raindrops on roses are not one of my favorite things - in fact, I wish it would please STOP raining here in the 'shire.... but I do love whiskers on Ollie and brown paper packages tied up in string... anyways, here are a few of MY favorite things.. for this week anyways...

The Good Wife. Seriously. Best TV Drama. EVER. I just finished the first season on Netflix and am so excited to watch the next two episodes on cbs.com

my new favorite workout - which resulted in losing the abilty to walk [don't worry, I got it back]

being healthy is my NOT favorite. however, my husband wants to torture me and turn in me into a hanus bitch us to stop eating sugar... just in time for me to find this amazing recipe and seriously nutella cookies - FEED ME SUGAR... that's my real favorite. maybe I'll drop sugar except for five days two days one day a week.

someone has found a new "favorite" place in the house...

which of course is mommy's favorite spot too which results in lots of shoving...

visitors are my favorite - so excited for my OABFFFL and MOH Lindi-Lou to be here in 23 sleeps!

jeggings are my NEW favorite... I love this super cute pair of Lucky Jeggings that I got from Macys - of course, they're sold out but I'm sure you can find a pair just as cute.

sweater uggs. you're really not that cute but you are SO comfortable so you're my favorite too.

travelling is my favorite - super to go to NYC in a few weeks, Boston next month and then last but not least Wilmington to celebrate Sarah's 30th!! ALL with my amazing husband.

what are some of YOUR favorites this week?

xo.

beach please. {black & white wednesday}

on a gloomy rainy day like today I'd do anything to be on a beach in Mexico with my love...

a girl can dream...

check out more of this weeks black and white photography here...

dog-stache...

this could quite possibly be the best dog toy [aka puppy parent entertainment] EVER...

I have a feeling Oliver will be getting this as a gift very soon...

(as in I'm about to order it for him...)

also, how cute is the bullie in the picture?!

can't wait to see Ollie playing with his humunga stache!

pug head tilt...

I'm clearly a bulldog lover through and through

[and don't get me started on labradoodles - I WANT].

But these pug videos are freaking hilarious...

Oliver does the head tilt too, but not like this...

...enjoy!

last but not least... yes - that's a pug in the toilet...

Breast Cancer Awareness has been a huge part of my life for a long time, I've had many friends (and their families) impacted by breast cancer and my sorority's national philanthropy is the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and breast cancer awareness... so it's something I've been working with for the past almost decade.

Here are some breast cancer resources/links for you as we start this month, I'll be sharing more as we go but here's just a start...

-beauty for the cause [what better excuse to buy beauty supplies]

-kiss for the cause [who needs an excuse to buy new lipgloss?]

-"save lids to save lives" [info about collecting yoplait lids ]

-click to give [free mammograms!]

-pink hair extensions for breast cancer awareness [my staff and I did this last year, super fun and for a great cause!]

...and always, more to come!
