Miscellaneous

jacket-target, scarf-j.crew, shirt-madewell, knit sweater-uo, lounge pants-target, shoes-toms, purse-j.crew

to do list:
grocery shopping
relax/sleep
catch up on the bachelor
play with kramer
send some snail mail 
dream big 



the good and the bad:
the bad- running out of bones for the kramer {he is addicted} my face spazing out {oh the joys of being a woman} 
the good- being able to spend some quality time as a family just snuggling and watching the boob tube. finding my long lost rose bud salve in a purse i hadn’t used for a while {my lips and hands will thank me}. waking up to a warm home and a snow dusted street with a donut and cup of hot chocolate {healthy and delicious}

have a wonderfully thoughtful tuesday 

if i could marry a rug

you may or may not know that i am absolutely in love with rugs, a lot! if you were to ask my husband just how much i love them, {who by the way banned me from purchasing any more} he would tell you… we have at least one in every room and that doesn’t even count the ones away in storage on account that there is no floor space left. so um, yeah….i like rugs.
rugs can bring so much life to your home with texture, color and pattern – plus they soften the hard floors and say to your feet “please stand on me”. they come in a variety of sizes and colors so you can personalize them for your home. just make sure you choose the correct size for your space {a mistake i have made a few times}. when choosing the correct size for your living/family room, make sure when everyone sits down their feet rest comfortably on the rug. your rug should also be somewhat centered with the room and allow enough room for people to walk around it yet not being so small it looks “dinky”. when putting one in your dining room, people should be able to scoot in and out from the table without going over the edges of the rug. you get the picture. 
so liven up your house with some pattern, texture, and color. your eyes, mind and feet will thank you. 
what are you favorite types of rugs? do you have one? two? or a hundred like me? have a picture of your favorite rug? then don’t forget to link up!

Hello lovely Chalk White Arrow readers! I’m Casey, hubby is James, and we own The Leaflet– happy that our piece of the universe in mingling with yours! We are a little crazy, a lot in love newlyweds, sharing about our life together and everything it includes (okay, we’ll spare you the *everything*)- faith, eating, adventures, getting dressed (the clothing part, silly), making our house a home and sometimes James self-acclaimed beard-o-glory {fist pump}.

You are probably really glad you found this giveaway today because you have stumbled upon the chance to win a {drumroll please} winter survival packet! In my opinion, all you really need to survive the long winter’s chill is hot chocolate. Not just any hot chocolate, but hot chocolate and handmade marshmallows from San Francisco, Recchiuti’s in fact {double fist pump, trust me..it’s “rully” good}. After that, all you will need is a mug. Shoot…really hope you have one of those.
