Baby shower pintrest adventures

By
My sister is having a baby in November! Last weekend we had the baby shower. It was out doors and lovely. I used my painted mason jars for the centerpieces, with beautiful sunflowers, wheat and other in season flowers from a local market.I got a lot of the ideas from Pintrest.

I also made a fall sangria I found on Pintrest.

Fall Sangria

It was very popular! Sangria makes you feel like you're drinking something really healthy since is has tons of fruit floating in it. Sounds good to me!

We had bingo ( a baby shower staple), name the baby food- 2 orange, 2 green and 2 beige so the guests couldn't have figured it out based on color, "the price is right" and how big is the baby belly (with the mom to be's permission of course)

For dessert we had de-lish cupcakes! We had cannoli (ang's favorite) and carrot cake (my new favorite) from With Love Bakery. They were amazing! And on the top of each was a hand crafted chocolate! score!

With Love Bakery

It was quite possibly one of the most beautiful days, not too hot/cold/humid.
The results are below.

Front Door Colors

By Jen
We have to pick a color for the front door. After some googling about feng shui, I found a great list of door colors on House Beautiful .  I really liked Evening Sky (BM 833).  I researched further and found the meaning of a blue door . Although our door doesn't face south, north or east, I really like the thought of a blue door, especially with our stream and the blue dining room. I think the door will tie it all in together.

Bathroom ideas

By Jen
Thanks for the opinions I got on the colors.  We're doing Stone House in the Kitchen, Alaskan Skies in the Family Room, and the Blue in the dining room.  I want to do something bold in the powder room, so I started looking (again) for some inspiration pics. I found some dark bathrooms (1st is from bossycolorblog it's BM Graphite) Keeping with a dark powder room, with a bow, it makes your day feel fancier.   I might just go a tad lighter with Revere Pewter, people rave about this color online and I think it'll give the warmth and clean lines I want, with a little less drama than the graphite.  I will definitely do the graphite in the basement bathroom once we build our movie theater, but I am going to go a little safer right now.

Slow it down, take it in.

By
I realized that I need an outlet for my thoughts, ponderings, and frustrations.  I could write them in a journal, but I spent my teen years doing that and it brought back too many angst filled memories. I'm revisiting this blog I started when we moved to our new house as a way for me to share my journey as a woman who is entering the 2nd half of her life. I turned 41 at the beginning of the year am at the stage in my life that I'm having some "midlife" awakenings, wherein I am coming to the realization of my mortality and the precious nature of life. I may write more about this in a future post, but for now, I am trying to find some ways to expand my world yet still manage my day to day. My life is goes from work-home-bed and I, as many of us do, don't set time aside to slow down and take time for myself.  I want to revisit some things I have done over the past 40 years and try to include the things that I think will help me recenter myself, making me more focu...
