puppy, pretty please?

if only i could convince lovebird of this...

why do i want a puppy so badly?

i have always had a dog in my life... until i married lovebird.

{he's a real stinker.}

anyone have any tricks in convincing husbands that homes need a dog?

{more like i need a dog. but, still.}

lovebirds isn't as bad as i'm making him out to be-

he just had a rough go with dogs growing up and is somewhat scared.

slowly but surely, i'm erasing that scar of his.

he's now considering one breed. 

{and that one breed only}

which, seems to be impossible to find anywhere near us. 

however, my fingers remain crossed for lovebird to wake up one day and say,

"we need a dog."

and to that, i'll say, "finally!!"

lovebirds conditions in getting a dog:

{these are not a joke, he is dead serious.}

1. the dog will be groomed once every two weeks, and bathed weekly.

2. the dog must be a boy.

3. the dog will not step foot on our couches.

4. the dog will not be fed human food.

5. the dog won't be allowed to sleep in our bed.

6. lastly, the dog will never jump up on guests.

obviously, these all stem from bad experiences and memories. 

but, who's to say a cute little puppy can't change his mind

and exceed his expectations?

i have my work cut out for me in convincing him.

but, i have no doubt that once i do-

he'll fall completely in love with our dog and they'll be best friends.

after all, a dog is a man's best friend.

i have a feeling i'm already preaching to the choir on this topic,

but please cross your fingers that lovebird joins this choir... and soon!

happy weekend!

enjoy walking and playing with your pups! 

i am beyond jealous. 

five senses.

this week according to my five senses:

touch:today's technology is all about touch.

this week, that was apparent in my life;

a new iphone and ipad due to an unfortunate event and the need for "e-books".

{thank goodness i'm married to mr. apple.}

taste: latest discovery: scharffen berger chocolate.

it's heaven in your mouth.  literally.

i bought this one. i'm a total sucker for milk chocolate.  

see:is there one person you are just dying to see at the moment?

i would give anything to see my little brother right now.

only 18 months left... i can do it, right?

hear:i'm taking a music class this semester.

i'm the geek who actually enjoys and loves the class.

listening to examples of classical music in class, is right up my alley. 

smell:thanks to my birchbox samples of perfume, my love 

{or rather addiction} 

to perfume has certainly grown a great deal.

i'm now utterly in love with " viva la juicy la fleur" and"hello" by harvey prince.

i'd love to hear your five from the week.

be certain to link up or comment below so i can discover your list.

stumped on a hump.

today, i'm stumped:

stumped on what to write about.

also, stumped because i'm exhausted.

so,i guess it's cheers to it being hump day.

i hope you are overcoming your week's tiredness,

the midweek blues, and the feeling of wishing friday was already here.

i certainly trying to. 

sorry for the boring post of words-

instead, i thought i'd enlighten you with a photo from this and this shoot. 

we truly had so much fun.

even waking up at 3:00 a.m. to get ready and strip down 

to nothing but our leaotards in the morning's brisk chill.

today, i'd make any excuse to go climb a mountain in pointe shoes and leotards.

anything to get over this midweek stump of mine. 

i may not physically be in yosemite today,

but i'm certainly there in my mind.

again, happy hump day.

where is your happy place at the moment?

p.s. can you tell which one is me? extra love points for you, if you can!  

polka dot.

tuesday's inspiration:

are you picking up on the huge polka dot trend going on at the moment?

dots and spots are everywhere. 

yes, everywhere. 

here are a few of my favorites:

1. how adorable is this wall paper? 

{can i move in tomorrow?}

2. i'd take these in any and every color they come in.

3. this is the perfect tutorial for cute dotted nails. 

4. dots galore from head to toe. love it all. 

5. if only i could have both her blouse and her skirt. 

{practically perfect, i tell you.}

6. j.crew has done it right again. am i surprised? no. 

7. why not spruce up some furniture with these knobs.

8. i'd kill for this clutch. 

{figuratively speaking, obviously.} 

i could go on for days. i really could.

polka dots are every where in sight,

 and i'm completely in love with them.

are you?

it's over already?

thumbs up to a new week.

the weekend has come and gone.

{believe it or not}

a fun weekend jam packed with dance, friends,

a baseball game, chocolate cake, dinner dates, church, 

swimming, homework, snuggles from lovebird and late nights.

our ballet company did a little event at the baseball game this weekend.

we really had a blast.

baseball games, friends, hot dogs and tutus are a recipe for fun.

check out more pictures on instagram!

{username: eleasejane or CentralWBallet.}

how was your weekend?

tell me your instagram name below, so i can catch up on 

the snapshots from your fun weekend.

lastly, can you believe september is knocking at our doors already!?

i'm in shock at how time seems to be escaping rather than just passing by.

since it's a new month and fall seems to bring on a new beginning,

 i'm looking to add some new faces {aka buttons} to my blog;

if you are interested in a swap and/or sponsorship email me at:

thelittlelovebirds.blog@gmail.com

i hope to hear from you very soon.

cheers to a new week, instagram, ballerinas at baseball games 

and sharing some blog love. 

xoxo

life in five.

life according to my five senses:

see: pretty little liars.

yep, currently my guilty pleasure. 

is anyone else addicted? 

smell: isn't it funny how school has a smell? literally. it's always so distinct.

 i think it's a mix of sweaty bodies, cleaning supplies, girls perfume and dry erase markers. 

gross? kind of. 

taste: my tastebuds are craving pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and all fall spices. 

hurry up and get here already! i don't know how much longer they can wait. 

touch: i can hardly touch my muscles right now.

they ache and cramp in every which way.

a big thanks to ballet. {one day i'll really thank you.}   

hear:i'm currently obsessed with "the weepies" spotify station.  

it plays all the right songs according to the mood i've been in lately. 

alright, now it's your turn.

tell me what your senses have been up to lately.

leave a comment below or link up! 

hi-ho, hi-ho, it's back to school i go.

back to school.

back to school i go.

first day of school, which also means the last day of summer.

sure, i'm sad to say goodbye to days by the pool, 

bbq dinners, adventures, sunscreen, lazy sunday nights, 

free time, staying up late and sleeping in.

but, boy am i ready to say hello to reading, text books, learning and 

walking around on campus while enjoying the changing of seasons. 

remember being a little kid, so excited for the first day of school?

new outfit, new backpack, new shoes, new teacher....

you are already to go... 

until you realize you've been tossing and turning and can't seem to fall asleep-

all due to a little set of nerves that creep up on you.

i hated that feeling as a kid.

but wait, i still kind of get those jitters the night before.

am i the only one?

maybe i haven't grown up yet.

growing up is overrated,

because let's face it, who doesn't love a new outfit for school?

a fresh new backpack? a pair of adorable ballet flats for campus walking?

and meeting those crazy yet genius professors?

i certainly do.

if never growing up, means i always get to go to school,

or learn something new on a daily basis...

count me in. 

back to school i go. 

happy as can be. 

happy first day of school!

cheers to being in school, textbooks, nerves and learning.

xoxo
