Flowers and The Price of Oil


I love Trader Joes. Seriously, how do you beat $1.49 for daffodils? And $4.99 tulips, iris', and hydrangeas...



I really try to buy local for a lot of things..but knowing these came over from lovely Ireland just makes me smile. I've never been to Ireland but it's high on my list let me tell you. 


Yes it's still too cold for Hannah's new yellow dress from mini- Boden but we had to have a fashion show. 


I think it looks cute with her red boots and my VERY old jean jacket. It's older than she is. I just can't seem to part with it. Rips and patches and all. 


I certainly wasn't jumping for joy when I got my oil bill today. Crap.


Seriously, that just isn't right.

    Do you heat with oil? Wow. That's very foreign to me. We have hydro power. Here in the desert. Yep. That's right. That's weird too. When you think about it.

    Love her dress and her red wellies! So cute and so fun together.

    And, yes. I hit up TJ's for the flowers too. Have a bunch of sunflowers this week from them.

    I was sick all weekend and filled up my car today. I was SHOCKED at the price of gas. I thought I must have been out for a year rather than just 3 days. I'm so scared of the $4/gallon gas prices we had a couple of years ago.

    Love your new header...Hannah is so cute!
    I have never been to a Trader Joe's or seen one around here. :(
    Our previous home had oil heat...I'm so thankful that we don't have it in our home now...we would be in the poor house for sure!
