Hello everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful week. We are still waiting on Baby Holmes to make her appearance – arghh! Maybe this weekend – just in time for Easter! As I mentioned in my last post I have not spent any time on my computer this past week and am still behind on all of my e-mails, convos and blog reading but I just wanted to pop in real quickly to share a giveaway with you all.

 I hope you all are having a wonderful week. Sorry- I have literally spent all of ten minutes on my computer these past few days so I still haven’t finished catching up on e-mails and am way behind on blog reading but I just wanted to do a quick post with the last of my Easter projects this year.

It is so nice having the back porch cleaned up! We have eaten dinner out there every night this week. The weather has been beautiful and it is so peaceful eating out there. The only problem is keeping Lillie in her seat. Every time any animal or bird makes an appearance she wants to go play with it!

 

 

Ever since I was little I have always LOVED wrapping gifts. I remember one Christmas back in college where I spent almost as much wrapping each gift as I did on the gifts themselves.  I am pretty sure my siblings (who were around ages 12 – 16 at the time) did NOT appreciate that and wished I had of just spent the extra money on their actual gifts!

Well, this weekend we finally added the branch to the nursery so it is now completely done. Now we just need our little munchkin to hurry up and get here. Just three and a half more weeks until she’s due, but I am certainly hoping she comes a little bit earlier.  When we did the branch in Lillie’s room a month or so ago we got a lot of questions about how we did it, so I am going to do my best to show you.

Welcome to stop number three on the Parade of Homes presented by Poppies at Play.  
  

 

We are so excited to be a stop on this Parade of Homes. First we will show you the downstairs.
When you walk into our home you first see the living room and dining room:

 

From there you enter our kitchen:

 

Our family room is off of the kitchen:

And off of the family room and kitchen is a screened in porch:
 

 

 

Then when you head upstairs the first room is our two year old daughter’s room: 

 

 

Next is our guest bathroom:

 

The next room was our guest bedroom but we just changed it to a nursery last month (which we will show you next):

We just finished getting the guest room changed into a nursery/guest bedroom (in fact I have one more project which I will post later this week) and can’t wait for our little girl to arrive:

And last here is our master bedroom and master bathroom:
