Sharing...

I was reading Allison's blog "My Cozy Home" and she said that she has a good blogging friend who wanted bloggers to share pictures of their bedrooms...Here is our bed, my husband made the headboard quite a few years ago...He made it from an old door and then added molding around it. He did a great job! and I have a fireplace mantle at the foot of our bed....which I have also used at one time as a head board. I am thinking of changing the wall color, right now is kind of a khaki color and I would love to change it to a pretty greenish blue...Allison at my cozy home has posted her bedroom and it is in that beautiful blue color. Check it out!

look who's crawling all over my house...yikes.

the end of a great weekend...

Oh well here it is the end of a really fun weekend....we took my husband's sister and her three kids to the lake house for three days...the weather was gorgeous! we spent most of the time on the boat. Our nephew Logan was so excited to catch some fish, here he is smiling...he lost his two front teeth last week..soooooooooo cute! and the picture below is of his Mom and his big sister having fun on the boat! My husband and his sister and I have always been really close....we would do anything for her! She became suddenly single this year and it has been rough on everyone. This weekend was just what they needed! Love you guys! can't wait to go to the lake again with you!

Inspiration Friday...

I was visiting Linda's blog called Restyled home today and saw this great picture of a living room that she had posted. She had a fun post all about mirrors! I love the simplicity of this room...and the color or lack there of...I may have to go back to off white, creamy walls! I do have black accents in my room right now and my couch is pretty similar to this one...sounds like a room re-do may be in the future...but for now I hope everyone has a nice weekend! we are off to the lake!

Fun in the Sun!

It was hot here today! so we headed to the pool...Here is Addison with her big sister Karissa feeling very relaxed on their floatie...and at the end of the day we were all looking like a prune!

Strawberry Fields.....

It's strawberry season! I went to pick strawberries last week at a field near my home...There were strawberries as far as you could see! Fields and Fields of strawberries! I remember going to pick strawberries with my parents when I was young, I think every child should experience it! They hand you a tote when you arrive to put your berries in and show you which row you can pick from and away you go...The smell of strawberries filled the air. There were many people picking that morning but it was wonderfully quiet as everyone was caught up in their own picking methods,concentrating on getting the perfect berry! true BLISS...

Inspiration Friday...

You have to check out Matthew Mead's summertime website...He has great ideas. I especially liked the one about taking a black lantern from Ikea and painting it white. And then lining it with your favorite paper...Have a good weekend!
