swoon baby swoon...

readers....this beauty is from WEST ELM.  You need it!

oh and i have been thinking about my previous post on "little girl" rooms.  I would use a HIGH gloss wall finish, to make it seem as if its glass- still the same gray color, with same flat light pink ceiling-  But you could also go fancy for this princess.  Like antique chest (that drawers REALLY worked with ease- we don't want to stress this angel out trying to get to her clothes, do we?), canopy bed, vanity with fabric skirt, heavily weighted and cute button stool, round french mirror (finding one with the bow/ribbon ontop to make it girly) Perfect! i wish i had time to create a blog JUST on THIS take on a little girls room. but i don't today. Use your perfect imagination i know you all have.
What i do have time to do is DROOL over this....

i would be nervous at how long i would LOVE the brass hardware, but i would for SURE do it! I love the white marble, i went with it for our house this summer and am really enjoying it.  I love the backsplash solid and in uniform, i DO LOVE an ALL WHITE kitchen, don't you?

i am happy just from looking at this one. LOVE!

Still cold, still kinda bored, still doing inside things.... Allie is coming AGAIN tonight. yippy skippy!
Me and i my plus one are taking the "warm" road i hope in a pre-heated car to see a little flick!  There isn't one we are dying to see but we ARE IN FACT dying to do "something" so away we will go....don't worry i will keep you posted
  Our bestest Mimi invited us to join her for dinner last night.  I would say it was utterly totally planed CAOS..... When the boys, the little ones anyway, are OFF- the are WAYYYY off.... DaddyC must have plucked the lil' hornet from the kitchen 15 times or more, what he really wanted to do was NOT sit down, instead go to the same table over and over, high five everyone, dance, get an applause, or SOME MORE ATTENTION AND EAT IT UP smiling and laughing 'cause he knows he is cute!  While my biggest monkey "GOD" bless thank child, but the boy can talk, and see Mimi has been vacaying in North Carolina for quite some time now, so we have missed her so.....  He couldn't ask Mimi enough questions, "where is my aunt susu? do they have a lot of roads up there?  What does susu drive? what did y'all do?" whats the little boy's name again? where does he swim? is he coming to play with me and emma?  Then when mimi would come up for air to to try and take a bite of dinner, he would insist "mimi, tell me MORE"  I mean...... Then of course he had to go to the potty.....and ONLY mimi could take him.  So off they went about the time our little lamb decided he had enjoyed ENOUGH cereal bar and pizza crust, he wanted out of the highchair....NO, he wanted his little teethies to pop through his gums and LEAVE HIM ALONE..... Really and truly he wanted his mama to hold him and walk around doing things; as i do all day everyday...... DaddyC and i didn't get to barely thank mimi for a thanks for the invitation for dinner because Guess what!  the boys won!  we SHOVELED the food in as fast as we could, ask for the check and to-go boxes and were out the door...... WOW!
Dear fellow pizza place diners,
sorry, as i am thinking back.... we probably looked like some ravens at our last or FIRST supper.

But, Mimi knows us and loves us just the same.  She knows we will be better, while maybe not NEXT time, SOME time!

I hope you can find a babysitter and head out into the "city" or into a "theater" or a "great new place to eat" or do something fun tonight OUTSIDE your home with or without your plus one BUT FOR SURE without all your scallywags!  Cheers!
