I made this card yesterday, and thought it turned out so cute....so I thought I would share...

hummmm....

i left the room and when i came back {b/c Lilly was crying}, i found this....





i wonder how she got in there?...

Lilly's room part 2...

Lilly is officially out of our room {not gonna lie, i missed seeing her silly face this morning when i woke up} It's probably a good thing, for me, I feel much more rested today. She has been waking me up throughout the night for the past year...yes year, even in the womb I would wake up with every toss and turn she would make....Anyways I think she loves it. I do. Her face did light up a little bit when she saw her toys, {finally not in my closet anymore}....so we did end up painting stripes on the closet wall {well matt did the painting, i did the touch up}, and Matt did such an awesome job, aaannndd he framed the window {so proud of him} .....





There's still lots to do in terms of decorations, I'm thinking a trip to Hobby Lobby is in order...but the hardest part is done.

Loves.

When did my 2 babies get to be so big?

Lilly's room part 1

The picture below is NOT Lilly's room, just my inspiration....

We started painting Lilly's room last week...And I knew I wanted the stripes...

Here's a couple before pictures. {see how happy she is, so glad her mommy gave up her craft space, but I'm not giving up the closet}

I picked out tons of pink's and narrowed it down to two. I'm not typically a "pink" kinda girl, so I knew I didn't want a soft sweet baby pink. So after much debate, and a skype conference with my mom, {although I'm not sure why I asked her, when I look back at pictures of my room from when I was a little girl I'm horrified, and my sister will agree} we went with the darker of the two..
and tada! one wall is all we did...I love it, but I know the whole room will just be to much, but one wall is not enough. Her room is tricky, it has five walls...soo do I stop at the window wall? or do i wrap around the closet side?
Below is the closet side as you can see it's not a huge room/wall and her dresser will most likely be on this wall.

So I'm asking- Do we paint more stripes? b/c they are cute? or do we stop and call it a day?? and we still need to frame her window, hopefully {fingers crossed} we will get to do that this weekend {Matt got an air compressor for Christmas and i know he's dying to use it...right babe..wink wink} and then maybe the kitchen window, since were gonna be getting the stuff anyways....muahaha

2011 goals

I've been debating if I should share "my" goals for 2011. I've never really set goals and this year I really wanted too. All of them sound surprisingly simple (except run a marathon) but they are things I struggle with everyday. I'm hoping that by posting them for all to see I will do better with sticking with them.



I'm going to print them up and post them somewhere in my house. That way I can see them everyday. Hopefully by the end of this year I'll be a better person spiritually and physically...and a better mother and wife.
