One of my favorite things to come across when I'm pinning is beautiful photos. Some days all I need is to see something that I find visually appeasing to brighten my day up a bit. I normally pin these photos to my board and then whomever follows me gets to see them but some of them are so beautiful that I wish more people could see them. Which is why I've decided every now and then I've decided to start sharing them on here. Maybe they will even brighten up your day as well :)

Like most these days, I'm addicted to Pinterest. I've heard people complain that they don't like Pinterest because it makes them feel bad about their life or their belongings or it sometimes makes people want more than they can afford, etc. Pinterest has been extremely helpful in my everyday life. Not only is it the perfect place to find a quote that you may relate to but it's the perfect source for recipe and beverage ideas. It's also helped my creativity. It's given me ideas that have led to other creative outlets for myself. Creativity is something that is extremely important to me. I need it to function like food or water (& sometimes that much needed glass of wine). Pinterest is also a home to some of the most beautiful images I have ever seen. Sometimes I like to clock out of the real world and get lost in the beauty of images. Today I'm going to share with you a few of my favorite finds on Pinterest. annnnd now for this: if you're a fellow pinner, please follow me on Pinterest! It's always exciting to see what other people are pinning :)

happy pinning

I'm a very visual person. Nothing makes me happier than finding pretty images. Before the days of pinterest my old toshiba was filled with random file folders filled with beautiful photos and word documents filled with quotes. Here are some recent finds that I had to share. Hope you all are enjoying your Thursday. It's almost the weekend! xoxo

Inspiration: Words

Sometimes you need a dose of inspiration. I find quotes helpful in this department. Above are some of my favorite I found via pinterest. Maybe you'll love them too :) 

Home Inspiration

I love the porch, the little yard and the fence.  

Love the inspiration board.  

I like how different this is compared to most babies rooms. 

cozy.  

Great set up for records/record player.  

I like the rustic nursery look. Not a big fan of the rug or the wooden barn door behind the crib (makes me nervous). 

I love the rustic dining room table w/mismatched chairs.  

Sweet vintage/rustic kitchen 

Cozy/Rustic kiddy room 

I'm currently still searching for the perfect apartment to move into before the little dude comes. I love browsing pinterest to get ideas on how to decorate my new space. Of course it's hard to come up with a decor before you find a place, but you can still get ideas. Above are a few of my favorite ideas. Keep your fingers crossed I find a place soon. This momma bird needs to nest!

If I could afford to go anywhere right now...

I'd go to.....

South Africa - because I've always wanted to go

The Grand Canyon - cause I have still never been and I was born in Arizona

I have no idea where this is but I want to go!

The Smoky Mountains

This cloudy and cold weather is really putting a depressing mood on my summer. I wish I could snap myself out of it. Literally.. I wish someone could slap it out of me. Remember being a kid and looking forward to summer? My summers were filled with trips the beach, to the pool, road trips, mini vacations, etc. As much as I love going back east to visit family, it's not the same as a vacation. I went to Montana the summer of '09. We only went for a few days and it was heaven. There was lots of days spent out on the boat, cooking out and drinking Jim beam and coke in a can. Yes, Jim Beam and coke in a can.. can we say amazing? I have a long list of things that I need to do ASAP. Like finding a new apartment, buying furniture for the apartment, etc. My mom and her fiance are coming out in two weeks. I think their relaxing vacation will turn into "Move me into an apartment and lets find stuff for it ASAP!". I still need a vacation. I need to use that free round trip ticket I won from Jet Blue. I need to go somewhere and be able to relax for just a minute. I'm sure once October rolls around I will never be able to relax another day in my life. Too bad Jet Blue doesn't fly into Memphis, Nashville or Roanoke. I have friends and family I'd love to visit. Well there's always Austin. Anyone down for a trip to Austin?
