On top of that I felt that it was totally worth mentioning that I've been "hanging" with some major hotness lately...<br />
<br />
First off... I watched David Beckham play soccer...with my own two eyes, three rows from the field, last weekend. I DIE. I have been OBSESSED with this man and his wife for the last 10 plus years. I legit wanted to bring his Autobiography with me in the hopes it would be signed. Oh well... photographic evidence will have to do. Sadly for you I am too lazy to upload and filter through the 245983479587 photos at this moment so... until then this will have to suffice.<br />

We took full advantage of every sun drenched moment and spent practically the entire weekend outdoors. We made very few plans and just about everything we did was impromptu which was just the perfect way to wind down after a very busy few weeks. Nothing quite as lovely as a quiet weekend at home.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7HknadQ7-R517Bnq-L1JTZUnhkcTFYscNliTU6RbIXz89kM3nfLBZ2O6IWn4U6LTUR5YuzaPpl1XxK_88bCXrnNT-xB6v_HyQ-mapxZNDvIOqZwAYpPr4fHHuRhgV1wv7m9aONNpOcg8/s1600/IMG_1532.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7HknadQ7-R517Bnq-L1JTZUnhkcTFYscNliTU6RbIXz89kM3nfLBZ2O6IWn4U6LTUR5YuzaPpl1XxK_88bCXrnNT-xB6v_HyQ-mapxZNDvIOqZwAYpPr4fHHuRhgV1wv7m9aONNpOcg8/s400/IMG_1532.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5753190327501144722" border="0" /></a>Unexpected date night on Friday.

I'm here on my little green soapbox today to share a few things I've learned in just the past week that I deem worth talking about. I've talked about our/my attempt at living a more sustainable lifestyle before and I'm here with what is more or less the third phase in this ever evolving and growing passion of mine. If you're interested I've talked about eating organic <a href="http://shortandsweetmissv.blogspot.com/2012/04/living-green.html">here</a> and <a href="http://shortandsweetmissv.blogspot.com/2012/01/list.html">here</a> as well as cleaning our home with green eco friendly products with my <a href="http://shortandsweetmissv.blogspot.com/2012/04/living-green.html">Living Green</a> post. <br />
<br />
<br />
Perched on the couch Tuesday night happy as a clam I watched a little show called "Pregnant in Heels" (obsessed ha!) and one of the mommy to be's wanted to provide a home that was as "green" as possible for her little one on the way. She ended up being really defensive when she realized she wasn't nearly as eco savvy as she thought and then they started dumping her cosmetics, skincare, and bath and body creams into the bin and she had had about enough. I kind of laughed because she was a bit of a drama queen and then I realized I've never thought twice about what's actually in those items. As long as it looked pretty, smelled good and claimed to work wonders I was sold. Keep in mind your skin is your LARGEST organ and I pretty much slather mine in a bajillion products a day.<br />
<br />
I've done some reading mostly in part to this site:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/">http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/</a><br />
<br />
and made the conscious decision to completely overhaul our day to day skincare routine.<br />
<br />
Which consisted of me yelling at Mr. Jones from under the bathroom sink "just so you know I'm throwing out everything in the bathroom so I hope you brushed your teeth today and don't get mad this is for your own good."<br />
<br />
It ended like this:<br />

I'm sure it pales in comparison to some (and this is minus my makeup bag) but that's a lot of stuff, some of it brand new, and holy moses that's a lot of sunscreen. I guess we're kind of Hawaiin Tropic hoarders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Needless to say I've spent the last 48 hours researching just about every skincare item we have including shower gels and soaps, shampoos and my makeup all of which are missing from this photo. What I've learned is beyond disturbing. While I am aware that all of these items clearly passed some sort of safety test... they are on the shelves of the drugstore.. I've also learned that they are jam packed with harsh, harmful unnecessary chemicals that over time can cause serious cell damage which then lead to potentially deadly disease. It's no secret that the chemicals and additives found in most processed foods are killing us, and it really is very much the same with beauty products. There was lead and arsenic in my blush...like for real??? Do they know how many times I re-apply? I don't do blush in small doses.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not here to read off every disturbing fact. I've provided the link above so that if you so wish you can see what's in your beauty regime. It's hard to throw away money like that, but to be honest so much of it has been accumulating dust under the sink... so I decided to only re-stock the every day basics...</div>

