Feeling Goofy

As the Little Sprouts Kindergarten kids would say...

Obsessing over collared shirts and braided hair lately


"What a computer nerd!" Ha. Love it.

Things I'm loving today...

Ugly Sweater Vest Challenge Part 2

As promised...

 I tried! How did I do?

Again, I know...I need to use my cam to take some better fashion shots. I'll get there.

Ugly Sweater Vest Challenge

Friday night all of the teachers at my school (aka, Soule Sisters) gathered to celebrate the birth of our friend and co-worker, Nancy (Happy Birthday to YOU). We enjoyed a fun night of laughs, food, games...and prizes. Prizes! Whoohoo! Everyone appreciates a good prize! I was loving every minute! But then again, it's all fun n' games until you (meaning ME) get stuck with the famous... *Ugly Sweater Vest*.

It is a Soule School ritual to pass this darling knit around each and every holiday season. This year... it was my turn. It is quite funny though, I chose the gift by chance and since this is my first year at Soule, everyone found it to be an act of fate and were pretty excited about it. :)

I am prepared to take on the challenge of wearing this little gem to school tomorrow. Can't wait to add a little sparkle here, a little sparkle there, belt around the middle, pencil skirt perhaps, tutu dress...hmmm... They won't even be able to recognize this tacky beautiful garment!

Exhibit A

Beautiful detail, really.

Yep, tag n' all!

Maybe a little of this and that! We'll just have to wait and see...

Christmas Card Preview

Today we dressed up and had a photo shoot for our very first Christmas card as a little family. Here is a sneak peek of some pictures (thanks to my sister, Kristina). Sorry for being so bossy. ;)

Christmas card print coming soon!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Our first Christmas MARRIED!
One of my favorite ornaments...thank you, Michelle! xo

Simply cannot wait to finish decorating the house this upcoming weekend. I love our home at the holidays...so very comfy cozy.

Our home last Christmas 2010...

Let's see how we do this year ;)

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have made these amazing cookies a ton over the past couple of weeks for different events. Trust me, these heavenly, melt in your mouth confections are no ordinary chocolate chip cookie.

Recipe seen here... the little red house ( a FANTASTIC blog by the way...I highly recommend it!)
