This is a public service announcement:
Let me just reiterate how important it is to me and my family that we keep our last name out of the blog world. We have tried our hardest to keep it secrety, but sometimes it leaks through. Please...if you have my last name on your sidebar or in your posts PLEASE remove it. "Lauren" or "Stupid Idiot" work just great :) Loves!
1. Cutest mirror evah!
Umm...can you say "Cherry Street Antiques"?!
I have been eyeing this little beauty for a while and finally talked myself into buying it on Saturday. Rewarding myself is my favorite :)

2. Stinker Tedward makes better cookies than I.
And it pisses me off.
No...it delights me and my belly.
No...it pisses me off.
Gah! I can't decide!
3. Zac Efron is the shiz.
And I love his one muscly arm.
Umm...when did he get so hawt?
Oh yeah...forevers ago.
I don't care what Tori says, he isn't gay.
4. Cuteness!
Found this little doo-hickey at the antique store for 3 bones.
And I fell in love.
And put mouthwash in it.
And my mom asked if I scrubbed it out first.
And I said yes...thinking I did.
But I just realized I didn't.
Oops.
5. Ted thinks he is Paramore.
And I love him for it.
6. This little paper in my mailbox...
Make me the giddiest girl in the world.
You will have to wait and see what came in the mail.
It was delightful..
(ignore the scraggly scraggle-mcfee-hairs)
7. Watching Zac Efron on my own TV.
This part happens to be my favorite scene in the movie.
The CGI basketballs flying through the air, make it.
Srsly.
8. I make stuff.
I designed and made 30 invitations for an event for the Young Women at church.
I thought they were fetching.
But...you know how it is :)
9. I wear Mormon shorts.
And it is funny.
And so stereotypical.
Loooove it.
Don't I just look so...married?
10. Clearance at Target rocks my world.
I wanted this overpriced pillow the moment my little eyes saw it.
Did I pay 30 bucks for it?
No...try, 8!
Suckahs!

First!
Yeah, your post isn't even on my google reader yet but I was just going to your blog to get the template link at the top and noticed the new post! First time ever being first! Booyah!
Thanks for sharing all the awesomeness, I love how you always find the cutest decor! Stuff that I would look at and not see much potential, but all you have to do is put it in your apartment, take a cute pic and it's the cutest thing I've ever seen!
um. your below post is equally funny and depressing. but nonetheless i just spent the last hour reading the comments. i'm a meas girl, too. so just thought i'd say hi!
so, hi!
(and so creepy about the "found your parents street" thing. seriously. so creepy.)
oh, and i hate twilight.
hope we can still be blog friends!
I love the pic of Ted being Paramore. Classic!
Good on you for getting that cute pillow on clearance! I love things on clearance. they are awesome :)
Hooray for clearance items.
Great job on the YW invit.
Target always gives me the warm fuzzies.
If I had seen that pillow on clearance the same time that you did, I would have wrestled you for it.
I would have won, too! ;)
Clearance at Target is seriously one of my most favorite things ever! Yay for all your cute finds! Well...except for that yam! :O
I have never heard the term, "Mormon Shorts," before. Interesting.
I am loving those shorts, so cute! I have about 5 pairs of "Mormon Shorts" in my closet, the horror! Okay, actually I love them. And P.S. you always find the best little antiques! You've inspired me to go antique shopping
I giggled at the yam.
I love all of your finds. So cute!
Target + Clearance + me = happiness. I bought a bedding set for $49 marked down from $99. Yay!
Love the Mormon shorts! I wear capris because I have fat knees. Oh and I rhyme too. That is all.
Oh and I really wanna know what is in your packages. Not to get too personal or anything. Sometimes you just want to keep your package to yourself.
I LOVE that mirror! Definite cuteness! :) And I'm curious about the package . . . if you want to tell us that is! ;)
Yams are pretty much my life at holidays. Now they will never be the same again. Please tell me you bought that yam and at this moment have it on EBay?? Ha Ha
Love the Pillow! Way to go for the clearance!
ooo! Will you make invitations for me, next time!! Because yours are WAY better than the ones I made!!
Target Clearance is one of my Happy Places too!
Oh, and don't wory about the decanter not being rinsed out...I think the mouth was will kill whatever was lurking in there.
P.S. Pocket Edward staring up at the chin-up bar made me and my daughters split a gut!
honestly out of everything in this post i love the necklace you are wearing in the first picture of the mirror. :D
Love the mirror.
Love the invitations.
Love the Pillow.
And LOVE getting good deals.
Awesomeness!!
Oh and Love the shorts.
I have a closet full of them :)
The yam! It haunts my dreams!!!
You super cute!! i love your "mormon shorts". where did you get them? the pillow for target is darling. i got a smoking deal on pillow not too long ago...it was a good day. that yam made me laugh. tell me you bought it!! haha cute invitations. you don't suprise me anymore. is that your handwriting? It's so dang cute!
fine.. i won't tell anyone your real last name is Cullen
i want that pillow. why are you so selfish and you kept it for yourself instead of surprising me for a random wed. present? so selfish that lauren...
xo
Cute invites, cute mormon shorts, cute, cute, cute. You win.
Where do you get the awesome paper and accessories to do those cards with your awesome scrapbooking skills? just curious cuz i'd love to do that stuff but i'm pretty sure i don't know where to find it..
p.s. this is my second post ever so i want to introduce myself.. i live in pittsburgh, was made in CT, i teach 1st graders in my church, i'm a Franciscan nun who is allowed to marry cuz i'm not catholic (just christian) and i'm a missionary too.. i've been to brazil like 4 times and i'm going to puerto rico next week!
thats alot to take in! sorry for spilling my life out on a long post!
Cute!! I want a mouthwash holder, no fair.
Swear I JUST left a comment!
Well, that yam almost made me throw up a little in my mouth... love that your took a pict of it though... would never eat it, uhhh. That mirror is gorgeous & the pillow totally completes the room! LOOOooOOve it!!! Oh, and that pict of Zac Efron most definitely does not make me want to vomit, but in fact gives me gooey yummy feelings... mmmmmm.
i LOve your blog !!!
I almost peed myself from laughing so hard when I saw that yam! And I have to say how glad I am that Mormon shorts are in style. I really hate those teeny tiny shorts some girls wear.
very happy things indeed!
cherry street is my favorite store ever!!!
love the mirror.
and the mouth wash jar.
and the pillow.
you make mormon shorts look good
OOO I LOVE the mirror! What a great find! Where did you get those shorts I have such a hard time finding long ones! I guess I could wear the short ones but I don't think anyone would appreciate the g's poppin out the bottom :)
That is one well-endowed yam.
I'm not normally that into Zac, but I think that picture just changed me. But...still, that b-ball scene is my least fave in the movie. Don't hate me. I just think he looks like he's having a psychotic episode during that song.
Um, your invitation = cutey perfection
Mormon shorts = hilarious.
Pillow = me, jealous
I'm wearing shorts right this very moment that look basically identical to those mormon beauties of yours. They tend to only come in a few styles....
Bed rest or not I NEED that pillow for my childs rooom. So Im totally going to copy you and go to target right now.
how come you try to keep your last name out of "the blog world?
you are so creative.... and pretty!
Now I'm gonna have all these haters at my blog for outting Zac Gayfron.
You know- everyone said my BIL wasn't gay either, except for me. He just returned from a gay cruise to Greece. So gay.
Yay for a happy post!
Love the Mirror, Mouthwash holder, Invites and pillow!
When you are patient..
Deals will come.
AH! I love your style. Your outfit is ADORABLE. I'd love to have me some mormon shorts. I wish I had a tan to wear with the shorts, first of all. hah! Did you make the mormon shorts from old jeans? Or did you buy them from some special store?! in which case, which store?!?!
I will never look at yams the same again.
I am sure the mouthwas will was out the container for you.
Great job on the invataions. Totally cute.
I love the pillow. What a steel.
Those invitations are SOOO cool. The yam...wow....its crazy realistic. I started reading your Twilight blog (which is super awesome by the way) and then saw this one. I love both!
Your invites are killer sweet! Good job!! And the pillow is def. a love it long time :)
You are a good deal finder!
I love your happy posts!
Although I think the yam has mentally scarred me.
hey I have to make invitations for young womens too! so fun! yours turned out great! and yes target is THE BEST!!
I had a fire place log that resembled your yam and I took a picture of it too!! LMAO
Target clearance is the BEST! Lovin that pillow and that little blue lamp thingy on the table behind it.
I never realized that I've been wearin "Mormon Shorts" all these years. I call them my "Cover up my fugly knees" shorts.
Is Ted singing Decode in that picture? "I think I knooooowwwwww, I think I knooooowwww..."
You two are too cute!
So many cute things.
I'd totally go to NB, that invitation would make me.
#1 You find the cutest things, Lauren!
#2. That yam! We grew a butternut pumpkin last year that looked just like that. I kept it in our fruit bowl for a while, just to gross out my friends!
#3. Should we all send you our best cookie recipes? I have a few tasty ones up my sleeve.
#5. What are you going to do with the mouth wash? I can cope with buying glass and ceramics second hand, but I cannot do plastic. I feel like I can clean the glass better, before using it.
#6. Ted reminds me of a young Ben Folds.
#9. Is that your handwriting? It looks very nice, but I hope you didn't get hand cramps from writing all those invites! I think I need to find a nice handwriting font. My handwriting is probably awful after so little practice, from just typing everything these days. And I'm so out of practice I get handcramps before hardly anything is written!
#10. Morman shorts. I've never heard them called that before.
#11. That pillow so suits!
That yam is a little R rated! Maybe on the border of appropriate. You husband must be great if he does not care about you oogling over other guys like Zac Efron & Robert Pattinson. Just saying.
Anonymous - It's on the "border of appropriate"? Where was it before ;)
Oh...and my husband IS great. He is confident enough to know that celebrity crushes are nothing. Heck, I find him looking at celebrities too. No big deal.
BTW...I am sorry you were offended by a yam.
Target is the awesomeness! I got one of those fuzzy blankets (they have a name darn it but I can't remember) for half off last month. It has a bunch of colored hearts, kinda like your background. The cutest! I totally heart your new blue pillow. Adorable.
You are so funny Lauren, the Yam is hysterical, and your Mormon shorts are super cute, I love capris too, I just cut off two pair of my Hollister jeans and made them into capris! Target pillow is adorable too! I cant wait for Disneyland in two days with our whole family! Your last trip inspred me :)
That yam reminded me of how I'm always self conscious when I'm inspecting cucumbers in the grocery store. Haha! I have such a gutter mind.
"BTW...I am sorry you were offended by a yam." ~your comment just made me giggle out loud & my hubby gave me the dirtiest look so laughing during LOST... so funny, seriously... a yam... hahahaha. k.
your handouts are adorable! love your writing. and love the mouthwash jar. looks like a "i dream of jeanie" jar
I love all your smok'in hott deal finds!
They are all wonderful!
I have never been to Cherry Street antiques and its right by my house I need to start going there apparently!
I want the yam back up. I find it totally appropriate. and totally hilarious.
Awww! The yam is gone!
I love your happy posts...I might just have to copy you because I'm so not creative. Don't worry I'll give you all the credit.
Hi Lauren
I saw your blog from my high school buddy Molly's blog and every other blog I read seems to have you on their friends list. I love reading your blog! I love pocket Edward? I would get one, but my daughter who is 3 would steal it from me! She sat in my lap while I was reading your blog and I showed her edward and then I showed her some twilight clips on youtube and showed her edward again. So now she likes Edward. A friend of mine from high school is going to be singing at borders at SS Mall tomorrow night, she has written some really great songs for the twilight movies and she is trying to get them on one of the soundtracks for them. You should go since you are such a big twilight fan! By the way, I would like to steal your confession idea and put it on my blog. I stayed up until midnight last night reading all those confessions, I loved them! I was in a bad mood because I have an ASS for a father in law and when I read the confessions on your blog, it put me in a way better mood! You are awesome!
Once again another FUN and make me smile post. I like your new pillow, and I like men who can bake. BRILLIANT!
And people talk about sex on your blog? Hilarious! Love it!
xoxo
Katie
going from the top.
i will evernay utpay your urnamesay on the internetsay! pig latin is the pits, i know :)
still, i'd never call you "Stupid Idiot". you're far too awesome for that.
1. cute mirror... Hanny wants!
2. cooookies. i don't care who made them... they look scrumptious :)
3. why is he muddy though? you have to admit, he looked pretty odd at the Oscars. but he was certainly not as awkward as Rob Pattz was... i rest my case.
4. heh. did you toss all that mouthwash, then?
5. i also think i am Paramore. only no one takes pictures of me when i am impersonating Hayley. no one. it's kinda embarrassing.
6. your hair is darling scruffy-like. that wasn't a package from me... bummer! i am not sending you a package for a while, but i will do it... i still owe you a birthday package :) you'll see what i mean in a couple months.
7. is that from HSM3? i still haven't watched it. when can i come over? :)
8. you made them, dearest, of course they're fetching.
9. definition of Mormon shorts? i apologise in advance for my ignorance :) i have shorts like those, too.... does that make them Mormon shorts? can i tell people that?
10. i want Target in South Africa. 'snot fair. *pouts* i didn't mean that snot is fair, by the way... knevermind.
11. there is no eleven. i love you :)
o.O
Lar, your blog is suddenly a sex blog.
*laughs out loud*
i thought the yam was R-rated?
Attention EVERYONE! I would greatly appreciate it if you would refrain from commenting about sex on my blog. If you MUST confess something, please, navigate yourselves to my confession booth; I opened it back up for that very purpose.
