i'm lovin' it!

Here's what I've been lovin' lately!

1. Martha
I have a love-hate relationship with Martha, but sometimes she really does have the best ideas!  Or should I say her magazines have the best ideas?!  This is a page from my Everyday Food Magazine this month. 
Genius!


So I decided to give it a try, patriotic style!  I froze some Cran-Raspberry Juice in my star ice trays...

and added it to my favorite beverage! 


Oh Say Can You See!!!

A vodka tonic with a splash of cran-raspberry...don't mind if I do!

2. My *Shey* [B] Camera Strap
I know I've never posted a picture of my camera, because how would I take the picture...ha! But I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my camera strap from *Shey* [B]!! I've had it for over a year now and I can't tell you how much I love it!  It's great for so many reasons!  It has padding so it doesn't rub my neck and it's like a bag tag because no one will mistake my camera for theirs!  My friend Liz has the same camera that I do but she has a different strap so we never get our cameras mixed up.  And the best reason...it's so darn CUTE!!! 
You can get yours HERE!
This is the strap that I have...LOVE IT!


3. Addi's New Catch-All Basket
After Addi goes to sleep and the house is finally quiet, I usually pick up the rimnents of the day and the trails she's left throughout the house.  I would always stack everything on the dining room table and sometimes the stack would stay there for a day or two and multiply because in the morning rat-race I would forget to put it all away.  I was at Michael's a few weeks ago and randomly saw this basket misplaced on an isle with paints.  It hit me that it would be perfect for all of Addi's treasures that I find after she goes to bed. 
Viola!
Works like a charm!  And since it's right by her room, I remember to put everything away when I go in to get her out of bed in the mornings!

4. Orange Leaf
Do you have an Orange Leaf where you live?  If not, I'm sorry.  It's wonderful!  My favorite is coffee with caramel on top and chocolate sprinkles!!! It's yummy. 


5. OPI California Raspberry
I went with my friend Suzanne to get pedicures the other night and I chose this color randomly.  I LOVE it!  It's so summery and bright!  I must buy my own bottle and very soon!!


What have you been lovin' lately??

ok, i just really love this list! chad got me a new camera, and i've been looking for a cute strap, so i'm excited to try your site out. also, chad just started working for orange leaf, so i of course, LOVE it, and it gives me an excuse to visit there often--and it helps that it is a lot healthier than ice cream. :)

Love the basket idea! When I clean our first floor each evening, I usually accumulate a little pile of ALexandra's things on the bottom step to be taken upstairs, so you know I think this is a fantastic idea.

Um, I think you need to email me - I'm intrigued after reading your comment on my post today!
