nails of a "domestic goddess"

although i am far from being a domestic goddess, this color might be one that a domestic goddess would wear... i love how it is matte, and i'm not usually a huge fan of purple, but this definitely proves that i can love purple.

i picked this color up with my sis in law, aileen. i'm sure she is as thrilled as i am... definitely a color that can brighten a cloudy, rainy day. this is exclusively found at sephora (by OPI).

well, i'm off to a pia-jammin' (pajama) 2nd birthday... hope you have an awesome weekend!

i'm in love...

i just melted when my hubby sent me this photo... it was taken by my brother when they were all hanging out. *sigh*

my first "weekend hand(s)" post!

i have a nail polish obsession. it all started when i was still 5 years of age. my cousin, cyrra, always wore the darkest red/brown nails... and i've been smitten ever since...

the reason why i call this weekly post "weekend hand(s)", is that i work in an environment that does not allow my polish to stay on for a day with out a scratch. i am a dental lab technician and i work with hand tools - enough said. so, i usually get my nails done on a friday, and when monday rolls around that's the end of the manicure. a sad, sad day...

i'm going to start posting a photo of my "manicured hands" (focus on the nails, for obvious reasons... LOL) once a week.

here, i am wearing "kangarooby" - OPI. it is from their australian collection back in early 2008. i love hunting for discontinued colors, and i was so ecstatic when i found a couple of bottles from a local nail salon!

next week, i will be rockin' a color found here or here... i looove OPI! most likely, "domestic goddess" that i picked up at sephora with my sis-in-law, aileen, yesterday.

so don't forget to check back next weekend!

if you want to make a child happy, try this...

i saw this amazing blog through one of my friend's website, a while back (and i've been thinking about it since)... if you are wondering what this is all about, this should sum it up: The Toy Society spreads the love throughout the streets of the world. Nothing to it really just a bunch of handmade toys looking for a nice home. this will officially be my first handmade doll! i'm not sure how long this will take me, but the thought of making some one happy - well, makes me happy! if you want to make someone's day, visit the toy society.

dom & max before bedtime

he really loves max!

he really loved jumping back and forth from the couch to the ottoman, with max, of course!

air time!

my first post!

...so i started this blog almost a year ago. this is officially my first post, YAY! kellie, i started it (finally).

had an awesome day! we adopted, max, today, my son's favorite character in "where the wild things are." we were renting some movies and somewhere along the aisles, he found max... he yelled, "mommy, MAX!!! it's max, sooo cool!" we just had to get it for him. dom is the sweetest boy, he would spontaneously say, "i love you!" it totally makes my day.

we are having a lazy family day... we just wanted to relax and prepare for another work day... oh and cleaning too. a day in the life of a working mom!

hope your day is awesome!

xo,