Daily lotions... EO whole body, TJ'S facial and LUSH lotion bar..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still on the hunt for whole body sunscreen that does not cost an arm and a leg.. so far Aveeno is winning for price and lowest toxicity levels. I will say stay away from anything with oxybenzone. TJ's carries two kinds of sunscreen and this one for the face is the safest.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Bath.. These are all of my body washes. (2 of which I already had) I put some of the Dr. Bronners into that little travel bottle for the shower. The peppermint scent is incredibly invigorating you can use it on face, body and hair! I also used it as my laundry detergent today. Literally you can use it for ANYTHING. For $10 and a million uses it's totally worth it in my book. Mr. Jones lucked out kind of in that he only uses Irish Spring. While it's not great it does score pretty low with a 3 out of 10 toxicity so I said he could keep it ;)</div>

Here is our hygiene routine.. Toms toothpaste, the peppermint is amaze, TJ's French Liquid hand soap, smells like heaven and has only a few ingredients. Just like food less is more when it comes to ingredients;) And the Alba all natural tea tree oil deodorant.</div>

Beauty. Here's where it gets tricky for me. I indulged in this Zoya pink and top coat because ALL of my nail polish had formaldehyde in it. Gag. This has none as well as not having a long list of chemicals other nail polishes do have. For make up I'm stuck at the moment. I wear drug store brand. I don't even spend more than $12 on most of it and the name brand stuff it turns out is just as bad for you. The ones at Whole Foods are waaay out of my price range so.. the plan is to go into Walgreens and find the best of the bunch. I picked up this little Terra tint chapstick for $3.49 that I actually really liked so it's a start.</div>

Here's the new skincare routine in all its glory...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(luckily it's pretty gender neutral so we can both happily use just about all of it) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shampoo we use is already organic and earth/body friendly so it's not in the pile. At least that was one thing that didn't have to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I totally understand that this may seem a little extreme. However I am a girl on a budget and I was able to buy a completely new beauty routine thus far for under $100. Luckily some of the things we already have were good, and I've yet to buy the makeup but like I said I will not spend more than $12 on one item. So it is possible and in my opinion worth it. If I can do better, and the products are out there then why shouldn't I try my best to give my body and skin the best chance it has.</div>

I have so many things I'm loving right now but today I thought I would share some photos from the Napa bachelorette weekend that I was so lucky to be a part of ;) I'm a lucky lady to have girlfriends from college that are lifelong friends. What they said in rush was true... the sisters you have in your sorority will be the women standing next to you on your wedding day. (At least that's how they sold me ha!) Melissa was actually first a friend from the dorms and my very first real college friend. I will forever be thankful for all of the memories we've shared and the friendship that I have with her. This past weekend was just one more amazing memory that I'll forever cherish.<br />
<br />
Without further ado... I give you Melissa's fling before the ring!<br />

The first day was spent relaxing by the pool eating yummy foods and opening gifts! I have to pat myself on the back here for a second because I kind of loved my wine themed gift bags and it was fun to hand out presents before the lingerie shower and the bride gave us hostesses very nice gifts as well. The whole weekend was just one huge celebration this was the perfect way to set the tone!</div>

This one set the bar my friends. Unfortunately and fortunately I actually stopped taking pictures after we arrived back at the house. Which was probably a very good thing considering we were up until 2:30 am dancing, doing winetastic yoga poses, blaring music and just being the rowdy bunch of sorority girls that we are... some things never change do they?<br />
<br />
Wine is fine my friends. Hope you too have lots to love this week ;)<br />

Anyone there? I know there has been some serious blogging neglect around these parts and I do feel a little guilty because I certainly haven't stopped reading any of yours. I've just been a bit relaxed about keeping up appearances on my end. Most of the time writing.. ok blogging.. is a nice little therapeutic escape, it's fun to put words and thoughts to photos and memories or to hash out what's on my mind. Other times though it feels nice to not have to add "blog" to what seems like a never ending "to-do" list and and at the end of the day it seems to be the one thing that continuously gets pushed aside. Alas, here I am and happy to share a few little snapshots of life lately and what better day to get back into the swing of things than Wednesday! Just in time for <a href="http://littledaisymay.blogspot.com/">Jamies link up</a>!<br />
<br />
Here's a glimpse into some of the things that have been happening around here, all wondeful and lovely things that bring so much joy to my heart. For all of them I am thankful.<br />

So there it is a little of what I'm loving on this Wednesday. Off this weekend to Napa to celebrate a dear friends fling before the ring. I'm sure it will provide plenty to post about upon our return and probably a few things that won't show up here ;) Happy to be back on the blog. Wishing you all lots of lovely things as well.</div>

I had been waiting with excited anticipation for the sun to start showing up early enough for me to head out on morning runs...when I workout in the morning it's usually too dark so I do a dvd or head to the gym...but I have a pretty good feeling that runs will now be a part of the regular rotation. Pure bliss.<br />

Pretty fresh flowers in the house adding just the perfect pop of color to our otherwise neutral abode.<br />
I love these pretties soo much, the height is perfect the color is perfectly pink and they add a fun element to the color scheme. I'm now on the search for some really nice silk ones that I can use all year round ;)<br />

There is at least one school carnival happening each weekend until the middle of June! Ours happened to be a few weekends ago and it was so much fun cheering on my kiddos in their fun run, spending time with families and enjoying some sunshine and downtime with co-workers. I love teaching for so many reasons but the sense of community that comes with teaching has to be on the top of my list. It takes a lot of hard work between parents and teachers to provide events like this that bring everyone together to boost school spirit and I am so grateful to be a part of such an amazing school community with great families and educators.<br />
<br />
<br />
Spring is... all of these things and so much more.. spring is also quickly turning into summer! Only 4 weeks left until summer break! Per usual I am overwhelmed with decisions about what to do over the break... hoping to have everything decided by Monday!<br />
<br />
Hope your spring thus far has been filled with all kinds of lovely things.<br />
<br />

The fact that you can sleep in pretty much ensures that the weekend will be excellent in my book. However, some weekends really are just more awesome than others. This was one of those weekends. The kind that you'll think back to often and wish you could have more of. In my humble opinion a weekend that combines family and friend time is pretty much perfection. Throw in some sunshine, blue skies, cocktails, walks by the water, and lots of yummy meals out plus my roomie and her husband and this girl had it made.<br />

Thursday?I'm late on my favorite post! I've been completely consumed with worrying/planning for the next school year. If you're new here, I currently teach part time in 1st and 2nd grade, the other days I have been lucky enough to take care of some sweet babes, but my teaching heart really wants my very own classroom next year, and that's been the plan all along since getting my credential. It's been a crazy year and a half of subbing, then working part time, and now making all the plans, crossing all of my t's dotting all of my i's and doing everything in my power to ensure that I'll have a room of my own that's the best fit possible. So... having said that it's been hard to focus or really think about anything else lately since almost all of my efforts have been going towards that!<br />
<br />
Moving on... I still wanted to participate in <a href="http://littledaisymay.blogspot.com/">Jamies What I'm Loving Wednesday</a> because I have a few fun things I wanted to share!<br />

This sweet book. I heard about this little collection of real life love stories over at <a href="http://www.speckyandsally.com/">Specky & Sally</a> and I have to say.. I could not. put. it. down. Eventually I did though because I was turning into a blubbering mess and I'm pretty sure Mr. Jones needed a break ;) This is a sweet collection of stories transcribed from 40 minute "interviews" set up in a booth in Grand Central Station in NYC. They will have you laughing and crying and falling in love... with.. love. Mr. Jones and I read a few together on the couch, it was very romantic. That is until I was snot nosed and puffy from all the sweet tears ;)<br />

