Fab finds:
~ Justin insisted on showing me this video....he was quite amazed by it.
~The Perch, this little hidden bar/restaurant in Chandler...full of hanging vines, white lights, and tons of birds in aviaries everywhere.

Yes this actually happened:
~All the laundry in our home was washed, hung up, and put away. This is a rare occurrence...as I loathe doing laundry, and it usually gets pushed to the end of my priority lists.
~We ate out four times this past week. Wow. In our childless days we ate out all the time, not so much anymore, which makes us healthier and keeps our bank account happier. Oh well, it was fun.

Feeling Appreciative:
~For a balanced week...for the most part...family, friends, work, home projects, work outs...good stuff. It doesn't happen every week...but I appreciate weeks when it does.

Food, Fitness & Fashion:
~I already mentioned the HOT Miso soup, didn't I? Wow. that stuff is SO good...I LOVE spicy.
~Completed my first "12 Week Active Link" Challenge. Activity that doesn't involve dancing or doing something fun, has always been my weakness...but the active link helps immensely. It's very similar to a "Fit Bit".
~I wore my new "Meadow Rue" nude blouse from Anthropologie to Saturday's Wedding. I was difficult to find something to wear it with and for it not to look too causal...luckily I found a high waisted black skirt hiding in my closet...paired with nude heels and was on my way. Side Note...I only shop in the sale room at Anthro...tons of fab finds can be found in there, you just gotta dig a little.

Baby Moments I Want to Remember:
~All of a sudden my babies have turned into little girls. It amazes me how much they understand and are capable of doing at the age of 1. The range of emotions they are able to express and understand just blows my mind. Last week I certainly had a moment of feeling like they've really turned into my little buddies...in the sense that I was able to do productive things around the house with them toddling behind me. I would finish a task {like make the bed} and then be able to pillow fight ....and they would just giggle and giggle. We're entering a new stage and it's awesome. They are more independent and mobile now...and they understand silliness, and teasing...and maybe even a bit of sarcasm...and it's just SO MUCH fun. Hannah is now pretty much walking everywhere she goes....still very wobbly...and the CUTEST thing I've ever seen. Emma will walk so long as your holding your hand, otherwise she prefers to walk on her knees...no rush baby girl, no rush.

I Turn it Up: I have two new workout songs that keep me moving....Fancy, by Iggy Azalea and 23, by Miley Cyrus and a bunch of other dudes. Yep, I'm that mom...pushing my giant stroller...listening mostly to hip hop and rap.
Something Inspiring:
Me... On Wedding Days.....Almost Always
Family Date Night at RA....seriously that soup.
Babies were having so much they didn't wanna leave. Hilarious side note, that's a plant directly behind Justin's head...his hair is not that out of control.
Baby Bugs spent some time this past week down at Gramps & Grammies (aka Baby Disneyland)
Enjoyed the BEST Indian Food in the Valley...Star of India. Honestly the BEST. And the owner and his wife are darling people and make you feel so welcomed! Papadum with Dipping Sauces, Garlic Naan, Peas Pilau Rice, Chicken Tiki Marsala, and Gulab Jamun....so delish.
Met up with Bridget Levi {B Town} and Matt Wheeler of Still Life Studios for some creative brainstorming...looking forward to some ultra hip and fab upcoming projects.
Celebrated my girl Kim's Birthday! Love her and all her sass!
Beautiful Wedding Day for Alexandria & Kyle. LOVED the Centers!
Transferring the gift table from the cocktail area to the Reception Room.
Happy Couple!
A Welcomed Party Crasher made a surprise visit just after the cake was cut. I posted a video of his surprise entrance here.http://instagram.com/p/n17FrhN50R/
Flowers were by Blume Events, and they were stunning.
Sunday Funday was spent down at Mom & Dads...super relaxed.
Mom... Not only a mom to me and my brother, but also Justin (as his sweet mom is in Heaven)...and a wonderful Grandmother to Hannah and Emma. She's the glue of our family...she's the Heart.
Sunday evening (Mother's Day) I spent laying on the couch drifting in and out of sleep as my little ones watched their beloved Tinkerbell Movie, and Justin grilled us up a yummy dinner.
Being a Mom, truly is the best role of my life.
what a sweet blog Jenny ♥ Love you! xoxoxo
