Character Carvings

Ariel || Donald Duck || Kermit the Frog || Tinker Bell

Still planning on carving a pumpkin this year? Check out these adorable character carving ideas from Spoonful.

I won't get the chance to carve a pumpkin this year but I'll definitely be saving the Tinker Bell template for next year.

I am also loving Sulley and Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. There are tons, so make sure to check them out!

MGMT || Electric Feel

Hands down Electric Feel by MGMT is one of my favorite songs.

And then while watching The Voice I saw this performance by Preston Pohl. 

His voice is amazing, a gritty Michael Bolton if you will [let me know if you agree!]. 

And now I can't decide who does it better! But really, it doesn't matter because they can both be my favorite!

Well friends, it's safe to say that life got in the way last week and had other plans for me.  It wasn't any thing too serious but I have been resting up and working on getting back to 100%. A huge thank you to my parents for taking care of me. 

And I promise to be a better blogger now that I'm back, I've missed you all dearly!

Since I've been away for so long I'd thought I'd share a little of what's been going on around here lately.

It's the Weekend!

Hey Friends, remember me?
Sorry for the silence this past week. Being away this long was definitely not in the plan but turns out I have been a little busy because MY BROTHER GETS MARRIED TOMORROW! Can you tell I'm excited? I have two older brothers and Cory will be the first so this is a very exciting time for him, myself and my whole family. Having two old brothers meant I'd eventually get a sister and finally, tomorrow is the day! Sara is seriously the cutest and coolest girl and she loves my brother like crazy [and man does he love her] which is the most important thing I could ask for.

So I'm off to celebrate a little love!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

And a HUGE happy birthday to my other brother, Nick!
[love you!]