I deleted the anonymous comments above me because I found them inappropriate for my younger readers...and let's face it...I have a TON of younger readers. I want my blog to be a place where they can frequent without their parents being worried about something they read here. Again, I apologize. But let's face it...I didn't want to know if you and your husband made a porno. kthanxbye :)
I'm just gonna throw it out there, but I'm willing to bet that if yams had thumbs, the ability to think and an internet connection, they would take pictures of "man-parts" that looked like yams and post it to their super funny blogs.
just sayin...
you dont have to answer this question but ive always wondered if you and ted wear the mormon underwear things....no idea what they are called or if they are required...are they required?
sorry for such a personal question

Hi Anonymous! I went to www.lds.org for how to best give you an answer and here is what I found:
"In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, garments are worn beneath street clothing as a personal and private reminder of commitments to God. Garments are considered sacred by Church members and are not regarded as a topic for casual conversation. "
So, yes. Ted and I wear garments, they are an outward expression of our inner commitment :)
Wow! I love your mormon shorts! I need to get a pair! I also thought that your card was to die for cute!
Oh your invite's are super cute! I had to help my mom make hers for her ward's YW. Ours weren't nearly as cute as yours though! :)
Ok...about a 4 days of reading and I have read through all of your past blogs and am ready to comment! Found this blog through your twilight blog! Loving pocket edward. And I must say, I think you're awesome. You have the most entertaining, well written blogs and I love all yours and your families crazy faces. Also, I'm an interior designer and love your taste in design! Your home is super cute. ok, I commented...now go read my blog! :) it's not as good as yours, but maybe someday!
I just love how you find the cutest things, and how inexpensive they are. I wish I could do that.
i feel like a jerk face since my last blog comment.
do forgive me.
i truly am your biggest fan. in fact, me and a friend were chatting about your awesome blog last night at dinner. we were discussing the awesomeness. and thus, this is why you are listed as "NEW ABSOLUTE FAVORITE" on my blog list.
and um, i love this list.
1. yes, mormon shorts... *sigh* they only look good on skinny mormons- and thus they look good on you.
2. i am depressed because i made stuff for YW new beginnings, too- and it wasnt half as cute, yo!
3. guess what i am watching for the first time ever today? High School Musical ONE. yeah, watched the second one first, and actually thouroughly enjoyed myself. i am shocked at what a fan i am.
oh, and ps. congrats on the fact that you have 130 followers (and most likely MORE who just stalk you silently! - like me! :) )
Lauren can I just tell you how much I love the invitations that you made! I want to be you! xx
i too am a victim of mormon shorts.. i only have one pair, and prefer pants over them, but not much you can do when it's super hot. please don't fall victim to the spaghetti strap over sleeved shirt.. not offense to anyone that does that, but at least make sure the tank top is a thicker one, a couple inches wide.. it is very hard to make the spaghetti strap work
.. haha, i jsut went back to read my comment before i posted it, and my word "pants" i accidently put a "y" instead of a "t". that would have been funny if i did read it over..
ummm... i love the pillow i want it so bad now!! and the mirror is adorable :)
I saw the cute thank-you note at your mom's and she told me about the invitations--you are so talented!
mormon shorts. hee hee. love clearance at target! love target, period. and i'm a LITTLE grossed out about the mouthwash jar. okay a lot grossed out.
love paramore, love the mirror, love your shorts, love the pillow, LOVE YOU!
ps i bet the insane amount of alcohol killed off any creepy antique store germies. still though. wash that out. :)
ps GET A LIFE anonymous's who are lame. cool anon's you can hang. but other who are stupid should leave.
the end.
Who said Zac was gay? I will take her down. I will.
I love you in ways that are almost obscene. Just so you know.
I missed the freaking yam!!!!!
I love the things that make you happy. do ya think Teward would make me some cookies? Those look good enough to make me eat sugar.
I am not of fan of his but wow, Zac Efron looks hot in that pic!
So what did you get in the mail? Twilight stuff?
The invitations you made are really cute!
1. I love love love that mirror. Donde esta Cherry Street Antiques?
4. Don't worry the mouthwash probably killed most of the germs inside the container.
10. Target clearance is my personal favorite, that's where I got a spread and pillows which I absolutely LOVE for 75% off. WOOT!
Zac IS the shiz... or is he covered in shiz? Did someone already point that out? jk (;
Bring it Lula!
My gay sources and gaydar confirm that Zac is indeed gay.
Rewarding myself is my favorite too! You're shorts are adorable, and, yes, you do look married.. Happens to the best of us!
