A Spot of Sun

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

More partying going on around the blogosphere.

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 New Niece

We trekked to Idaho Falls to meet our new niece Bella. She was blessed in church and also got to attend a sweet football party thrown by my younger brother.

The guest of honor, baby Bella

We had a great time. And that is not only because I totally won the football throw half-time challenge, although that was a large part of it!

Here I'm wearing my sweet prize, the Dr. Pepper PJ's and holding my new Dr. Pepper worthy glass. (Never mind that I don't like Dr. Pepper or any cola for that matter, I will wear my pants with pride and joy every time I visit home!)

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)
