Texas Bluebonnets

One of my most wonderful dear old friends is our family photographer...check her out here WantedPhotography. We had an appointment with her for a bluebonnet picture shoot. Due to our crazy ever changing schedule we had to cancel. I was so disappointed that we wouldn't get that infamous Texas Bluebonnet picture. I decided if I can't have the real thing then I'll have second best, I'll shoot it. No fancy camera. Just me and my Sony hand held digital camera I bought at Target for $70.00. I found a place in Plano at the JCPenneys corporate headcourters, that still had a few bluebonnets left. They were sparse but better than nothing. 

Saint Patricks Day

After having a busy few last weeks, I'm just now uploading pics of my son, Kannon, from St. Patty's Day. Just a few shots on our front porch. Better late than never.
I used app PicTapGo and filter SweetTooth

Face lift for the guest bath

Okay let's face it, every once in awhile we are all ready for a change...a lift. I decided to start with our guest bath. The shower curtain that had lived in my guest bath I had bought back in 2008, and was no longer me at all. I found the perfect, and reasonably priced shower curtain at Target which happened to be on sale. Found here but only available in store. All I needed was a few finishing touches and drum roll......

The outdated before...

Now all I need to find is a colorful rug. I'm thinking yellow or turquoise.

The ladder I found at Tradedays.

Towels are from anthropologie and Target

Do you have any plans for a face lift in the home?

NATIONAL SIBLING DAY

Who knew right?? But today is National Sibling Day. Being the youngest had its perks for sure, and I was lucky to have such a great older sister and brother. Unfortunately my brother, David, went to be with our Lord when I was 13. I think of him everyday and named my son, his middle name after him. I miss you David and you are always in my heart. 

Not even knowing what today was, my son, while sitting on his changing table, insisted on playing with a baseball that sits on his shelf in his room. I told him that was uncle Davies , you can't play with it. He really started to cry, point in its direction and scream ball. I reluctantly picked it up and gave it to him. I put him down and he ran into the living room. I watched him carefully, out of fear he would throw and break something. He ran to the ottoman and just held the ball, so softly and sweetly. He just held it and watched his shows. I couldn't help buy cry, I just felt he knew the importance of that ball. I managed to get a pic of it and I'm sharing it with you. Such a beautiful moment for me. My son holding something that once belonged to the man I looked up to and miss everyday. It was priceless.
