be happy for this moment.

It is so hard to believe that we are at the end of March already. I feel like Christmas was just yesterday! The past couple (and the next several) weeks have been/will be extremely busy for both Jonathan and me. During these busy and sometimes stressful times, it's easy for me to just wish for vacation or a weekend away with my husband to just get here already.

But today, I saw this print from etsy and was convicted of my attitude lately:

Yikes. That is so true. What am I doing? I'm wishing away my life, that's what. And I don't want to do that at all.

I want to learn to enjoy each and every moment. Even the whirlwind like ones.

I don't want one minute of my life to pass by unnoticed and unappreciated.

Do you ever have one of those days where you wake up just incredibly thankful for life? Today my heart has been swelling with joy and happiness! Every day should be like this, really. But today I feel it especially.

I can't get the tune "Count Your Blessings" out of my head:

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

Count your blessings, see what God has done!

I know this goes against the norm, but I really love Mondays. It's the beginning of a new week...so many yet-to-be-discovered possibilities. It's always my most productive & inspired day of the week! :)

Here's some pretty inspiration for your Monday:

I've always had a fondness for vintage suitcases. But seeing one used as a vanity?! Absolutely genius!

I absolutely love these pretty vintage glasses and bowls displayed on a shelf from Rachel at Smile and Wave. And that antique radio is adorable too! Love it all.

Recently I've been obsessed with the color yellow. Especially when it's a mustardy, golden yellow. So, I was thrilled when I saw this gorgeous yellow room. Something about it makes me want to revisit kindergarten.

And here's a super fun, colorful commercial to make you smile:

Happy Monday! :)

you are too blessed to be stressed.

Good morning, friends!

I hope you all are having a terrific day so far. If not, then maybe these will inspire you to smile:

hello, my name is tiffany. i'm a perfectionist.

I think I can safely venture out there and guess that I'm not alone when I say that I'm a perfectionist. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to myself. I don't mind if other people aren't perfect, that's silly to expect. But I don't like to mess up, and when I do...I'm not easy on myself.

The other day I heard a quote by photographer Dane Sanders that really inspired and encouraged me:

Trade in perfectionism for excellence. With perfectionism, it mandates that you never fail, and that's a pretty tough standard to live up to. But with excellence, it mandates that you fail over and over and over again. If you follow that recipe, you're going to land at the kind of excellence that you can only find through trial and error. You do that, and you're going to find yourself in a winning position.

and everything not to."

I've got big dreams. Big dreams for today, and for tomorrow. And sometimes a little voice in my head tells me that my dreams are silly...but I like to just ignore that voice and not listen to it one little bit. Not one bit.

If you've got big dreams, I say...go for it! What have you really got to lose?