This movie... I mentioned last week that we were off to see The Five Year Engagement and I have to give a little recommendation! We saw that it was 5th in the box office on it's opening weekend and both of us were a little surprised. It's the perfect amount of funny and sweet, set in San Francisco partly which I loved and has an amazing soundtrack filled with Van Morrison covers. The story was silly and fun (LOVE Jason Segal and Chris Pratt) yet incredibly touching and real. You'll laugh a lot, and if you're like me probably cry quite a bit as well. Lovely little movie.<br />

Spring runs. With the weather being sunny and warm (ahhemm minus today) I've been trying to get plenty of outdoors time in. Whether it's heading out on a run or taking a stroll by the water with my love. Loved seeing all of these people lunching in the park yesterday on their lunch breaks! <br />

A few new additions to my closet! I have a few fun events coming up and had been wanting something new to wear. Because I am a die hard budget shopper I decided to see what Marshalls had and happily walked out with this pretty new tunic blouse for $12.99... excited for all of the possibilities. Love a good staple. <br />

I also wanted to point out that this necklace which is almost an exact copy of the coveted JCrew one I've been seeing on so many blogs, is from H&M and I'm pretty sure it was about $12. I LOVE it and pair it with everything. It has come unclasped twice but to repair it's only taken a pair of tweezers to close the chain. Personally I like it better than the JCrew version because it's a bit "chunkier".<br />

Mr. Jones surprised me yesterday with this new jacket! I was so excited because I had been on the hunt for some new outdoor workout gear. It did the job perfectly yesterday on my run and I know it will be in regular rotation. ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you too have lots to love this week! Crossing my fingers that I'll have some good classroom news to share this time next week! Feel free to send good vibes my way!<br />

I'm not going to "award" 15 bloggers as the "rules" suggest, because I would love anyone who comments to feel free to do this themselves!

Seven random facts... and trust me, my brain is mush... this will be very very random.<br />
<br />
1. I have serious OCD about things being "just so" if a towel is not hanging "just so" a pillow in my line of sight is not "just so" or the blinds are not perfectly aligned it gives me the heebie jeebies. (is that a word?) I literally don't feel relaxed. This only happens in my own house though... honestly if I'm at yours I could care less which way your towels hang :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPV90TQePB7ZvXcnH5fibPq2IGPkNvI4VEE_owvkNSIUcQYCC5NvPfnj98g9A9gKYqy9YMi5V0nvr-jf8gb4Zwp_qkWiOXqc8kGvnA88UIyua3sHd5qVJEIv5Udl9AyGimAmczQ3Wjmgc/s1600/7things1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPV90TQePB7ZvXcnH5fibPq2IGPkNvI4VEE_owvkNSIUcQYCC5NvPfnj98g9A9gKYqy9YMi5V0nvr-jf8gb4Zwp_qkWiOXqc8kGvnA88UIyua3sHd5qVJEIv5Udl9AyGimAmczQ3Wjmgc/s400/7things1" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This seriously made me laugh out loud. That's exactly what I'm talking about!</div>
<br />
2. I have spent countless hours scouring craigslist for stollers and highchairs and gliders. I'M NOT EVEN ENGAGED. I like to plan ahead ;) and I like a good deal. What can I say. I have also threatened on several occasions to pick said items up because of the bargain. You can only imagine how Mr. Jones feels about all of this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2hQi31kTH55J0a9gYNDB4Uw2LtdawiDzlI5N0KqfKsCbk7V0j4S7XJJnn-Fy8-vN-ay_1B3ePQmsRwst-rZGmKYXasqn-RxKOoq6mSfx9lpT4OOXGEXaMyW4iHP1HfmRTt4CUq-RC69w/s1600/7things2" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2hQi31kTH55J0a9gYNDB4Uw2LtdawiDzlI5N0KqfKsCbk7V0j4S7XJJnn-Fy8-vN-ay_1B3ePQmsRwst-rZGmKYXasqn-RxKOoq6mSfx9lpT4OOXGEXaMyW4iHP1HfmRTt4CUq-RC69w/s400/7things2" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My current crush the OXO high chair. Swoon. (serious issues over here I know)</div>
<br />
<br />
3. I shower at night. If I workout in the morning that means I take two showers. Working with kids all day just makes me want to take a shower at the end of the day. I'm constantly moving, cleaning, and touching all kinds of germs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcvcfMBw_3zEomETSYilGtXrSPZ6Qu2eQ7LtwW_gvycwhSH5myr85Gb0KvJthdi_ey2NXbx15sOpZBjiIzqRppUxFq_C6h3G9EC04LzHQsLx29pks4f61G_Sh5I8IEVGw2mhuWzoNEFYY/s1600/7things+3" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcvcfMBw_3zEomETSYilGtXrSPZ6Qu2eQ7LtwW_gvycwhSH5myr85Gb0KvJthdi_ey2NXbx15sOpZBjiIzqRppUxFq_C6h3G9EC04LzHQsLx29pks4f61G_Sh5I8IEVGw2mhuWzoNEFYY/s400/7things+3" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This looks heavenly! Yes please!</div>
<br />
<br />
4. I hate washing my hair. Detest it. I can take two showers a day happily, yet I kick and scream on "hair washing days".<br />
<br />
5. I watch Everybody Loves Raymond every night in bed before I fall asleep. I love that show and it makes me laugh out loud..for real.<br />
<br />
6. The only time I listen to "current" music these days is on my commute in my car or while I'm working out. At home I always play jazz, oldies, or whatever happens to pop up in my French Cafe on Pandora...ok and the Buble station... I guess that counts as "current" but it doesn't make me very "cool" HA ;)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We almost always listen to music while cooking, eating, and cleaning up which also leads into a little impromptu dancing. It may not be the coolest but a little bit of Miles Davis and some slow dancing in the kitchen sure is sweet.</div>
<br />
7. Having said that... we are going to see The Black Keys on Saturday with friends, which I'm really excited about but I do feel like a total mom these days when it comes to concert going. I swear I used to be really cool and do things like that all the time. Between <a href="http://www.kfog.com/">KFOG</a> and Mr. Jones to keep me up on good music, I'm trying my best to at least act like a cool kid ;)<br />

