etsy ecstasy: the mustache trend

i have to admit that, while i thought it was cute, i didnt really jump on the mustache trend wagon until i found out that mister is a mister.  suddenly, everything mustache made me think of the little guy floating around in my uterus ... and so my fondness for all things mustache began.  im not going overboard with it and buying a ton of decorations and putting them everywhere. i just get it now ...

so, without further ado, here are some awesome mustache finds from etsy:

mustache baby blankets from little hip squeaks

little man mustache onesie from rock kandy kids

mens handlebar mustache with guns t-shirt from fuzzy ink

little mister quilted blanket from modern handcraft

sunglasses and mustache tumbler from the funky dot

baby boy shower invitations from katie did design

my stache jar from love grace joy

macbook beach ball

well guys, i am almost out of space on my macbook.  that means i have been seeing too much of the stupid beach ball.  i dont have enough space to do the most recent update on my phone or upload the pictures i have taken over the past few weeks.  and because i have been using my nikon a little more these days, i havent been taking as many pictures with my phone (did i mention it needs to be updated) so i am running out of things to post until i clean off my computer.  

*sigh* i am not looking forward to devoting 763 hours to going thru my computer file by file, document by document, picture by picture to figure out what can be deleted ... forever *gulp*.  the sad part is, the space i free up will only last so long.  

anywho, if things seem a bit underwhelming for the next few days, please stick with me.  i have some really fun stuff to post, including but not limited to ...

1. update to the basement/man room 
2. old baker's cabinet turned into a changing table for mister's room
3. awesome rocking chair with outdated cushions turns into the best rocker ever ... ok, so this project isnt finished but i have some pics to update you on how its going.
4. after a year of being in our house, we finally set up the guest room/craft room/office space. 
5. mister's first baby shower celebration
6. pictures of my dogs being extremely adorable. 
7. other random pictures i have taken with my new lens :)

another tune in my head this morning ...

we sang this at church yesterday during worship and i cannot get it out of my head.  

high 5 for insta-friday

today, i am linking up with lauren, jeanette, rachel and lindsey to acknowledge all the little things from this past week that makes my heart smile. 

ONE: husband and i had planned to watch a movie at our local $2 movie theater on monday.  by the time we got there the line was way too long to make the movie.  i was a little bummed so he took me to the mall for icees and pedicures instead.  thanks husband for pampering me!!!  

TWO:  i finally started painting the changing table for mister's room.  i was able to finish most of it but still wanting to do a few things before posting the before and after.

THREE:  hitting week 30 is a pretty big deal.  i feel like we are "getting down to the short rows" as people say :)  

FOUR:  i was about to drink a boring class of milk the other night and mentioned that it needed something.  husband jumped up and ran to the gas station to purchase every type of oreo product they had for my dipping pleasure.  

FIVE:  my new lens came in at the end of last week and im excited about us getting to know each other better!

happy weekend!!!
