For the Time Being.

We have Derek's birthday party this weekend so naturally we have people coming over to help us celebrate. Since I haven't been able to select the pictures yet that I want to put in the picture frames in the living room, I knew I needed to come up with a quick solution. In comes - wallpaper.


I've had these wallpaper samples in my basement on my "decorating" shelf and figured its a good time to use them.


I have to admit, I kind of like it! At least it's a solution for now and so that I don't have to answer the question .... "so what pictures are going in there?" or "where are your pictures?"

Scrub a Dub Dub.

A few weeks back we visited family friends with my parents. We were all together, and while there my sister offered to give Alexis a bath. Please note that we do not bath our daughter when we usually go and visit people haha! But we have known them our whole life ... seriously ... they're practically our extended family. So they didn't care, and they have a HUGE tub in their bathroom. From the pictures you will realize that Alexis had the time of her life .... and didn't want to get out! It was practically a swimming pool for her!

Looking like Christmas?

We woke up this morning to find lots of this stuff. It's finally beginning to look like December Christmas!

 

Hangin' In There.

Only took one picture of our new photo wall, as you can see we still need to get some pictures in them. I'm in the process of picking and choosing pictures. This was quite the task to do with a busy toddler running around trying to help! I had to do a lot of measuring and used painters tape to make the marks and level everything out. I think they turned out pretty good!

No Time No Time.

I have an updated picture of the picture wall in the living room. However I've had absolutely no time to put it up on here with Alexis running around. Seems she enjoys changing up her naps each day so I never know what time she will sleep at! Poor girl is either teething or getting a little cold, not to mention she got her flu shot last night! To say the least it was a really rough night for us! When I get a chance I will pop that picture up! Until then, enjoy the snow!

R.I.P

Good-bye paper whites. You were beautiful to look at, but man you smelled bad and got worse each day. So sorry, but I don't want my kitchen to smell like cat urine anymore. Farewell and adieu.

Very Excited!

I WON! I actually WON something on a blog giveaway. You have to understand that I never win anything! No lotto ticket wins, draws ... I'm just not a lucky person, but today I went to check my e-mails and found this:

Congratulations on winning our giveaway hosted by Centsational Girl! If you just let me know your full name, address and stencil choice (up to $50), we can ship out your prize in the next day or two!



I am soooo excited! So sure enough I go on over to their website and which one did I pick out? Well of course the Casablanca Allover Stencil - the one I had been looking at awhile ago but thought that perhaps I could re-create the look myself. Here's what it looks like:
 
 

 

I can't wait to get it in the mail and use it!
