Hello, my name is Summer and I am a Pin-a-holic.  Aren't we all though?  I spend way too many hours each week pinning projects, recipes, and clothing that I will probably never make or buy.  I have recently stumbled upon some doable projects that I hope to tackle in the coming weeks.  

I think this would be so cute in my kitchen and a perfect ode to the woman herself, Julia Child.

Spring is just around the corner, kind of feels like it already.  

This wreath is absolutely precious and screams spring!

Valentine's Day is around the corner and who wouldn't love to take a bit into these delicious little hearts.  They are surprisingly easier than they look!

Perfect for a rolo-loving sweetheart!  "Your The Bomb" sends the perfect message to your Valentine!

An outdoor Scrabble board! OMG!  Enough said!

Have y'all made any amazing Pinterest Projects lately?

Happy Holidays

Woohoo!  The holiday season is officially in full swing.  Thanksgiving is only days away and Christmas is right around the corner.  This is the time of the year that I hope things slow down, way down.  I absolutely love every aspect of the holidays and I want to hold on to them for as long as possible.

We actually jumped the gun and decorated our Christmas tree this weekend. {pictures to come}  It was so lovely to drink hot chocolate, pig out on red velvet cheesecake, and watch White Christmas while decorating our tree.  

Cheesecake Factory Red Velvet Cheesecake YUM!!

One of our favorite ornaments :)

The best part of decorating the tree was actually the discussion on where to put the tree.  Daniel and I had never really had any options as to where to put our tree before so this year was a challenge.  And of course in true married fashion we disagreed on where to put it.  It all culminated into a profound statement fron Daniel.  He said, " Well it makes sense geographically to put it where you want it, but it makes more sense sentimentally to put it where I want it."  HAHA!  He has a way with words.  Needless to say, sentiment won out and so did Daniel.  But to be honest I love its placement.

Once we get all our decorations up, I will be back with a Christmas post.  Happy Monday guys and don't forget about Traveling Tuesday tomorrow!  Link up in the comment section below with your post on your favorite travels!

did i mention food?

well, these are a few of my favorite things!

i am so pumped that christmas is only a mere 42 days away.  so now its time to starting thinking about the pennington's first christmas and our apartment decorations.

our apartments pretty tiny, so i am thinking i am going to go on the non-traditional route with a smaller tree this year.  my mom has this awesome skinny christmas tree she is letting us borrow and i think its going to be perfect.  it looks something like this (p.s. no real trees for us, it makes mr. pennington all stuffy)

i'm thinking a beautiful tree skirt will spiff it up nicely!

today i must journey out to find some beautiful decorations.  i have some that i bought last year at hallmark at the end of the year, but it don't think that is going to cover the tree!  i'm kind of indecisive about themed trees versus traditional trees... i think i'll go traditional this year though.

i'm loving these stockings!

so what are your thoughts?  are you gearing up for christmas yet?

pictures to come once things are up and looking awesome!
