This and That Thursday

{Room with a view}

Gillian Grace has dibs on the downstairs most of the house. Everything, from the shows on the DVR, to the bins under the entryway bench seat, to the occasional Nilla wafer in the dishwasher's silverware separator, scream baby was here! Come to think of it, there's hardly a room in the entire house that doesn't have touches of the world's tiniest tot tornado.

And just in case you needed clarification, we call her the tiny tot tornado because she's into everything!



The tiny tot tornado aftermath...I swear the ribbon was organized!

So before losing the few marbles I have remaining, I've decided to add one more thing to my project list and create a space of my own. My little sanctuary will not have a Zen garden, or working waterfall wall art. And you'll have to look long and hard to find a bamboo plant or bonsai tree, after all, Mr. Miyagi I'm not.  But, it will be a room that's 100% mine!

I'm excited, can you tell?


More details to come, stay tuned!


{Pink and Green Thursdays}


I've never participated in Trish's P and G Thursdays before, which is odd considering that pink and green are (cue Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias), my signature color(s).

But after seeing it on dozens of my favorite blogs, decided that today was a great day to join.

All these photos are from an email my mom sent a few days ago. And to think, I thought watermelon was just a delicious summer fruit!
