August 31.

Eleven years ago today, I became engaged to this guy.
Ten years ago today I married him.
Seven years ago today, I lost this lady.
Five years ago today I found out that I was carrying this one in my belly.

A bittersweet day, indeed.

That’s What I’m Talking About.

Last year I wrote about the amazing wallpaper from Black Crowe Studios.  Well, check out some recent installations of their papers.
Is this room not TO DIE FOR?  It was designed by Robert Passal for the Hampton Designers Showhouse.
 This color combo has me weak in the knees.
 Loving the purple and emerald as well.
Okay, okay… I love them all.

Minted.

Lately, I have become a big fan of Revlon’s nail polish.  Last week I posted this picture on Instagram and I can’t tell you how many people asked what nail color I was wearing.  
 Seriously, even the little old lady in the Dr.’s office wanted a piece of the action.  Well, here it is…

Buy it here.

First Day of School.

 Somebody is officially a second grader today.

Lou couldn’t be bothered to get our of her jammies to walk Sissy to the bus stop.

E creeped into our bed early this morning and confessed that she was really nervous.

But I know she is going to do just fine.  We are so proud of you, E-Burger!

Fashion Friday: CrewCuts Back to School.

I admit it, I am a sucker for CrewCuts.  I think my girls have more J. Crew than I do.  I just can’t walk away.  The good news is that everything I buy there lasts for a few seasons so I feel good about the money spent.  Have you seen the latest catalog?  Ugh.
As my girls are headed back to school on Monday, here are some of my favorite pieces for Fall.
