Pinterest-ing Wednesday {v.7}

Hola, blogging world! I know I'm a bit behind on my pinning, but that's because everyone at my work was taking their vacations this week, so this mama was covering and covering and covering all the left over shifts. But I'm back! And with good news. My pin boards have expanded! Now I have eight boards for you to peek at! I told y'all, I just love Pinterest too much. Here are my top EIGHT pins of the week! Enjoy.

For Mama: Yep, you guessed it. Bikini season is coming up quickly, so I'm in full gear towards a smaller midsection. Though I'm not the bikini type, I'd still like to rock a cute little one piece. I'm sure you ladies can relate.

For Papa: He's been wearing long sleeve dress shirts on the daily. He knows how much I love a nice, clean cut, freshly shaven man in jeans and a dress shirt. And I know how much he loves that I love it too.

For Kiri: I really can't wait to buy another sewing machine and get to making her some clothing. Since, you know, I spend way too much money at the local boutiques for her ever-changing (and ever-stained) clothing.

For The Home: Crisp white sheets. I want, I want, I want. I was always afraid of spending so much money on white bedding because we were co-sleeping and I didn't want Kiri to dirty them, but now that she's in her own room, I'd like to invest in some. Any thoughts?

NEW! For Cooking: Since choosing to go vegetarian, I thought it'd be a neat idea to start a board that pins all types of recipes and such. That way I can find some neat little websites and online cookbooks. And I have! This recipe for making homemade pickles? Perfection.

For Celebration: As most of you know, Valentine's Day is right around the corner! I love this holiday, especially since it falls just a week before my birthday, but also because it's a chance to do something special and show off homemade gift-making skills. Kiri and I are planning on making 24 homemade, handmade V-Day cards for our closest family and friends. Email me at fortsawyer@gmail.com if you'd like one! 

NEW! For Travelling: Will always be home to me! And I can't wait to head here for two weeks in June! 

For Inspiration: What's not inspirational about a classic-style Volkswagen?! [I mean, really!]

Pinterest-ing Wednesday {v.6}

Hope everyone is having a wonderfully, whacky Wednesday! Here are my top six pins of the week!

For Mama: Style icon # 1 will always be Lauren Conrad. Beach waves, natural makeup and a bubbly personality? I think so!

For Papa: Hot guy, hot car, hot photo. Yep, we've got ideas for a Bop-a-liscious photoshoot, coming soon!

For Kiri: I have a quirky idea that involves taking some of Little Miss' best photographs and putting them on a canvas collage in our living room wall. 

For the Home: THIS BEDDING! I want something neutral colored (to adhere to Papa's taste!) but with frills, lace or ruffles (to adhere to mine as well!) This one is perfectttt!

For Celebration: A warm pot of broccoli and cheese soup for the win!

For Inspiration: This. Always.

Pinterest-ing Wednesday {v.5}

Good morning, all! I hope everyone is having a wonderfully awesome Wednesday morning! I'm enjoying a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of the most amazing tea--(thanks to Tazo's delicious chai version!) Here are my top six pins of the week! 

For Mama: May I just say how flippin' (yes, I said flippin'!) adorable that bathing suit is?! I was lucky enough to snag the one I have from last year from Target, but I think that this year I might dig deep into my pockets and invest in a really cute, hopefully not too expensive one piece. But knowing me, I won't be able to justify spending more than $20 on one for myself, so I'll just settle with another Target clearance find. Such is my life.

For Papa: This photograph just screams cute. There's something about a man with tattoos and parenting that just gives me the smiles. Now, most of you know that Robert has yet to get any ink, BUT! He will be soon. So yes, this would apply to him. 

For Kiri: On-going 'Kiwi's Room' design inspiration. I'll never find the perfect one. But I'll forever find ones to add together for her perfect little corner of our apartment. 

For the Home: I'm in such desperate need for storage solutions, it's pitiful. I'm just in shock at how terrible I've been adapting to life in an apartment. Maybe it's that I'm used to having an outdoor shed and being able to put up a linen closet wherever I wanted to, but seriously, having to give up my sectional AND my pantry too? It's killing me. Send some pointers my way, people! 

