Blair's big girl room

Friday, January 3, 2014

     I have a couple of crafty friends who have the cutest nurseries ever and so I'm planning on featuring them every Friday for the month of January. I don't know about you but I LOVE checking out adorable baby rooms. First up is actually going to be Blair's room since it's thisclose to being finished. She still loves her crib and more importantly stays in it so we haven't transitioned her out of that yet. However, I did update her color scheme to a more "grown up" palette. I'm loving the new look and hope she is too!











this wall was actually featured on HomeGoods instagram page!

you've got to have friends

a picture of M and me while B was in my tummy

i added a bit of glitter to her bathroom




Hope you enjoyed the tour of her big girl room and I look forward to showing you the completed curtains (did you notice I only had enough ribbon for one side?) and bumper. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

2014 Resolutions

Thursday, January 2, 2014

Ah the good ol' resolution list. You can see what I hoped to accomplish last year here. Funny how some of the same things reappeared this year too. I guess I'm always striving for improvement. ;)


1. be more consistent with my devos...like do them everyday BEFORE blogging
2. create weekly meal plans... no more realizing it's 4:30 pm and i have no idea whats for dinner
3. scratch carbs out of our dinners...a whole plate of pasta for dinner just is not necessary.
4. read more fiction...I heard divergent is good!
5. be more on top of my blog...map out a plan of action each week/month
6. stay on track with our budget
7. spend more quality time with Blair...and less time "getting stuff done" like laundry, running errands, texting etc. 
8. visit far away friends more...plan to see them once every 3 months
9. start scrap booking again. Finish a page a week. this is ambitious.
10. be more selfless. put others needs above my own. and ask for forgiveness. only Jesus can help me accomplish these things!



And there you have it! I decided to actually write the above list and keep it on my desk for some accountability/motivation. I hope you have a Happy New Year. 2014 is going to be awesome and I really appreciate all of my sweet readers who support me every day. You guys make my day!
