1.) Our new drop-leaf dining table from Ikea. This was the best purchase in a long time. It’s the perfect solution for our small living room! 2.) This is a supercute Merona Woman’s Wrap Dress I saw at Target. I didn’t buy it, but I might have to go back....

Remember my little New Year’s adventure story from last weekend? Here’s the background story. I hadn’t been on a horse since I was 15, or so. You know, when I was younger, of course I had the whole phase where I loved horses (I still do, mind you!), as all...

Aimee over at greeblemonkey.com holds a montly photo contest and I decided to participate! The contests usually don’t have a theme, but seeing as Thanksgiving *is* Aimee’s most favorite holiday in the whole wide world, she thought having the idea of “Grateful” in this month’s entries would be kinda cool.
