Hello blog community.
Happy Sunday to ya!

Sunday’s are never ever long enough for my liking…

but I’ll just have to make cupcakes and lemonade on another day.

Just a tiny bit excited for a normal week.. non holiday related.. and to get back on my ‘house cleaning’ schedule.
plus i bought a mop today.
cant wait to mop my floors!

I’ve learned how to make myself do things i dont like to do…
i just have to buy something new or cute to inspire myself.
(ie being excited about mopping) or excited to do laundry with a new smelling detergent… or to wash my hands anytime i walk by the guest bathroom.. bc the new soap in there is delish!!!
Same with waking up early..
if i have some new coffee.. or creamer.. or even a new bowl to put cereal in… i jump out of bed in the mornings…
(maybe im exaggerating about the whole jumping part… but you get the picture)

This sunday consisted of Church, a birthday party with friends and enchiladas! blowing bubbles with luke…. and a trip to bed bath and beyond… (got the mop and a cute rug to cover up New Years eve stains on our carpet
hate to say i was lazy and made hamburger helper for husband & friend but now its football time for the boy(s) and im going to curl up in bed and watch netflix til my bed time

Luke was in Costa Rica for 1 whole week!!!
my lip spent the majority of that week.. puckered out..:

When i wasnt being a baby about missing my baby…
i made use of my time by finally hanging things up in our house..
trying to make it a home

Luke came home Late Wednesday… and we spent the whole day together on Thursday!

it was good.

FOOD:

Tonight i was craving Quiche. .. which still surprises me sometimes… i hated quiche with all of my might as a child.. and around the age of 15 it became one of my favorite foods.
Weird.

PLUS ive been dying to use my new quiche dish from Crate and Barrel… so … Trash-Can Quiche was for din.

i dont think ive ever made quiche… ive probably assisted my mom before.. but this was a first time.. solo…
i kindof just threw stuff in there.. (hints the name trashcan-quiche)

Poured some milk
Poured some half/half
wads of cheese… veggies… salsa.. more cheese… s&p… nutmeg.. Eggs of course..
Fit perfect!
and was tastey!

friends/bridesmaids/bride at Amelie’s

This morning luke made breakfast… (one eyed jacks with baby sausages!)
He also packed my lunch.. which included.. pb sandwich, chips, organic fruitchew, can of nuts, bag of oatmeal, and a lemonade! hahah all stuffed into a victoria’s secret bag. hahah

what a sweetheart.

::ETSY’s::

so here are 2 more etsy’s to add to the list of loves:

love this! they are all sold seperately.. but loved the colection of them around her neck! i’d wear them like this..

(The black spot books)

And this!

(cantileverpress)

I’m having luke build us one of those! so cool!

Anyways.. hope this week is filled with inspiration and encouragement..
for us all!

Happy thanksgiving!

from our corner in Charlotte!

November.

Charis Hill — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:39:54 +0000

Hard to accept that it is November … ALREADYYY?!!!

October is my all time favorite month… then november.. (then april…if i continue the list ) and thats because i love anticipating things.. and i love fall!!!!!
Seasonal things tend to make me nostalgic.. and creative.. and inspired.. (clothes.. cooking… decorating..)

Sunday Jessica and I slept real late… made lunch and watched movies on my couch.
Then we went to soak in all the fall we could..
our street.. is gorg. the view to the city is awesome.. and the colors are breath taking (visit Luke’s blog for lots of fall inspired photos

Some of our good friends just got engaged this past week in Hawaii!!!
We love Joel and Raechel and are so excited for this love….

For some reason we have an excessive amount of Potatoes in our house right now…
our kitchen table centerpiece is actually a huge bowl of potatoes…
so this afternoon i made Pepperjack & Mozzerella (bc it was the only kind of cheese i had hah) stuffed potatoes skins!!!
They were delish! and definately worth doing again.. and adding fun different things! like veggies.. etc.

The insides were basically just like mashed potatoes.. i just added a bit of brown sugar and nutmeg for interest, cream, s&p and the cheeses!

Im still trying to work on making my food pretty.. but believe me.. they were tasty!

Okay.. Here is another corner in our Home..

Luke’s new desk!
He is actually really proud of this thing.. and the other day filled all the drawers.. putting his laptop in the top drawer…
Later that day he was going crazy.. thinking he lost his laptop.
hah
boys.

He found this baby back stage at church.. and you know what He says..
“ask and you shall receive”

voila!

well… this day has turned out lovely..
tried hanging up all the clothes that have been collecting at the foot of our bed..
but somehow.. no matter how many times i buy them… i NEVER have enough hangers..

oh well..

Enjoy this season!
Wherever you are!
i feel like its going to be a good one!