For Celebration: Now that Fort Sawyer's officially vegetarian, we're also gonna need a flood of recipes to keep us fed every day. I need books, websites, apps and basically anything y'all can manage to get your hands on and send my way. Now that I'm a working lady and can't spend half my day preparing meals, I need some sort of guidance on how to stay healthy.

For Inspiration: LIKE A LADY. Forever.

Pinterest-ing Wednesday {v.4}

Hey, y'all! I'm a little late, I know! I suck so bad. But you know, with the holidays and family visiting, plus work being so hectic, I haven't had time to rest...even for a millisecond. But as promised, here are my top six pins of the week! Enjoy.

For Mama: This is basically the entirety of my closet, as of late. Over-sized sweaters, tee-shirts and black leggings. I don't know what I'm gonna do once Spring comes! 

For Papa: Oldsmobile forever. 

For Kiri: Super cute Parisian inspired block set. So she can really construct the Eiffel Tower!

For the Home: WANT, WANT, WANT!

For Celebration: Yep, you guessed it. I've started the wedding planning process. Two years in advance. When all I want is a tiny (SIMPLE) beach wedding! 

For Inspiration: I want this photograph framed on my wall! Enough said.

'Pinterest'-ing Wednesday {v.3}

''Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la!'

For Mama: May I even begin to comment on the fact that I've been OBSESSED with mustard this season. The color, that is! Just the way it looks against the fallen leaves....it's perfect to me.

For Papa: Men. Suspenders. Dress pants. I'M IN LOVE.

For Kiri: This just breathes Kiri. All the way. Major diva status right hurr.

For the Home: In the spirit of Christmas, being merry is a major plus. Just the word 'merry' makes me wanna get up and sway to and fro, while dreaming of the smell of pine and a white Christmas.

For Celebration: What a wonderful time of year. Bare trees, reindeer, snow. (Well, not in Florida, BOO!) but you know!

For Inspiration: Need I say more? I've been falling out of my organized ways and letting life (and the cleanliness of my home!) slide by. Not cool, Amanda. Not cool. I need to get back on track: Start doing yoga again, start working out, get on a routine and right a strict budget. 2012, here I come!

'Pinterest'-ing Wednesday {v.2}

Ah, it's another lovely Wednesday morning here at our fort. Quite a hump day, to say the least. As this week has been super, unbelievably stressful. BUT! No matter the hurdles, I declare that this week WILL be a good one. In the mean time, here are my top favorites from my pin boards.

For Mama: Oh, the extra mile caffeine has gone for me this week. It's been a little chilly here, so just the warm feeling of the mug in my hands, the yummy French vanilla fragrance lingering through the air...can't tell ya how much I love that stuff! 

For Papa: Robert and I have been going over thoughts of some changes in the upcoming year, one of them being his wardrobe. He'd really like to find more of a 'grown up' look, as opposed to the same 'board shorts and tee shirts' look he's graced for the past six years. Can't say that I wouldn't like seeing him rock dress shirts and blazers!

For Kiri: How stinkin' cute is that elephant?! OH. MY. GOSH. I've been going over different themes for her room; she likes eiffel towers and polka dots, but I like the more calm, natural look. Something less...I don't know, busy. She really seemed to like this though. Maybe we can find a happy medium?

For the Home: You can't NOT find that room so relaxing. Plus, the sweater blanket? Super cute. I need to re-vamp our apartment and you better believe this board has given me some adorable ideas.

For Celebration: Yes. Wedding in the Woods? Natural colors, natural elements, natural light, natural love. My dream.

For Inspiration: Need I say more? 

'Pinterest'-ing Wednesday

Ever since my friend Sarah (at Her Sea of Love) introduced me to Pinterest a few months back, I think it's safe to say I've been obsessed. Some of the things on there are just darling---it's like someone took my imagination and splashed it all over one tiny website. So, in an effort to keep me blogging regularly, I'm gonna share my favorites, one from each board, once a week, every Wednesday, for y'all! So, to kick off 'Pinterest'-ing Wednesday, here's the first week's lineup!
