bring it to you a day late)with a photo of sweet glazed donuts I treated my co-workers to. Some days just call for donuts. 

Less messy. No need to hide powered sugar from your face. Only sticky fingers.

Happy Friday!

Day 16: Morning

January 16, 2012: Morning

Listening to the vet go over Benjamin’s knee surgery this morning. We can’t pick up the little guy until Wednesday afternoon.

He was left in good hands, tucked in his bed with his favorite blanket.

Can't wait to bring him home!

Day 15: Happiness

January 15, 2012: Happiness

Happiness for Benjamin is being treated with a new bone.

Directly after I snapped this photo he jumped in my lap only to have me hold his new bone for him. He’s quite spoiled and it’s all right by me.

Cheers,

Christi

Day 14: What I'm Reading

January 14, 2012: What I’m Reading

Reading for me is a juggling act between emails, texts, my Kindle (right now, The Hunger Games), the blogosphere and the rest of the social media world. 

Who else has read or is reading The Hunger Games? I'm addicted. 

Here's to a lovely Saturday!

xo, Christi

Day 13: In My Bag

January 13, 2012: In My Bag

Mints, money, random pieces of jewelry, crumpled grocery list, Purell, eos, keys, pen, agenda, hairspray, lemon notepad, lifeline and mascara. I may or may not have put it on while driving to work today. 

Happy weekend, 

Christi

Day 12: Close Up

January 12, 2012: Close Up 

Sir Benjamin Franklin Wilfred Jenkins. I heart the heck out of this face.

Love, Christi

Day 11: Where I Sleep

January 11, 2012: Where I Sleep

After completing my second day on jury duty, this place never looked so good.

I love this place.

Day 10: Childhood

January 10, 2012: Childhood

Yikes. Apparently, my sweet mother had a thing for denim on denim.

Halloween, 1986

High fives for denim!

Day 7: Favorite

January 7, 2012: Favorite

Traveling alongside MD is my most favorite thing to do. 

Whether traveling to another county or a neighboring state, we love new adventures. We are on constant Go! to make the most of trip; packing in as much food as our bellies will hold, as many bags as the Prius can carry and enough culture to pretend we are locals.

You readers are my favorite, too. Thanks for visiting!

Cheers,

Christi

Day 6: Makes You Smile

January 6, 2012: Makes You Smile

This photo and this man make me smile.

I took this photo in 2008 in Chicago the day after MD proposed. We were celebrating at a champagne bar located downtown in the historic Tree Studios called Pops. I remember everything about this wonderful August day.

Keep smiling y'all!

Cheers,

Christi

Day 5: Something You Wore

En route to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl, MD and I are going to stop by Bloom, a stylish boutique located in McKinney, Texas and owned by the fabulous fashion blogger Kendi Skeen of 'Kendi Everyday'.

I could not be more excited.

To go along with my exciting trip to McKinney and to continue with my January photo a day challenge, here’s the outfit I plan to wear when I visit her shop tomorrow. 


January 5, 2012 – Something You Wore

Happy Thursday to you!

January Photo a Day Challenge

Welcome to 2012, my friends! I hope 2011 treated you well.

Let’s commit to making 2012 our best year yet. Set a few goals for yourself and really try to stick to them.

I’ve set two goals: I want to keep a daily journal and continue working on being a sweet, loving, passionate and encouraging wife.

What goals have you set for the New Year?

Here’s something else I stumbled upon to get your January started off in a fun way. The fabulous Chantelle over at Fat Mum Slim created a list for a Photo a Day Challenge for the month of January.

Here’s how it works: Take a photo each day using the list above as your guide.

It's not too late for you to join in on the fun!

You can share your photos by uploading them daily to Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, or your blog.

Don’t forget to tag them with hashtag #JANphotoaday so we can keep up with each other.

January 3, 2012: Something you adore. 

I adore spending lazy days with my two favorite boys. (Oops! MD's feet aren't pictured.)

January 2, 2012: Breakfast

Homemade cinnamon rolls are a favorite of mine and MD's; especially during the winter months.

January 1, 2012: You (me)

Photo cred.
