Beanie and Bird

we signed our refinance papers this morning...we are saving approx $240 a month...much appreciated breathing room!  if you are ever in need of a fab mortgage broker...ours is the best hands down!  he is HONEST {not common in the industry} and works hard to make you happy!  this is the second time we have used him and i can say we will never use anyone else!

anywho...

around the house...

 bird and I made spritz cookies...she is such a great help in the kitchen {yes...we do own a brush...doesn't get used much as you can see...}

 last week I decided to take down the hutch piece and create a collage wall.  it's so much brighter and open now...couldn't be happier.  i shouldn't show these since it's not completed but I have no idea when i will get art work...it could be awhile...for the first time ever i'm not going to rush out and get the first thing i see...i want to make sure i get the perfect pieces!  and i'm on the hunt for a great lamp too...i had to steal this one from my desk...and it misses it...

{once i get them filled i will make sure they all get straightened out}

 we went and got birds teacher present at a cute little shop down the street {my mother knows} and i found this cute print in the 50% off area...it is perfect...especially for $11!  

it's beanie, bird, and lucy...i {heart} it!!!  has great meaning for my little girls.  it's made by curly girl designs...i took a look at her blog and found out that her dog's named lucy too...how cute!  be sure to check her out!

you'd think i could clean up a little...you thought wrong...i'm turning over a new leaf...trying to be less concerned with the tidiness of our house...feels kinda good :)

happy thursday!
