favorite things friday

The two houses I've lived in the past 3 1/2 years has had WHITE carpet. (puke) For the past 3 1/2 years I've wanted a rug to cover the ugliness. Every rug I've found was either over $250, and the cheap ones cramped my style. Well my friends THE rug has been found. The find was at COSTCO (of course). How much was it, is what you are probably thinking!!!? $49.. booyah! I'm pretty happy about it. Need a rug? Stop to your nearest Costco today! (They have 2 other cute styles if this one doesn't fit your fancy)

trips trips trips

i've been so lucky this summer. beginning of july i was able to go to idaho for a family reunion. i hadn't seen my cousins and family for over 8 years, so it was a much needed trip. we drove all the way there (16 hour drive) girls only, with four small children... we stopped in utah to hang, and not hang ourselves.

favorite things friday

things i have been doing lately: vacationing, feeling my 11 inch baby kick, and reading. i won't bore the non pregnant people with all the awesome prego books, so this favorite things friday is a diff book. i just finished, and it's one of those books where you are sad it's over.. Britt (my darling sis-n-law) recommended this book, and i'm glad she did!

"Graceling"
author: Kristen Cashore

graceling

it's fiction of course, and set in time of kings and castles. sounds really dumb, but so does vampire love. i'm very picky with books, and can assure you if you like hunger games, you'll love this.

p.s. i love Po. (that's the boy :))
