Happy leap year! My mom texted me the other day saying that feb 29 is the only day that a girl can propose so I laughed when she suggested I propose to Kevin. I told her that's not gonna happen, although it would make a great story! it reminded me of the movie Leap Year, have you seen it?


Winter weather reminds me of when my mom would make us grilled cheese sandwiches and warm tomato soup. So for lunch I did just that. Using the George foreman grill (seriously the best thing ever for cooking) I made a pesto grilled cheese sandwhich. It was a-mazing. Especially with different kinds of cheese- medium cheddar, muenster, and provolone complete with some pesto inside. couldn't get a better grilled cheese than that! the tomato soup i have that i loooove is one i found in the organic section of the grocery store and i can't ever go back to campbells anymore. i guess i'm just a tomato soup snob now..

living in an older apartment complex at college, with hideous patterned couches, you have little amount of options to stylize your apartment. here are some little projects and ways that i added some personality to our front room and kitchen!
printed this quote and now its the motto of the apartment. "chin up buttercup. everythings going to be OK." somedays its nice to read that as you walk out the front door. its hanging in a cheap plastic photo frame from target.

i bought some cheap styrofoam boards from walmart and using paint and tape i made the chevron and stripes. the camera photo i printed out and pasted on there then painted a border. i found a couple frames to hang up along with them. the bike photo was printed as well and hung in the same type of frame as the "chin up buttercup" quote. all of these printed photos i found through pinterest. 

aren't these skirts adorable? i wanted the J.CREW catalog in my hands to drool over the super cute clothes for march, so as i was looking online today, i ordered the catalog. i cannot wait for it to come! pathetic huh?
i love the length of these skirts. it's hard to find stylish and modest skirts these days, which is frustrating, but i've noticed the past few years that modest clothing hasn't been as hard to find in some stores. especially summer clothes like shorts (the HARDEST to find longer shorts, i'm not the booty shorts kind of girl)
check out the pop of color too! when i shop, i'm drawn to earthy tones. it's hard for me to get out of that mind set, but i'm making an effort in finding pops of color to add to my wardrobe. can spring come sooner please? i just can't wait any longer for warm weather!

last night was seriously so fun! the four of us (me +kev, my sister and her friend) had a Disney monopoly night. we listened to pandora radio disney songs, singing each of them at the top of our lungs and having flashbacks of when we were kids. we made some delicious no bake cookies. holy heavens they are the best, but i had wayyy too much sugar for one night. going to bed i felt like i was in a food coma! it reminded me of the movie, cloudy with a chance of meatballs where the little boy goes into a "food coma" and they crack celery i front of him to wake him up. surprisingly, i woke up hungry this morning.
i love all of these disney characters! we were cracking up during the game about everyone being sent to jail. peter was the first to go with the creepy man behind the bars...
