A room with a view

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a file on there computer or a folder tucked away with ideas and dreams of how you want your house to look like or feel like. My folder(s) seems to get bigger and bigger all the time.

My new favorite show is "9 by Design" on Bravo. I'm no interior decorator, nor will I ever be one or have the talent for it, but I appreciate beautiful home design inside & out.

When I came across this picture it went straight into my home folder. I've always loved the look of these chairs and the exaggerated drapery and don't get me started on wallpaper. Yes I know it's so circa 1980 :) I'm a huge fan of it, but our walls are pretty heavily textured though I did find out that with backing paper it might just be possible! If we decide to do the addition on the house some day (i.e. more kids=more space) (another i.e...no I'm not announcing anything:) this kitchen table would be loverly! and I know now that with little ones dark cushions is the only way to go and I love the contrast of dark and light. Nate Berkus would be disappointed, but my flowers in the vase would probably be silk and not fresh. I'm not Oprah!:))

The past couple of weeks I've been doing some home projects...I'll share some pictures soon.

Life's Good

Mother's Day was absolutely wonderful. As a girl growing up you always wonder and imagine what life will be like when you have kids. There is no Motherhood 101 book to explain how it all works, it's a daily quest and you learn as you go. I am pretty sure every mother wonders at some point why their child chose them and what they can do for their child that no one else can.Saylor & Sawyer have already taught me more life lessons then any professor could teach, to not sweat the small things but to embrace them and most of all the meaning of unconditional love! My mother's day was memoriable and beautiful.

wow he's a keeper

i'm lucky these two call me mommy

my two cute boys

it was basically impossible to get a good picture with mommy, but i just love saylors pose

Mommy Daughter day

It's not very often that I'm able to spend alone time with just one child. Saylor & I were able to have a mommy daughter day, so I took her to Magic Kingdom, and what a magical time we had! She met the princesses for the first time, and grinned from ear to ear! It was so special to share the day with Saylor. I took advantage of every minute!

Sawyer's "Buggy" 1st Birthday

My little bug isn't so little anymore. Because we were flying back on his actually birthday, Jan. 4th, we celebrated the day before with all of our friends and family in Utah. I know they say kids grow up fast, but I guess with two it seemed to fly even faster. Sawyer loved all the attention and unlike his sister, he loved every minute of his cake and couldn't get enough! It's true what they say about boys loving to be dirty and messy! It was a special birthday to remember. We love you Sawyer "bug"!

Christmas 2009

Christmas, New Years, Birthdays, Anniversarys OH MY! The Holidays have come and gone, and "oh what fun" it was! We headed out west to Utah for a white Christmas. It was so great to have daddy for two whole weeks! And the best part was his laptop wasn't working, which meant we really had him by ball & chain!:) Just like every Christmas it was filled with joy, laughter, the spirit, and so much family! This year it seemed there was a little bit more of it all, and I felt so blessed to be where I am , who I am, and to have my friends and family around me. Of course Santa spoiled everyone way too much, but the kids were all smiles, and Saylor has mastered the art of "opening". Here's a little glimpse into our Christmas ~
