Mom Cave
I've recently purchased a few things from HomeGoods. Then I was watching The View just this past week, and saw they did a special on a Mom Cave. You know, how men traditionally always have a "man cave" in the house. Well I think it's funny yet a great idea to come up with the "mom cave". I know several women who own their own business and have at home offices but why not transition that room into your "mom cave". Love it and I love the direction HomeGoods is headed towards.

Magazine...
I've been contemplating subscribing to a few magazine's recently. I'm thinking I'll wait, maybe for a Christmas present? :) We'll see. I would love one fitness/health mag -Women's Health would probably be my choice- and one design magazine -maybe Rue or Martha. Rue just came out with their fall premiere magazine. The colors/designs are a must see. Here's a few I found.

Seton Home
We've been keeping busy around here! Eric been getting ready for the up coming season along w/working out (he's lost 20 pounds) so proud of him :) and I have been getting a few babysitting jobs here and there on top of nannying; such a blessing! We've been intentional on eating healthy and working out for the past few months. Basically living healthy. It's been really nice for me to have a goal as far as working out goes. I've gained a lot of muscle already and love where I'm headed. Within the next month I'd like to eat leaner and lower my body fat percentage...but we'll see!
Anyways the point of this post was to share with you a local organization that our church has teamed up with, Seton Home. Last weekend we attended an open house they had and visited with the mother's and held their precious babies! So glad that there's an open opportunity to get involved in serving Jesus w/our love and time.
I haven't shared some thoughts on design as of lately. And well if you don't know I really enjoy interior design and I also love photography. The combination of these is best captured by Michael Robinson. Check out some of his work.

Shoes
I love flats and sandals. Heels are not so much my thing. And these shoes will hopefully be my next purchase. I have been wanted these since I first discovered TOMS shoes months ago but going into the summer I knew I wouldn't wear them as much. So now, going into the fall I plan to get them. I love the shoes and I love the thought of shopping and doing good for someone else at the same time :) These are my favorite:
