YIkes, has it really been 4 months since I have updated you on the kiddos! OH my, well I feel like I have missed so much that has taken place over the past few months, but I think it would take me forever to go back and recap, so moving forward, here is the most recent of these two great loves of my life.Acting oh so chill!Carter 35 mths / Dannika 15 mthsShowing mommy where her eyes are.I would have included the nose, but for some reason the finger always disappears in the nose,instead of remaining on the outside :)~Kisses~The best part is now she will lean to him for a kiss while they are playingjust because she loves being with him :)Ohh it's so cute!~Acting silly~I really don't understand ...

To Paint or Not to Paint?

Well, it's been pretty cloudy here this past week, which doesn't help when you are trying to take indoor photos. I was really hoping to get some taken of the living room rug and lamps I got to show you that progress, and then this past weekend the chair rail went up in the dining room, and it totally dresses the room up, but also makes for some painting dilemmas. Which leads me to my next question: "To paint, or not to paint?" I need your HELP!!!! In the form of feedback, PLEASE :) ... Read More about To Paint or Not to Paint?

I have a L O V E for Navy!To me it's the perfect balance of casual sophistication.It can be formal :or it can be casual:either way... I am totally crushing on this deep blue hue right now.And it's starting to show :)I love it on furniture:... as a wall color:... for an accent piece:... or for an outfit:(all images captured on Pinterest)It's funny, I didn't really notice until I started looking around my house and my wardrobe,how much this nautical color has infiltrated throughout my life over the last few years ;)I know Navy isn't for everyone,but do you have a color that seems to be the main theme throughout your life right now?Has it carried over from your wardrobe to your interiors?Or ...

Well, that's what Old Navy has them down as...Pop Pants.These lovely colorful jeans you see just about everywhere right now.There all over the racks.So, what are your thoughts on this hot trend right now?!At first, I wasn't a huge fan, then I was on the edge,and now I'm in love. Really liking the watermelon and coral colored ones.Although the green ones have caught my eye too.There is still a small thought that runs through my head for a brief moment saying"Oh.My.Gosh this is so 80's I don't think I can do it."But here's a photo of "present" day SJP totally pulling off the colored jeans:And here she is circa 1983*ish :So I guess if she can get over it, I can try to as well.What are your ...

So I think the one common theme question I get asked the most is:"Where does she find the time?"In a round about way, this question comes in various forms of,"I don't how you do it?", "How do you do this with little kids?", or my favorite...."I didn't know you had so much free time on your hands!"HA, that is something I always wish I have more of,and usually in the form ofquiet, peaceful, and alone.Sorry babe, I do love spending wonderful time with my husband,and I love being able to stay home with my kids,BUTI do love to be left alone with my thoughts :)I think everybody deserves a little quiet time to keep their insanity.But back to the question,you asked, and so I'll answer.It's kind ...

So, I mentioned last weekend that we were headed to IKEA,to finally purchase some items that had beenon a list for w-a-y to long.I showed you herewhat I was looking to get to add to the dining room, to add some variety, texture,and make things warmer.Since getting these lovely ladies last weekend(including in the store)I think I have mentioned over a dozen times,how much I L O V E these chairs.Every time I glance in our dining room now and see them,they make me smile :)ohhh,I think my husband (and everyone else I've told)probably thinks I'm crazy by now.. but I really do love these chairs.They fit perfect, were exactly what I was hoping for,and are so comfortable.I didn't purchase ...

Ok, let me first say, sorry for my lack of posts these last few weeks.Things don't seem to be busy, but if I look at my lack of blog posts, I guess they are.Well time for an update.I have been hot on the search for all things white,can I just put a side note in here :"Why is it that when you aren't looking for something, you see it everywhere,and when you are looking for it, it's nowhere to be found?"UGH.The great thing though about hunting for white things,is I know I will always find them,because they never go out of style :)(insert sigh of relief)And it takes time when you are on a budget.Can't go broke overnight.So earlier this week I picked up a few things to starttransforming ...

Well, the title pretty much about sums it up. Months ago I ran across this list, from a sweet blogger I follow, and being a list person myself, I was instantly drawn in. If you're not a list freak like me, than you might not understand my explicit joy that comes from this process, but nonetheless I encourage you to read on. For some reason lists bring peace of mind for me. And writing them out is even more helpful. Sometimes when I can't sleep, I write lists. Sometimes when I have too many thoughts in my head, I write lists. Sometimes when I'm bored I write lists. And sometimes when things feel chaotic, I W.R.I.T.E. lists. They are super helpful for me, and I liked the challenge of ... Read More about 35 by 35

So last week, I had a fantastic night out with two of my favorite ladies.Not only was it refreshing to spend time with them,bought I got to browse and shop WITHOUTthe kids :) I love spending time withmy kids, but I think anyone can agree how important itis to have a break.So since neither of them had been we headed to hobby lobby, probably one ofmy all time favorite stores.They have so many cool things there, and such a wide variety, it's a one stop shop in my mind. AND they always have these great 50% off sales,who can beat that.So while we were there, I scored this very goldserving platter, but before I evenput it in my cart I knew what I was doing with ...