The truths being some not so nice facts about some food items that are causing us harm ;(. None of this is intended to be preachy, because we're all learning here, including myself but I will say that living a "greener' more organic lifestyle has been a work in progress for Mr. Jones and I ever since we moved in together. There is still a long way to go and a lot to learn but thanks to some informative reading we are continuing to change our habits and creating a home and a lifestyle that is more sustainable, better for the planet, and healthier for us.<br />
<br />
So let's start with a few of my fav's!<br />
<br />
Being a complete OCD cleaner/neat freak I thoroughly enjoyed <a href="http://veronabrit.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-i-clean-our-home-my-favorite.html">Veronica's</a> post about her cleaning routine! No joke I love cleaning day at my house ;)<br />

My newest favorite! <a href="http://www.jrwatkins.com/jrwatkins/index.cfm">JR Watkins</a>. Currently I have the lemon scent as my everyday counter top cleaner in the kitchen.

If you don't have <a href="http://www.daveskillerbread.com/">Daves Killer Bread</a> near you I would encourage you to look for breads/pastas etc. that are whole grain, and include things like flax, seeds, and as few ingredients as possible.</div>

We really like this <a href="http://www.barillaus.com/content/prodottobarilla/plus-spaghetti">pasta </a>as an alternative, while it's not 100% whole wheat it does contain all kinds of healthy vitamins, and it does not have that whole wheat chewy factor that I just can't get past ;( We eat pasta pretty regularly as we only eat meat once or twice a week so this is a great alternative. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another eye opening article on the food we eat was this little expose on Chick-Fil-A posted by <a href="http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2012/04/25/food-babe-investigates-why-chick-fil-a/">Food Babe via 100 Days of Real Food.</a> (another great read for healthy wholesome eating) Knowledge is power people. I'm really torn because I LOVE chick-fil-a and since we only eat it once a year when we are in the South I have a very good feeling it will be on our list of things to do..having said that I LOVE that she provided an <a href="http://foodbabe.com/2011/07/24/chick-fil-a-now-open-on-sunday/">alternative recipe </a>that will most likely be on our weekend menu sometime soon ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

And last but not least, I am LOVING some free reads I scored on the Kindle recently which have been great for opening my eyes to all kinds of things.<br />

I'm telling you we are really changing the way we view our food around here, we've stepped it up and gone almost 100% organic in our grocery shopping and are in the process of signing up for an organic produce delivery service.. we're leaning towards this one which allows you to customize what's in your order and the size of your order.</div>

Learning to eat with the "seasons" is something I am really excited about not only will it be great to support local business, but it's fresh and organic and will teach us to eat and cook with the vegetables and fruit that is seasonally available.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Phew!! That is a lot of info to take in but I am just so motivated right now to continue to change our habits for the better and share what I've learned with others! I hope you can take something positive away from all of this and even better if you have something to share with me I would LOVE to hear about it!! It's a team effort to change the way in which we live and love our world and ourselves.<br />

Well it's definitely Monday around here. Beginning with the fact that I forgot I was out of coffee...can you imagine? Pretty much any morning my only reason for getting out of bed is for that first delicious cup. From there it just was kind of... off. However not awful, just... a Monday. Moving on, let's discuss my last two weekends!! I have had some spectacular girl time over the last couple of weekends and as my fav Vicki Gunvalson would say, "My love tank is full!" Ha!<br />
<br />
This past weekend Mr. Jones was in SD at our Alma Mater for his annual alumni soccer game, so... I quickly filled my weekend with jam packed friend time and it was heavenly. Lucky for me my darling <a href="http://shortandsweetmissv.blogspot.com/2011/11/come-fly-away.html">Jules</a> planned an impromptu trip from Portland which made it all the better, and my dear <a href="http://shortandsweetmissv.blogspot.com/2012/02/what-im-loving-wednesday-walk-with-me.html">Cori</a> was in town from SD as well! I really took zero pictures this weekend, (gasp). I had misplaced my camera, and am not a huge fan of iphone pics, on top of that it was just such a relaxing weekend that forcing a photo shoot on everyone non stop just felt a bit invasive. So you'll just have to use your imagination, and this one Sangria photo I stole from Danes.. (winos)<br />

<br />
We spent Friday in the burbs at the Grindes drinking wine, munching on snacks and staying up waaay past our bedtimes just overdosing on girl chat. ;) Saturday morning we joined mama Kylie and little Ryland for brunch and then headed to the city to lounge in the sun all day by the pool. That evening Jules and Dana spent the night and we whipped up a Mexican fiesta, complete with homemade tortilla chips and Skinny Girl Sangria. YUM. Sunday I met up with Cori for lunch and the weekend ended with Mr. Jones home safe and sound cuddling on the couch. Phew... that was a lot.<br />
<br />
The weekend before the girls and I tried something new for a Girls Night Out event... I present to you.. <a href="http://www.wineandcanvas.com/">Wine and Canvas</a>! Ha! What could be better than girl time, creativity, and take home art? (oh and vino ;) We thouroughly enjoyed ourselves, although the three hour painting class could have been a tad shorter in my opinion, but overall a very fun and different way to get out on a Saturday night with the ladies!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Wednesday friends! It seems that coming back from Spring break has been a tad more of an adjustment than I had anticipated. I'm day three (almost over) into being back into a normal work week and I have been on the go go go!! I LOVE checking things off my list but I also had to "call it quits" at some point this evening so I could set aside time to unwind, thank goodness for RHOC on demand and the ridik antics of these ladies in the wilderness. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Speaking of nature...I am super excited for all of the fun Earth Day activities I have planned for my kiddos on Friday. We have some great books to dive into, </div>

We'll be painting pots and planting flowers!</div>
<br />
I plan on taking pics to share! One of the things we'll be talking about is how important it is to conserve/preserve our National Parks and Natural areas. Mr. Jones and I recently headed across the Golden Gate Bridge and spent the day taking in the beautiful scenery that surrounds us. We spent time in the Marin Headlands natural area as well as enjoying some scenic dining in Sausalito.<br />

