Hump Day Inspiration AND a Cutie Pie!

First off I am going to be a bragging aunt.  I got this little monkey's picture today and just had to share!  Miss SC is almost 2 months old...isn't time a-flyin?  Can't wait to see her and her big sis M in November.

Now for today's inspiration.  Mr. R and I have had a couple of rough weeks on the financial/work related front and have done alot of praying.  No, no one has lost their job or anything drastic but its just been a frustrating time.  Gotta love the small things in life like the picture above, one of our animals doing something funny, this amazing weather or a great dinner with good friends.  If anyone else is feeling the dumps, keep your chin up!  We will get through it!

Wife On A Budget: Jewelry Obsessions

Those who know me well know that I do not wear extravagant jewelry.  I tend to sway to the simple side, mostly sticking with my engagement ring, wedding band and beautiful pearl studs that Mr. R gave me for our wedding.  If I am feeling fancy yet conservative I add the strand of pearls that Mr. R generously gave me to match my earrings.  I have been very vocal about a diamond and sapphire band to wear with my rings (anniversary coming up Mr. R!).

This being said, I DO enjoy the occasional statement necklace or bracelet and feel it can completely transform a plain ol' dress into a snazzy get-up.  I however REFUSE to spend a fortune on these baubles.  Call me a cheapskate but if its going to go out of style in 6 months anyways, why spend so much?!
