A big thanks to Lil Sugar who featured Lou’s party last week.  If you are a Momma and have not checked out this site, stop reading and hop over now.  You are seriously missing out.  From the same peeps who brought us POPSUGAR, Lil Sugar is sure to be “Mommy’s Little Helper.”

Fashion Friday: AT’s Sunny Summer Accessories.

Today is my baby’s last day of First Grade.  I can’t even stand it.  I feel like it was just yesterday that I was sending her on the bus for the first time.  The good news is that summer is officially here and with a few vacations planned this summer I am searching for some H-O-T summer accessories.  Look no further than Ann Taylor.  They took my breath away with their new jewelry collection this Spring.. and if you thought those pieces were amaze-balls, check out some of these…

Not Your Typical Model Home.

I have an addiction to houses.  Seriously, it’s a problem.  Perhaps it’s because I am a Realtor’s daughter and so many of my childhood memories were spent at open houses.  If allowed, I could spend an entire Sunday fluttering from one open house to another.  Unfortunately, my schedule doesn’t permit that, but on  a whim a stopped by an open house by M/I Homes in a new development near us.  Generally, when walking through an open house I am overly critical of the over-the-top decor and fake ficus trees.  Not this house.  This one stopped me in my tracks.  This was the only open house that I have ever been in that I could move into as is.    Here are some of the highlights (taken with my iPhone…)
 The family room which took my breath away.
 Just look at that ceiling!
 I loved all of the furniture.
 The kitchen.  Complete with Carrara marble tile.
The kitchen eating area.
Just look at this porch off of the kitchen!
 The dining room.
Look at these gorgeous stairs!

 One of three guest bathrooms upstairs.
Entryway to the basement.
The Bar.
Loved this Media Room.
There are many more rooms that I did not snap, like the home gym, umpteen bathrooms and additional GBR.  Sure, I’d make a few changes, but a tip of the hat to you, M/I Homes… You knocked this one out of the park!
