A Dining Room Light

I have been wanting a new light above my dining table ever since I moved in and hated our $40 special.

Matt promised we could get a new one, and even "gave" me one for my birthday (for me to choose out). The problem is, I can't decide what to get. And I've thought about it, trust me. I just saw this one on Simplified Bee, a new-to-me blog. I think this one might be perfect. Great, I'm sure it is terribly expensive.


That's why we still have the $40 special!

A Spot of Sun

The kind of spot of sun I dream about all winter long-a beautfiul patio/dining area.

Birthday parties

I haven't had too many really cute birthday parties for my kids, okay, I haven't had many parties for them period. I just think it is too much crazy work. But sometimes I feel up to it. I may have to use some of these really cute ideas I've seen around the web recently.

A sweet candy themed one at Hissyfits Photography.

A whole slew of adorable parties at Kara's Party Ideas like this adorable Raggedy Ann party.

And more cute parties at One Charming Party.

A Lovely Laundry

Not even a laundry room as pretty as this would make me want to wash all the clothes from our weekend away, plus loads before that are still waiting, lurking, stinking...

And a Turquoise Kitchen

I found a beautiful blog today that I've been pursing for longer than I want to admit, House of Turquoise. I think I like just about every picture I've seen. And now besides wanting a pink bedroom, I want a turquoise kitchen. Do you mind honey?

A Pink Bedroom

It wouldn't take too much to convince me to have a pink bedroom (or at least lobby my husband for one).
And this photo just about does it. (BHG.com)
