Seven Questions via Miss Gentri Lee!

I am finally joining in the Seven Questions Link-up on Gentri Lee's blog! You should all join too! 

And here's a silly picture to accompany the post!

{On my birthday a year ago I got to kiss this giraffe! :]}

1. You're given the choice between a life with love and trials or loneliness and ease. Pick one.

I would most definitely pick love and trials! Love makes everything so much better even when things are ridiculously hard. Being married is wonderful and there is so much love besides romantic love that I would not want to miss out on. Loneliness just doesn't sound worth it even if life is easy. 

2. Would you rather live in Narnia, Hogwarts, Middle Earth, or Neverland?

Hogwarts! I don't know enough about Narnia and I wouldn't pick the other two. I just want to live in Hogwarts land after Voldemort is gone. And I would hope that if I lived there I had magic powers. Because being the only muggle amidst witches and wizards might not be the most fun thing...

3. Think of your dream home... what style is it?

This is so hard for me to figure out! I have about a billion different styles on Pinterest. But I think light and airy and simple would describe my dream home. I definitely like homes with lots of natural light and big windows. 

4. What's currently your favorite song or album?

I am not super into music...so this is a hard one for me. I would say that I always love listening to...country music though. That's about as far as I can narrow it down right now. Haha. 

5. Who was the last person you hugged?

My husband. :] And what a great hug it was! He really does give the best hugs. They're especially wonderful when I'm being weirdly emotional because of these crazy pregnancy hormones! 

6. You have a ticket in your hand, where is it going to take you?

I'm assuming this means plane ticket? It's going to take me to Spain! I really want to go there someday! And I'd explore other parts of Europe from there if I could. My second choice is Japan. And if this isn't referring to a plane ticket then I do have a ticket to see Hunger Games this week and I can't wait!! 

7. Who is one blogger you KNOW you'd be BFF's with in real life?

Gentri Lee is one blogger I KNOW I'd be BFF's with in real life! I don't email tons of bloggers but Gentri and I have emailed and Facebook chatted it up and texted and all that good stuff and I better get to meet her someday because we would really be such great friends! Also, I love her name and might want to steal it for my baby! If only I could convince Race to love it as much as I do! We'll see! :] 

Phone Photos Ep. 5 {Insta-Friday}

My week in Instagram photos!

Happy Halloween everyone! This is what one of the maintenance guys at work 

recorded as what he had got done on Halloween day! So funny!! :]

Some outfits I wore in the past couple of weeks.

This picture is from a post I wrote for Kylie's blog.

You should all go check it out!

A shoe collage. Didn't this turn out geometrically awesome?! 

Earrings that I made! I LOVE them! 

Apples+Caramel. My favorite snack that I had pretty much every day this week. 

I didn't always have the caramel but I love apples with or without caramel. 

I have eaten an entire bag of apples by myself this week. Mmmm!

Race was a little excited to rent this game from Redbox. Haha. He's been playing it nonstop. 

{I can't wait til he finishes it!}

Well, that was my week in photos! :]

This weekend is Race's dad's birthday so there will be a little post about that. 

There are some cute little stories in there so you should definitely check it out! 

Also, these giveaways are ending so you should check that out!

And, my sister-in-law wrote a cute post on our blog so you should also check that out!

And don't forget about my guest post on Kylie's blog!

So many fun things to check out! Now head on over to Insta-Friday and link up your

week in cell phone photos!

Today I am grateful for my phone. I use it for everything. Mostly for pictures and entertainment when I am bored. But really, iPhones are just so much fun. So that's what I'm grateful for today!

I made something from Pinterest last night! Okay, maybe it's only exciting to me...
Does anyone else pin TONS of things to make on Pinterest and then never end up getting around to it because they are too busy pinning tons of other cool things? Because that's definitely what I do. Until last night that is! Last night I decided to get off my lazy bum and make myself a cute ear warmer thing because it's getting cold here! And ear warmers are adorable! So, without further ado, here is my rendition of the picture you see above!

What do you all think? I am in love with it and I definitely wore it today with a chunky sweater and a scarf. Isn't fall glorious?!

You should all make one of these! I made mine out of an old thermal shirt that I had stashed away for projects just like this. I plan on making a ton more too! I think that I may just have to go thrifting for some old wool sweaters so that I can make thicker, warmer ones.

Left: Ear warmer, scarf and chunky sweater. Aka the perfect fall outfit. Top Right: Close-up of cute ear warmer. Bottom Right: The back of the cute ear warmer! {Cute button, eh?}

And here's some other news, that might be more exciting to all of you: I am thinking about doing Swap Sponsors! It really depends on if there is any interest in the idea. I know that some people can't really do it because they have legit paying sponsors on their blog but I thought it would be fun to get some swap sponsors and then maybe to do some sponsor guest posts, giveaways, features, etc. If you are just interested in swapping and not in any of the other stuff that's totally cool too! Just let me know! If anyone is interested email me at emsmilesss {at} gmail {dot} com!

Have a wonderful fall day! Keep your ears warm and make something that you've been pining over on Pinterest! :]

I'm adding to this post! I am linking up with All Things Lovely Pinterest Recreation Linky Party and you should all join! Recreate something you saw on Pinterest whether it's cute earmuffs, an outfit, home decor, etc. and then link it up!! :]
