A Sneak Peek of the Nursery and a GIVEAWAY!!!!

 Wow, it has been another busy week here! I have been working on something I will post about on Tuesday so I haven’t been on my computer practically at all for the past several days! And I probably won’t be on much again until next week. If you have sent us an e-mail, convo, or facebook message I will get back to you by the middle of next week.  I accidentally hit delete on our entire inbox the other day and had to weed through the deleted box  – which I hadn’t emptied in a while – yikes – and attempt to restore everything that was in our inbox but I know I missed a few.

An Audrey Hepburn Invitation and Miss Mustard Seed

 (Sorry for the blurry picture…I have been trying to shoot Lillie in our new Calla Tutu for two weeks and she has not been cooperative. 

Sadly, that’s the best of the bunch and you can’t even see the tutu and it’s out of focus.)

Yesterday was one of those nice, relaxing, wonderfully simple days!  Our life has been pretty hectic lately.

This is what our third bedroom has looked like since shortly after moving into our home. We have used it as a guest bedroom but now it is time to turn it into a nursery – yay! I am so excited to start working on a nursery again but am a little sad to see our guest bedroom go.

Pink Overload and a Paper Fan Medallion Tutorial

I have never decorated for Valentine’s Day before. I am not sure if it is because I have Lillie now or maybe it was getting the Silhouette Machine for my birthday, but for some reason I thought it would  be fun to do this year. I didn’t want to spend much money and I wanted to use mostly black and white with a little hint of pink.

An Inexpensive, Easy Valentine’s Gift with a “Sort-Of” Recipe

Today Lillie and I made some Valentine’s gifts.

Back in either high school or college I was baking one day and mid-way through realized I was short on ingredients (sadly I still do that all of the time – just ask poor Jon about the chicken I made the other night!) and just randomly decided to start improvising and then for some reason decided to roll the batter and dip it in chocolate (I don’t even remember what it was I was attempting to bake, it was so long ago, maybe peanut butter fingers?) Anyway, I devoured them and they quickly became my FAVORITE snack and soon I got my family addicted to them too.
