Tid & Bits

I've been crabby this week. It's hormones plain and simple. Despite the crabbiness I've been thinking a lot about the small things. The small things that make moments perfect.

Maybe it's because of the good weather, but it's something and I like it. 

 

 

I'm officially obsessed with the Voluspa Candles at Anthropologie!
The scents are clean, crisp, and some of them even have a hint of that manly cologne/musk smell. Mmmmmmm!
Check them out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We get to watch Nanner (aka Hannah) for a few days while Danielle and Jason are soaking up the sun in Florida...bitches lol.
Gunner loves having Hannah come stay for a few days and I can't say that I mind seeing that sweet little face running around either :)

Like I said yesterday, mamas got a new iPad.
I have been playing around on it for the last few days, but I know there is so much you can do and utilize on an iPad.
I do not have any iPhone and my iPod is a nano so I have a lot to learn about an Apple product.
I can't wait to dive a bit deeper. 

Any tips, tricks, or app suggestions are welcome!

Kev and I went over to a friends house last night for our first summer fish fry!
 Nick caught all the perch himself :)
Definitely started the summer frying sessions off on the right foot!

What have you been up to this week lovies? 

Happy Thursday!

Simple

Good morning lovies! 

Today I'm going to link up with Classic + Glam Blog for their new feature Simple Pleasures and Alycia's newer feature tid & bits.
 

Every time I hear or say the words "tids & bits" I think of The Other Sister.
Don't you love that movie?

So, off to life's small things :)

1) Feeding the birds. 

 

I'm not a huge fan of birds, but during the spring, summer, and fall I feed them. 

Why? I enjoy watching them I suppose and they are nice to listen to when have the windows open or we are on the back porch.

Can I tell you that every time I fill that up I get a little nervous that this Red-Winged Black Bird that hangs out close by is going to attack me. They are mean and I'm pretty sure it's nest is in a near by tree. 

 Thanks to said feeder we got a sweet picture for my Photo-a-day challenge and it just so happens to be said black bird!

2) Cuddling up with this guy.

 Gunner seems to think he is a much smaller dog than what he is because he just lays on top of you. Really he'll lay wherever he wants, but I love that he's a cuddle bug! 

3) Watching the storm.

On Monday we got to watch an awesome storm roll in and let loose at our friend Kyle's house. 

Watching storms is one of my favorite things to do. 

It's pretty and humbling. 

4) New Cheesy Potato Recipes!

 Last night we made dinner with Jason and Danielle and when asking what we should have Danielle suggested these. Oh my I thought I'd died and went to potato heaven. They were delicious and I already know that I'll be making them many times. 

My favorite part? They are made on the grill, and they have bacon and cheese. Enough said right?

 Recipe found here: Three-Cheese Potatoes

Happy Thursday!