The last day of school before spring break. We'll be doing a little spring cleaning in the classroom and then I'm treating my students (and let's be honest myself) to a little movie watching in the afternoon... and then.. I'm off to New York for some much needed family time. Hope all of you have lovely weekends wherever they take you. I'm leaving you with a few lovely vintage New York City images that make my heart flutter.<br />

Happy Wednesday friends! Maybe it's just me but this week seems to be moving at a super slow pace. It could be that I'm in countdown mode for my impending Spring Break!! (overly excited) With that said I can't really complain it's been a great day spent with friends, getting my hair done and then arriving home to a clean house and dinner in the oven...lucky me indeed. I wanted to share a few fun pictures from last weekend for memory sake. Perfection from beginning to end.<br />
<br />
Our weekend consisted of ice cream, stand up comedy, chick-fil-a and babies...just a few of my favorite things. I was in heaven all weekend long ;)<br />
<br />
Friday night was date night, which consisted of sushi, ice cream cones and watching two of our favorites, Ray Romano and Kevin James live...unbelievably funny and a date night that will be hard to beat. <br />

I am soo late to the game with these shows.... but they have become essential viewing just about every night. Mr. Jones was a real sweetie when he offered to get us tickets when I found out they would be in town!! I love Ray & Doug!! (Ray Romano & Kevin James)<br />
<br />
On Saturday we're headed to Sacramento for the night to visit our friends The Christophersens and their little sweetie Makena. This reunion has been long overdue and I cannot wait to catch up with these friends and just love on their little one!<br />

In between all of the early "April Showers" we've had a few lovely days like today where the sun is shining and I've got a little extra pep in my step. Sadly the rain is headed our way again and I fear we might be in for a very damp spring. Luckily, I have lots of little things to love that brighten even the dreariest of days.<br />

Sorry for the total lack of creativity in my title. I just can't be bothered. It is Monday after all and I've been on the go since 5:30am.<br />
<br />
So... if you couldn't guess this post is going to be about movies. (ha) We spent a good amount of time this weekend curled up under blankets on the couch and eating our fair share of Irish treats and we definitely took advantage of having a Friday evening and Saturday with nothing planned other than hanging out together. Heavenly. As soon as the sun broke through on Sunday though we were both out the door, Mr. Jones to his soccer game and me off to a girls day out with my darling friend Dana. In between the two days I saw three fantastic movies that I wanted to recommend!<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the inspiring and heart warming story of the puppeteer who is "Elmo". It's a wonderful story of following your dreams and doing what you are passionate about. Kevin, the puppeteer has accomplished so much in his life already and if you are at all or ever have been a fan of Sesame Street, The Muppets, Jim Henson, etc. you will love this story. I would also recommended it to teachers because it's a great message to send to our students about how being different and loving something that may not be "popular" like making puppets, is ok, and not only is it ok but it can lead to incredible places. Highly recommend this. Please check out the<a href="http://beingelmo.com/index.html"> link</a> for more info. <br />

The Oscar winning film Hugo. I have to be honest I had been intrigued by the trailers I had seen, visually it looked stunning, and then it took home so many awards, but I honestly was clueless about what the story was about. I am so glad we watched this. It's touching and sweet. It takes place in 1930's Paris which is a beautiful backdrop for the story of the young orphan boy Hugo who is desperately trying to find his place in this world. Again following your heart, believing in miracles, and never giving up are themes throughout this film. A lovely story that's beautiful to watch. Please do yourself a favor and rent this! Here is the <a href="http://www.hugomovie.com/">link</a> to the website with a great trailer that provides a little more background. <br />
<br />
And last but not least... on my girls day out we saw this...<br />

