Here are the little things that lit up my life this week:
1. Big bucks coming my way!
With $4 in my pocket, Bryan, Frankie and I took a late evening stroll to the gas station and picked up a Mega Millions lottery ticket. It was a fun little adventure and it’s great to dream about what we would do if we won the $540 million jackpot!
{Channeling Lady Luck!}
2. World’s best coconut cake
{not the best picture, but it sure tasted amazing!}
I always look forward to my birthday cake each year. While I’m usually a whole-hearted, decadent chocolate lover, I’ve been craving fruity and light flavors as of late.
I found an amazing coconut and pineapple cake recipe on Pinterest and my mom lead the charge in baking this beauty {THANKS MOM!}. It was tropical, fluffy and perfectly sweet.
3. Chasing after chambray
{Anthropologie}
I’ve been seeing a lot of chambray on some pretty stylish people lately and it’s now on my must-wear list.
I found this adorable rendition at Anthropologie, so I may just need to swing on over and snatch one off the shelf!
4. Wi-fi? Wi-fail.
For the past two days, my wi-fi has been kaput.
I could have been upset that I wasn’t as attentive to my blogging and other online-related work, but it was a blessing.
It’s amazing what one can accomplish when the Internet is out of the equation! And it felt good not to be “chained” to checking up on, well, let’s be honest—everything!
Now, it’s back up and running just in time to finish up this blog post… 🙂

I am a recovering tanning addict. I used to tan in traditional beds and fry to a crisp all throughout college…as we all know now…it’s less than healthy for you. I have since given up said addiction and have gone on to try spray/Mystic tans at tanning salons to satisfy my need for a little glow….

We often say it, but this time I really mean it: WHAT A YEAR. I say that with a heavy heart, a happy heart and all with the knowing that everything was for the best. I have written 140 blog posts (with 12 days to go!), and experienced, well…you’ll see…I’ve found my most significant and…
I cherish the days I wake up with a smile in my heart and that giddy, Christmas morning, we’re-going-to-Disneyworld-type of excitement! It may not come every morning…but darn it, I’m going to try! That was this morning. Laying in my warm bed with my soft purple and turquoise flannel PJs on, I couldn’t help but…
