My sweet friend Megan from Honey We’re Home tagged me with the 5 Things I Can’t Live Without! I am more than happy to play along. Here is a look at the five things that I must have pretty much daily. I am not sure where I would be without them. 1. My Morning Coffee: I love waking up in the morning to a quiet house and making a piping hot pot of coffee. I drink Starbucks Breakfast Blend. With a sprinkle of cinnamon I am one happy mama. Once my polka dot mug is in my hand, I check in on my favorite blogs and enjoy some peace and quiet before the day really begins. 2. Phone Chats With Friends I have to laugh a bit at this one as I am really not a huge phone person. Most people that know me, know that. But I don’t know where I would be without the daily chats with some of my dear friends. It might just be a minute or two, and it might be because I am a stay at home mommy, but I so look forward to a few minutes of “girl time!” 3. Fresh Flowers: I absolutely love fresh flowers in the house. Lately, I have been picking up some Gerber daises to have around. It only takes a couple of fresh flowers to change the whole feel of a space. I would much rather give up other things that might be frivolous treats if it means having some pretty flowers around me. 4. Soft and Fluffy Bathrobe: Pine Cone Hill Robe I LOVE my Pine Cone Hill Robe. While it might not be my husband’s first choice, this beauty can’t be beat for after the shower. I will never ever buy a different robe. Scrumptious. 5. Spending Time With These Guys: {jylare ann} Not sure what to say other than I am head over heels in love with this group. My hubby and kiddos make life beautiful and I am more than grateful. Not to mention how much they make me laugh every single day. I simply can’t live without them. So there you have it. Michelle, you’re it!

What a fabulous transformation! I *LOVE* that pillow you made! It makes me want to pluck up some courage and learn how to sew a pillow…(c:

Hi. I'm a stylist in LA and I'm totally obsessed with your blog. I'd love if you visited my new blog for multiple posts a day on all things fashion. I just moved to California after graduating back in south with a degree in visual merchandiser. In attempt to get my heel in the door, I've launched a site all about celebrity fashion and the trends that create it. Check out what Brad, Rachel Zoe's former associate shared with me and find out my latest trend report. I'd love the support. I'm following you, I hope you'll do the same. Thanks so much.
