Between the snow after the holidays + my insistance on trying to keep my life as calm as possible during the weeks before the spring semester begins and I head back to teaching...well, I've been spending alot of time at home. The clutter has dissolved little by little as we take down the Christmas decorations + I feel I am suddenly able to really appreciate some of the new {+ old} this's + that's I have about my home. So much so, in fact, that I decided to share them under: My Favorite Things...
I was shopping at the Anthro with a new pal 'o mine before Christmas when I picked up this little ceramic cup, bowl + plate set for baby Liamb. I didn't even realize just how much I loved it until I got it home! Seriously, look at that little bunny tush! 
As many of us mama's do, I tend to try to stretch a dollar by making smart purchases. Whether it is a better quality Target item for cheap, or a {less frequent, I must say} splurge on something from a better store, I find that being smart + "creatively financing" my need {yes, need} for beautiful things makes me really appreciate what I have just that much more. Many friends have complimented me at various times, on my home or on the clothing items I buy + while I am flattered, I always reveal to them that there is no real secret, I am just very selective about what I spend my money on: it has to be just fabulous!

This section is not about emphasizing my materialism, but rather, it is about taking the time to look around + be reminded of the lovely things I do have. The things that make one's style unique + one's house a home. I find this is a very nice. positive mental space to live in! When I post under this section, I will add a Linky {a fabulous blog I read had this for New Years...Loved it!} Won't you share some of your favorite things as well?
Have a wonderful weekend friends!
xo.
