Boulder Farmers Market

Boulder has one of the best farmers markets I've ever been to and it's runs April - October! This weekend, with Farrah, we hit up the market along with all of the other pale people of Colorado who were were out in full force -  elated to escape our homes and enjoy the sunshine. 

Kyle runs the purchases at the farmers market. He's become the cook in the relationship, which I fully support. It's just the beginning of the year so there isn't a ton of food at the market just yet - but we picked up the freshest spinach I've ever had, a block of local organic cheese, and a strawberry strudel that only made it two tents before it was split in half and devoured. Hence the lack of a picture. 

Yum. 

Puppies aren't allowed on the main drag of Boulder's Farmers Market anymore, but Farrah fits so perfectly inside my huge OG Lo & Sons bag (LOVE that bag)... plus when this adorable nugget is viewable by the public we don't tend to move very far. 

She's just too cute for the public these days. And she's all mine. (muahaha)

Happy Earth Day from snowy Colorado. 

Plans for the up-coming week: 

XX. Recover from my sickness

XX. Support Kyle while he gets his motorcycle license this weekend (ugh...)

XX. Make it through the work week (presentation wednesday, take kids to work day thursday)

XX. Re-arranging and spring cleaning my apartment (wanna see before + after pics?) 

XX. Accidentally finish the second season of Hart of Dixie...<3

printed business

I have a confession to make. I think I'm in love with paper goods. actually love is a little weak - obsessed maybe? but as of now this love is just pathetic because I don't have a baby, graduation, birthday party, bridal shower or wedding to plan in the near future. bah humbug - right? 

but - the smart girl i am - i managed to find the overlapping section in the venn diagram of myself and paper goods... business cards! they are the perfect treat to hold me over until I can find an occasion to celebrate with a lovely custom printed good to mail to all of my loved ones. 

let's talk business cards. do you do this too? whenever I give someone a business card, it's always missing the one piece of info I really wanted that person to see/know. don't be that girl scribbling something illegible on the back of the card that has already been permanently printed with information about yourself. scribbling someone on the back of card does one thing for me - nullifies how important any information on the printed card actually is. i needed a card printed with all of the great info about myself i usually write on the back of a card: blog url, twitter handle, cell #,  personal email and lastly - my nickname! 

so here's the winning design. after a few glorious days of surfing beautiful paper sites with a mission (remember, I live for this stuff), I designed the perfect card (via Tiny Prints)

i love everything about it, especially how proud I feel when handing them out. 

pro tip: to score a deal, sign up for emails from your tiny prints. every other week they send out wonderful coupons. 

furry bundle

we did it - we finally got our dream puppy.

meet farrah. my newest love. 

farrah came home with us on March 15 and it's been the happiest month of my life. 

farrah is a cavalier king charles spaniel. She's five months old and is hilarious, sweet and so smart. 

why the name farrah you ask? well it was always a joke between my bf and I that I wanted a beautiful girly dog with long flowing locks and a pathetically adorable face. 

enter farrah the perfect blenheim cavalier king charles spaniel.

The name that started out as a joke a year before, became the first and only name that came to kyle's mind after meeting our big, brown-eyed beauty. and it's perfect. go figure. 

things farrah excels at this month:

• sitting

• shaking

• not sleeping at night

• figuring out ways to sleep in the human bed

• snoozin'

• eating treats

• playing the 'chew on my own ear' game

• walking on the leash

• snoozin' and cuddling

• learning to jump on the couch (working on jumping off)

• bring brave

• lots of puppy licks and soft puppy bites

I guess you could say we're a happy family.

You know those days when life just doesn't stop? One thing after another, one screen after another, one cup of coffee after the other. When you forget when you're doing for a moment and take a deep breathe -  only to realize its the first time you took a deep breath that day? 

Well for those days, if we can find a moment to collect ourselves, use it to breathe and remember how lucky we are. Will what you're working on matter in 10 minutes...10 days....10 years? 

Perspective.
