A late easter update

April 29, 2014

Ideally this Easter I would have loved to be with my new little nephew who was celebrating his first Easter but I had to just pretend as my sister texted pictures of his cuteness to me. Luckily we were invited to spend the day with some friends of ours (who we spent last Easter with). Before we met up with everyone for lunch I decided to paint cute little flowers on my toes. I was inspired by the flower phone cases I saw in the Moorea Seal shop. Too cute!

It was so nice catching up with everyone especially the newest addition to the group, a new baby girl. If I couldn’t be with my nephew at least I had a cute baby to hold. Hehe. After lunch all the ladies took a walk around the neighborhood and soaked up a little.

Everyone was pretty tired after the walk from a full day of fun and activity so we spent the rest of the day relaxing at home. And guess what?! I managed to get through Easter without eating any Easter candy. And since cadbury mini eggs are the best it was quite the accomplishment.

Celebrating ohsoantsy’s 3rd annivsary

February 20, 2014

I have so much to share! I’ve been a little behind and off schedule because my dad has been in town for a little under 2 weeks. We had so much fun and I can’t wait to show you some more of this beautiful state but right now I need to get back on track! Starting with a recap of celebrating the ohsoantsy shop’s 3rd anniversary.

My shop turned 3 on January 31st and I had a little celebration on the blog but I also wanted to have a little celebration with friends and Walker. A few days before the 31st I caught a cold from our house guest (we’re making some silly sick faces in the second picture) and it was working it’s way through my system. I figured I could have it licked by the 31st, that Friday, but as it turns out I had not. All day long my nose was running causing my nose to tickle, my eyes to seize up and water profusely, and then maybe make me sneeze. It was pretty miserable since it alternately looked like I was crying and temporarily blind all day and I couldn’t control my snot from literally dripping right out of my nose (gross I know). I was going for it tough. Walker got home and at the site of me questioned if we should go ahead with it. Yessss I moaned because I really didn’t want to celebrate on a different day.

So I got dressed up, did my hair, did my best to disguise my sick face with make up and eyeliner and distract with bright red lips (although I left the mascara off for obvious reasons). Then I mustered up all the energy I could and celebrated with my friends. It turned out to be pretty fun but I’m also glad we decided to celebrate at home because once everyone left I went immediately to bed.

Happy 3rd anniversary! For next year I just hope not to be sick.

Happy Valentine’s day!

February 14, 2014

Last year Walker and I spend the evening together and we played a fun game of grocery store scavenger hunt and then made dinner together. We don’t make a huge deal out of Valentine’s day but it’s nice to make time for each other. If you’re looking for something low key but fun to do today check out my post from last year.

I’m off exploring the Olympic Peninsula with Walker and my dad who is in town visiting so we’ll be having a family Valentine’s day. I’ll chat with you next week!
