Decorating and new recipes!

Happy Thursday!

I hope y'all have had a good week so far! I only had to work half days Wednesday and Thursday because our doctors are at a conference! So that made me really happy :).
Mitch is at work today, so I have been home playing with Bella! Yesterday was so hot, we reached record breaking temps! I left My phone in my car for just a little bit and got in my car and it had a yellow message flashing saying temperature warning my phone is too hot and needs to cool down before I could use it. I leave my phone in the car all the time and this was only for a few minutes! Crazy weather!

But all that to say that it feels wonderful today! Earlier it was 85, and now of course its back over 100. I can't believe 85 degrees felt so cool ha!

I feel like I don't get to post much anymore because I am either to tired or occupied with Bella.. So here is a little update on out week..

Last weekend we had a lot of fun! Friday Mitch had to work, so I spend the day with this girl....

We relaxed at home, watched movies and baked! She was so good all day and it made my Saturday so much more fun since mitch was gone all day!

Saturday Mitch and I were both off and we got a lot of stuff done around the house. I have been in the mood to find more decorations for out house ha! So mitch took me shopping and here are some updated pics and some of the stuff I found!

My new table setting!

Here is an up close picture of the napkins. They are reversible and I just thought they were so cute!

I got these flowers from Hobby Lobby, and arranged them into this vase. The only thing I am lacking is a cream color ribbon to tie a bow around the top skinny part of the vase! 

 Here is just some cute decor I found.. I thought it went well with my theme and I always love finding new decorations for my tables! 

And I just LOVE this frame! If you know me at all, I am obsessed with taking pictures, and I have pictures all over our house. I came across this frame and just had to get it. It goes perfect with my living room!

I haven't really shopped at gordmans much before I moved here, but over the past year I have come to love it!! They have such wonderful home decor at great prices. I pretty much get everything there- along with hobby lobby and Kirklands :)
I am also making a photo collage on my wall in the kitchen and so I am collecting all different size black frames with one red one to stand out! 

I only have these so far, but hope to get all the frames by when we get back from our cruise! I will have lots of new pics use! I am wanting some more antique looking ones to add some diversity to the collage. Our farmers market always has a cute booth with all this antique/old looking frames, mirrors, etc! I am excited to go this Saturday!! Also,I have been meaning to post this for a while now, my wedding photographer now sells organic bloom frames and they are amazing!! If you click here, then enter the site and click on organic bloom frames, it will take you to them. I am in LOVE! My mom bought some and put some of our wedding pictures and one of my bridal portraits in them and they look awesome!!! I am trying to decide what ones I want- that is def going to be my next purchase! You could say I'm obsessed :) I always look around for frames like this and ever since I found out she sells them I have been so excited!! 

That evening Natalie came into town, I always love when we have visitors! We just hung out that night and look what Natalie got for Bella!!

OSU collar, leash, name tag!

So cute!? I have been looking for OSU stuff for Bella so I was excited!

Sunday, my parents came into town and spent the day with us! They were excited to meet Bella!
We ordered in gusanos pizza and Natalie and I made dessert!
Later that afternoon, yes we did more shopping! Mom bought me this cute dog stuff...

This week, I have been in the mood to cook.. A LOT! I love cooking and feel like i haven't been able to make dinners like i use to. So I sent Mitch to the grocery store and here is what we have had...
