It’s a Beautiful Day….

I rarely watch TV, but I do have a few guilty pleasures and one of them (and has been since the premiere) is Flipping Out.  Nothing better than spending a few hours in my bed when a FO Bravo marathon comes on… It’s like a gift from heaven.  Speaking of gifts from heaven… Can we talk about Jeff Lewis for a minute?  Clearly there is not a straight bone in his body… but just look at that face… What a gyp.  If he only played for the other team, we could combine our OCD tendencies to conquer all.
I digress.  The reason that I am writing about Jeff Lewis is because it seems like every place that I call into lately says “It’s a beautiful day at _____.”  or “It’s a great day at ______.”  Has anyone else experienced this?  Just another example of how my gay boyfriend is taking over the world.

My Next DIY.

I have fallen in L-O-V-E with these Loyal Companion Prints.  Just a few issues:  1.) They are no longer available  2.) I can’t afford the $498 price tag if they were.  3.) If I were to spend that much money on a silhouette of a dog, it better be my dog.  So- I am going to attempt to make a silhouette of Bailey.  Wish me luck!

Anna’s party was a blast.  The sun was shining (ok, maybe it was a little too hot, but I’ll take that over rain) and the girls were ready to partaaaay.  Since we scaled down this year, clean-up was a breeze.  And the best party favor, I had bouquets of beautiful flowers filling the house with sweet scents all weekend.  
Party pictures to come.  Happy Monday!

How Can My Baby Be Turning Four?

On Saturday we will celebrate Anna’s fourth birthday.  Today, we will take a stroll down memory lane of birthdays past.
#1.   Cinco de Mayo. (This was long before I started blogging or had a decent camera.)

Keeping my fingers crossed for good weather.  We have a berry sweet girl who’s very excited to celebrate with her friends.

A Change of Hearth.

Our fireplace has bugged me since the day we moved into our house.  Especially now that we have the carrera marble in the kitchen.  I was haunted by the beige marble, the cheap gold details on the doors and the overall lack of character.

I ordered this mother of pearl tile a year and a half ago and FINALLY got around to managing the install.
 We simply removed the hideous doors and voila.  I am in love.
