Eggcellent Weekend!

Good Monday morning! We had a wonderful weekend despite the weather. Saturday night was spent dyeing Easter eggs, enjoying pizza, and lots of laughter. Sunday morning we made our usual big breakfast and relaxed while Jackson enjoyed his first Easter basket. Later on we went to the park, sushi, and home for a little Easter egg hunt. How was your holiday weekend?

Have a great day!

He's One!

My little guy turned one last week. We celebrated on Sunday, what a great day! Both grandmas were able to make it, which was really important. Jackson loved all the attention. He even remembered to take a break from all the activity and smell the flowers. He's becoming quite the character. I love that kid!

due to crazy winds, we celebrated indoors, in his new playroom! This is a close up of his tee-pee and chalkboard wall. I'm still adding the finishing touches to the room.

trying to catch a balloon!

his birthday crown and special spider-man tee

and of course, smelling the flowers.

New Blog Love!

I'm doing my little happy dance this morning. I stumbled upon the most wonderful blog Little Blue Deer! All of the images below I found via this beautiful blog, and I promise this is only a very, very small sampling. I didn't know where to begin. I just started clicking and saving frantically, like maybe her blog would disappear, and I would be left devastated! So, if you are burned out on your usual sites for inspiration, make sure to check out Little Blue Deer. The sooner the better!

Make It Monday!

I found this image via sfgirlbybay, I love it! I have a couple of old shoe forms, and haven't been able to find the right use for them. Now I know. My necklaces currently hang on hooks behind the closet door... BORING! This DIY projects looks easy enough don't ya think??

Happy Monday!

WedETSYday!

Today is a gloomy, snowy, cold day. Of course my mind travels right to food! When I clicked on Etsy this morning, and saw these images~ I knew they would be the focus of this week's WedETSY! I can picture it now, either "Something's Gotta Give" or "It's Complicated" playing on the television, me in my pj's, Jackson enjoying a lengthy nap, and me indulging in these yummies! Go to Etsy, and Sparkles Kitchen and order yourself or a friend a package of these delicious looking french macarons!

Progress with the Redo

Well, I managed to make it over to my niece's this past weekend despite the crazy, snowy weather! Although we weren't able to accomplish everything ( heart picture headboard), we did make some great progress! I need to retrieve the "before" picture from my cell phone and post. The room was originally painted a tealish blue! Here are a few of the "after" photos. I think she's pretty happy with the results. What do you think?

here is a pic of the metallic striped walls, the new panels, and the capiz shell pendant!

crown moulding shoe rack painted high gloss watermelon, new storage shelves, baskets, and labels

the vanity we painted a very pale pink, and re-covered the seat cushion in a silver metallic fabric

she needed a new laundry bag, so this is what I came up with...

and here is a close up pic of the storage bin labels that I made. The back side of the labels coordinate with the laundry bag.


More pics to come!
