Every Friday I link up with Jeanette and Lauren for my week in review. Yesterday, I posted pix as well. You can check them out here. I have had a lovely week. Busy as usual. I hit up Minneapolis for a girls night out, went to graduation parties, worked, had youth group and did the normal mamahood routine. It has been a good week for the fam! 

I got the chance to go stay in the cities for a night with two of my girlfriends. It was my first time away since having Kiyah. I enjoyed myself but was excited to get home to my fam. We hit up Mall of America and ran into my old youth girl (far right/Josie). She works at Urban Outfitters. While there, I was inspired for my studio wall. I am wanting to do something fresh! 

My inspiration.

After I got home, I couldn't wait for Kiyah to wake up from her nap. She is sooooo cute!

baby feet and my tribal shoes for youth group! 

 Zion is so full of personality!  She lives outside right now. I can't get over her bed head every morning.

pool day with my z pies.

My friend gave me some hostas and peonies. I have big plans for "someday" for landscaping. So it was a huge blessing for her to share some perennials for our yard.

  

Above is the before. We planted the lilac tree last year by the studio. 

We put in 5 hosta plants around it with rock. It is a start. I like how it is looking........amazing the difference it made.

 

Above it the before. We planted 5 peonies and cleared out weeds. Andy and I are wanting this to be flowers/plants over time. I love the flowers next to the woods. It is so beautiful. 

After pulling weeds and planting flowers.

My garden art from my parents!

I love my deck that Andy built last summer and our backyard. Blessed. 

Last night, I hosted a Stella & Dot trunk show. It was a great excuse to clean my house, have yummy food and see my girlfriends. Check out their jewelry! My fav! 

I spray painted my fruit stand gold. I officially jumped on the gold bandwagon. It is all the rage in decor. I love it. I have few other projects up my sleeve that I will share with you next week. 

I think it turned out fun. Easy change.

Do you have any fun projects brewing? 

Any fun summer plans? 

Happy Friday! Thanks for stopping by

Our youth group does Summer Tribal Warfare every summer. Think Survivor! with 100 teens. It is a blast! My team is Argon- I got together with Noelle (nanny/youth girl) and we created some shoes yesterday for the opening ceremonies. We mean biz!

We took some white canvas shoes and used fabric markers by Crayloa to modify them with the tribal motif. 

mine! 

Noelle's are above. Aren't they cute?

Kiyah is a week shy of being 10 months. She still isn't crawling. She is sooo close! She loves clapping. waving. rocking in crawling position. She says, "mama-mama" all the time now! Love her

Amanda and I are on Argon together. We are representing Forever 21. Wear it proud.

I look scary. crazy. and out of control. So fun though.

Zion loves being on our team! She was so excited to the events.

My pal, Sarah, brought her girls to hang out during youth. They were soooo cute!

I had to capture daddy and Zakiyah this morning. Two things to note:  yes she wore the outfit to bed.....didn't get home until 10. Second, snot dripping......bummer. Still cute though.

Happy Thursday.
