And we're off!



My sweet folks are in town for the next 9 days, so to thoroughly break them in, we headed off to the Mall of America.  While my momma took forever in Forever 21 my dad and I bonded on a bench outside the store.  I love this picture of us.  He really doesn't like getting his picture taken...so I'm going to cherish this one. 





Oh and while I'm sitting here I might as well show you my cute necklace and...





bracelet I got from Claire's

I got my hat there too.  They have some super cute stuff and it's cheap.  Gotta love that.  Who's says it's only for teenie boppers!




Let me tell you what I love about my mom and dad.  They are two of the most precious people ever.  They are beyond loving and kind, super generous and unconditional.  And they are soooo easy to entertain.





Here's my momma all excited about the fancy hand dryers at IKEA.  It really lit her up like a Christmas tree.  I think that's where I get my enthusiasm for life.  They just thoroughly enjoy the littlest things.





Riding the escalator up into the IKEA store.  They SAW me taking their picture yet neither of them...




would make eye contact with me.  Isn't that hilarious!!



 {loved that paper light}


My mom oohed and ahhed all over the store.  Showing my dad just what they needed.  Oh to be wealthy and have the ability to spoil them rotten all the time.  I'd love that.  It's so much more fun to do that with people who really appreciate the littlest things.





Had to take a picture of me in an all white room.  It's really pretty, but sooo not me.  I'd have to jazz it up with some colorful pillows and a fun throw.  Maybe a painting or two...ha!


So I'm taking a little breather while they're here. Keep reading though. I'm going to repost some stuff you might have missed. Hope you all have a great week:)






Have a blessed day.

  9. Awhhhh, so sweet!!! I love the pictures of you and your Dear parents! There is nothing more precious than to spend time with the ones we truely love. I was soooooo happy to see you wearing the owl nrcklace from Claires, because believe it or not, me and my daughters went last weekend to our Claires, I spyed same necklace and grabbed it right up, because I thought it was the most adorable necklace ever, especially here with Fall upon us, the colors were perfect, and the owl ofcourse really had me, I love anything Owl! I purchased it for my 10 year old that was not able to make it to Claires with us, and to my surprise she did not even want it for some strange reason, which I was honestly so happy she didnt, because I wanted it for myself, but was wondering If It looked too kidish, but Nope you just comfirmed that it is a GO!!!!! I LOVE it!!!! You look adorable wearing it and Btw you were so lucky to get the bracelet, they were sold out when I bought the necklace.... Enjoy your parents and have a great weekend!!!!

  13. Well, you get it honest...your mom and dad are so stinking cute. I love how they wouldn't look at the camera. haha Maybe if we ignore her the camera won't work! I love the bracelet and necklace. I will fight you for them! I wish I lived closer to an IKEA. I am so jealous. My girls and I are traveling up north to a baby shower in Nov. and an IKEA trip is in the plan :)Have a fun time with the folks!!

  25. I have to tell you I love that you KNOW an all white room is just not you. I love that you embrace the color (I'm a color girl too, but took a detour when the rest of world decided all white is the way to go...) I've never DONE the all white, just pined over it...

    but thanks to you I'm gathering the courage to say "Well, that's just not me." :)

  26. oh how this makes me miss my mom and dad.

    big smile and delightful personality!

  35. So great to have your parents come and visit. I LOVE IKEA more than life. When we go out to IL to visit my husband's family we go right past it, and I ALWAYS have to stop much to my husband's shagrin.

    Have a wonderful time with them!

  38. Oh Becky, you are just so darn cute! Your love for your parents just makes me smile. Yes, wouldn't it be the most wonderful thing to be wealthy just so that we could spoil the ones we love so much!

    I need to visit an IKEA, haven't been to one in probably 15 years. Someone else recently posted about some dish towels they got there for .49 cents ea!! Love a bargain. Have fun with your mama and papa. btw, that was a funny picture where they were looking over the railing and you said they are easy to entertain! you made a funny! xo
