{month of thanksgiving} Day 3: Cozy Corners

Day 3: Today I’m thankful for this cozy corner in the nursery.  I like to sit in the rocking chair and daydream about how I’d like to decorate the room.  So many items to purchase and projects to DIY…which will all get done, little by little.  Until then, I’ll just rock with my Little Miss.

{month of thanksgiving} Day 2: My Husband

Day 2: Today I’m thankful for a husband who buys me roses “just because”. He tells me I’m beautiful, even when I’m feeling like I’m not.  He makes me laugh everyday.  We are celebrating seven years of marriage this month…I can’t imagine going through life with anyone else.

{recording life} A Month of Thanksgiving: Day 1


I don’t know about you, but the month of October was a total blur.  Maybe it has something to do with that sweet baby girl in the house?  The next two months are absolute favorites of mine though, and I really, really want to enjoy them.  So in an attempt to slow down and relish my favorite time of year, I’m going to start making a list of all that I’m grateful for – the big and the little things.  The goal is to share one thing everyday this month.  Maybe you want to play too?


Day 1: Today I’m thankful for this overflowing pile of handmade blankets and quilts.  The weather has gone from balmy to brisk…where did the fall go?!  My new morning routine is cuddling underneath them and watching cartoons with the kids.  And I’m reaching for them in the evenings, as my husband and I unwind after a long day.  So thankful for their warmth and the memories we’re creating.

{house to home} A Little Girl’s Nursery Inspiration Board

I was given an amazing gift a few days ago.  Let me start this story by saying that as much as we love our new home, the paint colors chosen by the previous owners are pretty bad.  (Remember my Ronald McDonald kitchen/first floor?)  The master bedroom and the nursery were the worst.  Loud colors and lots and lots of stripes.  Seeing the rooms everyday drove me crazy, but with a brand new baby, the idea of getting it all repainted was just not realistic right now. 
 
My cousins to the rescue!  Giving me the most amazing gift, they offered to fly in for the weekend and paint both rooms!  Can you believe it?  I was so humbled by their generosity. 
 
The nursery was painted Benjamin Moore’s Buxton Blue, which is gorgeous.  Before and after pictures will be coming soon.  And now I’m itching to get this nursery decorated!  A few of my inspiration pictures:
