4 Men 1 Lady

Party inspired by “Where the Wild Things Are”.

A friend once asked me what my purpose for blogging was and the first thing that came to mind was, “to bring ‘pretty’ to the world”.
As plain and simple as that.
As my blog grows I have an increased desire to create more beautiful projects. However, with young kids at home…you know how that goes.
So in keeping with my purpose, I’ve decided to enlist some help of some guest contributors from time to time to keep you coming back for more beautiful projects.
Please let me introduce Kimberly Dekker who blogs at The Days of Dawn (“Dawn” being her middle name).

Kimberly is fairly new to blogging but has already created some seriously lovely projects.
She’ll be bringing us some fresh new projects for the next few months that we’ll all go goo-goo over!
Let’s show her lots of love!
The first project she recently embarked on was her son’s 1st birthday party which was inspired from the classic book, Where the Wild Things Are.

You can see more of the party and Kimberly’s other projects on her blog, The Days of Dawn…make sure and add her to your blog readers!

Why do these holiday’s always sneak up on me? My sweet mom is the “I don’t need anything” kind of mom. Makes shopping so easy, but so hard.
I’ve been frequenting Red Envelope for years now and always click on their site when I’m looking for a beautiful and unique gift.

I just received the lovely Nutmeg Tote (shown in the bottom corner) which I’m in love with!
They’ve got great gifts for her that can still make it in time if you hurry and order now.
Plus you can take 15% off your order with promo code GIVE15RED.

All photos taken from RedEnvelope.
I was given a Tote but not required to post about it. All thoughts and opinions are 100% mine.

VERTIGO and outdoor landscaping.

6 May 21 Comments

If you tuned in last Friday to check me out on the Studio 5 tv program you may have discovered I was m.i.a.
There was my project, there was lots of mention of my name but no Michelle. At 4:00 am I woke up that morning with the WORST vertigo I have ever experienced in my life. Seriously, I had to call in and cancel last minute, the day of because of Vertigo? I know, I still can’t believe whatever that was hit me like a mack truck. If you’re not familiar with what Vertigo is…it similar to being on the spinning Teacups ride at Disneyland while standing still. I’ve had mild symptoms before in my life just a few times. Nothing can compare to what I experienced on Friday. I got out of bed to try and right myself and literally tipped right over. The room was spinning so violently I couldn’t focus on anything and tossed my cookies all day. Vertigo is mainly caused by fluid building up in the ear and throwing your equilibrium off. Strange because I had no other symptoms of feeling ill, no cold, no headache, just a spinning room. Oh, the nausea! 48 hours later and I’m about 90% better. Big thanks to producer Stephanie for stepping in at the last minute and pinch hitting, she did a fab job (Studio 5 segment).

While I was on my roller coaster from He%* my sweet husband did a little landscaping project.
