I dread getting family photos taken and I only have one child. I can't imagine what it must be like for those of you that have several. This year we had my friend April Haymore take our photos at the State Fair and Little L was being a pill...we tried ice, cotton candy, snacks and we were able to get a few good shots but it was difficult. April was a good sport and she did an amazing job.

HAPPY DAYS

Little L is so happy all the time. She is so much fun and I'm so glad I have her in my life!
I was excited to find these paintings on Etsy by Vallerie Galloway. My love for art has increased significantly now that I have walls to hang them.





O.k. look at these amazing items I found on ebay 1. Mirror
2. Coffee Table 3. Chair.  I absolutely  love the old Hollywood Regency look.

Check out the new Ottoman my husband made me for my birthday. I have walked into my living room at least 10 times in the last 24 hours to check it out. I love it!

Little L wanted to wish you a Happy Labor Day. O.k. not really; her Mom made her dress up in a dress from her childhood as she made weird faces following her around the house with her camera and now her Mother wants to show off the photos.

I have been obsessing over this rug for awhile now and finally found a deal on... hmm, should I tell you...nope, not gonna do it. I can't wait to be the proud owner.


Saw this painting on Black Eiffel and I fell in love. How cool would it be if the silvers were in metallic? O.k.,  I've been in a metallic phase for about a year now hopefully the phase stays for awhile because I'm using it everywhere.



Little L is getting so big! What happened to my little baby?
Sometimes I sit in my office wondering what it would be like to stay at home with my little girl, go on lunch dates, be part of a jogging group and then I remember...

I found this in an old yearbook and thought it was funny. Click on image to view.

I don't know if any of you have been following Design star but I have and I love it. I liked Emily's style from the beginning. HGTV has been needing a star that can pull of urban chic and she's the perfect canidate. I love what she does with this space; spacially she nailed it. I wish you could see how she pulled off the rest of the room because it was amazing. I really hope she wins the final challenge because like I said, she would be a great addition to the HGTV line-up.
