Weekly Loves!

1. Casas por Cristo

This is my mom's BFF's daughter, Aimee. She works for Casas por Cristo building homes for impoverished families in Juarez, Mexico (one of the most dangerous cities in the world). Due to lack of funds, her internship was cancelled. BUT she is going down there with them anyway with 3 other team members.. and they are raising the money on their own. The homes cost $5000 each to build & she is working on raising a goal of $35,000 total. Any little bit helps!!!

My favorites from this week!

I'm so internet-ADD so I'm going to start doing a weekly 'favorites' update. Here is my first!


1. A Button Monogram tutorial from Spearmint Baby!

I can't decide if I should make an M for Maddox's room or an R for our living room. Or both. Either way, it's a super cute gift idea for all the babies coming into my life!

EDIT: I just bought 100 mismatched buttons off of eBay. I hope that's enough. :D


2. Bedside Angel is a non-profit organization that my friend Jordan started along with his girlfriend and others. Their goal is to help children who suffer from long-term illnesses erase substantial hospital debt. Check out the store! They have some really cute, handmade jewelry! And it's for a good cause!



3. Picnic weather!!!!!

I've been scouting perfect picnic spots!


4. Amber Gray Photography

I have caught myself just staring at this photo so many times. That little pig & that hair!


5. Springtime Yarn Wreaths!

This one is from this shop on Etsy. I also love the wreath & tutorial from The Curious Pug. I want to make a springy-summery one for our door! Living in an apartment complex means that my yarn wreath won't get destroyed by rain! :D


6. This kid's birthday party!!

Found it at Corner House. Owls & a bed table!


7. These shoes!

Will I ever grow up?


8. Garlands Galore!

Tons of garlands from Bliss. I want / NEED them all over my house.

I think that's enough for now. I didn't even get to all of them but I feel like I've already gone overboard. haha. :D