A star studded cast shines in this story of friends searching for the answers in this sweet and poignant movie. I loved all of the characters, the intermingled stories and lives and a glimpse at what happens "next", after children. Parts of the story are predictable but not in the way that makes the movie feel any less touching, the somewhat predictable parts are also the parts that pull you in because you relate in one way or another. A lovely little film that I would encourage you to see whether it's right now in the theatres, or rent it for a night in with someone you love friend or partner. Here's the <a href="http://www.friendswithkids.com/#">link</a> to the website. And let's be honest, Ed Burns, John Hamm, Adam Scott, and Chris O' Dowd the cute love interest from Bridesmaids, it was pretty easy on the eyes too ;) <br />
<br />
Well there it is friends... my brilliantly titled Movie Monday. ;) Feel free to start planning your weekend downtime <b>now</b>. Only 4 more days to go!<br />

<span class="ital-inline"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">I would like to argue this. To me, family is a group of people, not just parents and their children,who support each other through all of life's seasons, that grow and change together, that come together in good times and bad</span></span></span><span class="ital-inline"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;"> </span></span></span><span class="ital-inline"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">and continue to love one another regardless of time or distance between them. I love my "traditional" family but I also consider my lifelong friends my family, Mr. Jones' family my family and their friends part of my family too. Mum & Dad Jones are a wonderful example of what it looks like to have lifelong friends who have become family members and I look forward to watching my friends and I grow and change together over the years, blurring the lines between friends and family until it seems that there's never been any difference in the two at all. </span></span></span></div>

<span class="ital-inline"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="dndata" style="color: #666666;">
<span class="ital-inline"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">We were fortunate enough to host The Joneses the other night and their family friends who were visiting from the UK for dinner at ours. Sitting around the table together it didn't feel like sitting with Mr. Jones' parents and their friends, it felt like sharing a meal with <i>my family</i>, regardless of whether or not we are related I know that their lifelong friends will also be the people that will be in my life for forever as well. I am so fortunate to have such wonderful people in my life and I will forever be grateful to Mr. Jones for sharing his <i>family </i>with me. </span></span></span></div>

On Saturday I'll be baking <a href="http://www.puttinonthegrits.com/2011/01/pistachio-pudding-cake.html%20">this</a> delicious sounding pound cake and we'll
spend the day simmering corned beef and cabbage! You have no idea how
much I LOVE corned beef. It's one of my top three favorite foods and by
far, my favorite part of St. Patrick's day. The funny thing is Mr. Jones
plays soccer with a lot of Irish guys and they don't even eat corned
beef, I guess in Ireland it's not considered a nice cut of meat, it was
brought to the US by Irish immigrants and became a popular Irish food
here. I was going to bake Irish soda bread, but I might just pick some
up from the grocery store, another favorite of mine. </div>

And to round out the festivities I thought we should watch an "Irish"
film. It's going to be a good weekend for snuggling inside so I thought I
would share two of my favorites. I'm pretty certain I won't convince
Mr. Jones to watch either of these with me so I'll either watch one
while he's busy with soccer or here's a list of <a href="http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/movies/The-top-ten-best-Irish-movies-of-all-time---VIDEOS-141559763.html">ten more</a> Irish themed films for our or your viewing pleasure! </div>

Another dreary rainy day here in SF, luckily for me I have today off so I've spent the majority of my day finishing The Hunger Games ;) Now I'm really excited for the movie and the next book! I have lots of little loving snapshots to share today, things that make my heart swell and remind me that the little things in life really feel like the biggest rewards sometimes. Yesterday was a not so fun day as I had a "minor" unexpected car emergency that of course turned into a larger more expensive one. So trying to keep things in perspective and thinking about these things helps me to remember that with the bad always comes the good. Life is a collection of ups and downs all with their own yin and yang. So even though I had to cancel work yesterday and deal with car troubles which was a bit of a pain, it left me with two quiet days at home, to sit and reflect while the rain came down outside. <br />

We had a whirlwind of a weekend filled with so much happiness and love. I have to admit I'm left feeling a little like a rainy day on the inside too, a little dreary missing some wonderful friends. The rainbow at the end of all of this is that I'll be back again soon, and if this weekend was any indication, we are in for one amazing wedding come July. <br />
<br />
Thought I would pass along a little of my sunshine to brighten your day...and a special shout out to the future Duceys.. LOVE you both immensely and will happily celebrate the two of you any weekend. Hearts, rainbows, and lots of sunshine, your friend Miss. V. <br />
