My five favorites this week...

#1 - I signed up for Polyvore awhile ago but never really got into it. Then I was putting together my Anchors Aweigh post and learned how to make my first fashion collage. Now I wonder how I didn't play on it sooner...it's genius! You can follow me on Polyvore HERE.

#4 - This past weekend, my husband & I called my cousin & his wife who just recently moved to California. Over the course of the conversation, their almost-two-year-old son, aka Mr. M, got on the phone to say hello & the chat went something like this:

My cousin: "Say hi to Uncle Ryan"

Mr. M: "Hi...Uncle...Ryan!"

My cousin: "Say hi to Titi Erica"

Mr. M: "Hi...Titi...bla-bla-bla"

Oh, Mr. M you made my heart melt from miles away!

I had a week of exhaustion, so unfortunately I didn't find time to put together my normal post for Friday's Five, but I think these five little puppy faces fill in quite nicely.

Aren't they so stinkin' adorable?!
