Blue Egg Brown Nest - Featured!!!

A Big THANK YOU to Blue Egg Brown Nest...

    Christen featured us on her blog Blue Egg Brown Nest for favorite things Friday yesterday and I am just beyond excited!
    I have been a reader of hers for some time and LOVE LOVE LOVE her DIY inspiration and creative spirit. She is truly a gifted interior designer and I hope to some day be as good as her at refinishing furniture!
 
I also want to congratulate our winner of the 24" DIY Vine Monogram!!!! I cannot wait to see what you will do with your new monogram!
 
 
Christen started her post with this....
Nate Burkus says that items in your home just look more high end when they are monogrammed.
 
so head on over to Happy Clam Monogram or our shop on ETSY and MONOGRAM YOUR LIFE! :) and be sure to LIKE us on Facebook!
 
Thanks for reading!

Happy Birthday MR Happy Clam!

This past year has been absolutely crazy for the Happy Clam household! 
 
 I just wanted to pause and wish my MR a Happy Birthday! 
 
Not every day is perfect, but thats what makes us grow and these past 8 years have been the best 8 years of my life. I have watched my best friend grow in so many ways, and I am SO proud of the man he's become!
 
I was going through old pics and pulled a few of my favorites! I tried to pick ones that really capture what a truly amazing man I have the priveledge of being married to! ( and all of his OH SO amazing qualities!)
 
this is from our senior year at ECU an oldie but one of my favs! LOVE those BLUE eyes!

My favorite thing about Michael is his sense of humor! He is so quick and witty!
these next 2 are just goofy!

candy corn teethies!

We always do the hold the camera out pics! I made a scrapbook of us years ago and there are 2 pages of nothing but these pics- heres one of the most recents from my brothers wedding!
 
He is SO supportive in every way...

 
He is the BEST daddy a boy could ask for!

 
and oh so thoughtful! Love Flowers just because its "Sunday" :)

 
 
He knows how to relax.... or "kick it" as he says...

 
and puts up with the many "photo ops" that I just HAVE to get!

REAL men wear PINK!!

 
Watching him with Mason just melts my heart, he loves to show him new things and to take him places he spent time as a child.
 
 
He LOVES to try new recipes! This was New Years Eve 2011, we made Beef Wellington and it could not have been more perfect! He always says the only woman he would even leave me for is Paula Deen!

 
He puts up with my tendency to OVER PACK! and my long list of faults... and does so with a HUGE SMILE on his face :)

 
I just put this in there because I just LOVE it! This was taken in the hospital when Mason was born.  

 
 
He is a big kid at heart!
 
I Love You SO much MR HAPPY CLAM! You are a wonderful husband, father, friend, and so much more. I am so greatful for you and the life we've built together. I can't wait to see what this next year has in store for you, and our family!
 
LOVE YOU!! Happy 29th Birthday!! :)
