CEILINGS.

2012-01-21T15:25:00.001-05:00

I LOVE ceilings. My dream is a have a cute little beach cottage with a raised bead board ceiling.

COLORS.

2012-01-11T12:51:00.001-05:00

I am working on a few new designs and color combinations. These photos are some fun inspiration for this drab time of the year. I do need that pink top to go with my red pants and a new K. Slademade clutch! (not sure what the brand is in the pic.) KS are fab go peek.

2012-01-09T12:34:00.002-05:00

I am on day 3 of my 60 day yoga challenge. 26 poses 90 minutes in a hot room. I won't lie...this will be difficult to complete. Will keep you all posted maybe once a week with the progress...or if I have crawled back into bed after car pool! So tempting.

2012-01-01T20:18:00.001-05:00

I love resolutions...and yes, I stick to them.

What about you?

GETTING READY.

2011-12-16T23:52:00.000-05:00

We are packing up the car for a little road trip. The boys are so excited!

We've got a wreath on the car...not sure how long that will stay. I found a few zip ties in the garage...

looks super cute though. I'll try to post pics. Not sure how that will work from the ipad.

Enjoy your weekend!

WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP 2.

2011-12-12T23:13:00.002-05:00

I should say up to my eyeballs! Tonight there are two XL totes full.

I am shipping out orders as quick as I can...PRAYING everything will arrive on time. And still trying to squeeze in a little holiday fun with my little guys. There are no after shots of the house...it fell apart 4 times! We gave up. They still had fun eating all the candy. Our decorating is fabulous this year. I'll take pics tomorrow. I let me boys do it this year.

SHOP NOTES: I will not be taking anymore orders until JAN. 1. Dani notes is not closed just on break. I need to spend some time playing with my little guys after I have everything caught up.

mid summer

2011-07-11T18:08:00.000-04:00

I love this print. It's from Etsy. But I can't find the link anymore!!!! I have been looking and looking. If anyone knows please let me know so I can give due credit and order one...it matches my bike.

I really can't believe it is mid summer. Exactly one month until fact and fee nights. That can't be right. And we have to pack up and move in that same month. Nuts and exciting. It will be a fun little addition to my blog to share our next journey with you all. We've always dreamed of building or doing a major reno...?? right now I can't even find a liveable rental. Think we need a beach day.

Vacation hunting

2011-06-07T16:33:00.000-04:00

I am on the hunt for the perfect family vacation spot. It has to be with in driving distance...I am not a huge fan of flying. I will, but with all the boys it is a nightmare. We have much more fun driving. We used to go to Seaside when the boys were babies, but really haven't been in that direction in years. I remember seeing photos of homes in ALYS beach on someones blog a while back. So I googled it. This place looks beyond perfect! Not to mention these photos have a million design inspirations for my someday homes! For more info here. If you have any pointers on the best places to stay, eat and see please share.

It hit me he is so BIG. Just doesn't seem like that long ago when he was running around in jon jons and bare feet asking mommy, "Where's det det?" (his lovey). Now its off to middle school with, HEY MOM, (yelling from upstairs) "Where's my iPhone?"

Have a happy HUMP day!

Ballet

2011-04-02T08:44:00.000-04:00

I LOVE ballet and always will. But I have a new love...Barre, it's a little bit of ballet and a lot of pushing your muscles to the edge. Which makes my want to hurl. BUT if I can stick with it maybe I can get my ballerina legs back...or some version of them that has been lost by motherhood. This photo makes me think I might need a new pair of pointe shoes... that might just be the ticket to fun house work!

HAVE A GREAT SATURDAY!

Working on an owl baby shower and a monogram bridal shower...super cute! And yes, MORE iphone cases. A little time to take a field trip to the beach with my littlest guy. And it's Fashion week...Thursday night was super fun. I tried to take a few pics to share, but I was using my phone and needed my camera...

they are really not that good. Maybe I'll have better luck tonight.

Have a great Saturday!

crab party

2011-01-27T20:08:00.000-05:00

This crab themed party turned out darling. Now if his slacker auntie would have ordered him a matching plate to eat his cake! Kind of glad I didn't have my act together...I am thinking the red crab on the seersucker stripes will be ADORABLE.

Can't even begin to tell you have busy I have been. All good! Photos to come.

And if my three boys will stand still and not mess up the house that would be a start :)

HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY!

Seen it and loved it. Now I need the necklaces and bracelets Gwyneth wears in the movie. I was bugging my husband about them the day after the movie...he said you are obsessed! Then in my in box is an email from my friend...she couldn't stop thinking about them either! I tired to find pics of the fab. sparkles but this was the best I could come up with...and a pic of the cutie Beau (Garrett Hedlund) just for fun. Happy Sunday! Do the kids really have another day off?

Honeysuckle pink

tulips against my drapes

Ann Mashburn's home Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine

Brook sofa, Celadon Home

When I saw this post on two ellie a while back I couldn't get it out of my head. I was smitten. Three little boys and white slip covered sofas are getting a little old. Its time for a little color in our home. And with the pantone color for 2011 being Honeysuckle, it got me thinking. Then was sitting at our center island looking around and noticed the pink tulips against the trellis drapes. The decision was made. Pink it will be and it will be PREFECT. My husband agreed, which is shocking. So the hunt for the right frame for the sofas began. I'll have to say it was quick and easy. The local store is having a 20% off custom sale starting in March. So I will have to wait until then to order, but it will be worth the wait. Take a peek at her store Ann Mashburn in Atlanta...LOVE that too.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday to my baby boy

2011-01-04T20:16:00.001-05:00

Happy Birthday little guy. We love you so much. Everyone tells you they grow up fast. I think it happens over night. I am attempting to bake a cake for him. I don't bake or should I say I can not. So I'll let you all know how or if it turns out.

Happy 2011

2010-12-31T22:07:00.000-05:00

Best wishes to all of you for the New Year!

little bit o snow

2010-12-26T15:36:00.001-05:00

We get a little excited around here when it snows. Which is next to NEVER! Nothing is sticking, but the boys are LOVING the flurries. See the little white specks :)

Merry Christmas

2010-12-24T15:23:00.000-05:00

Have a wonderful weekend.

so close

2010-12-22T15:34:00.000-05:00

My littlest guy can hardly stand it any longer. He asks me ten times a day is Santa coming tonight? Tomorrow? How many more days? He helped me write out all the gift tags. I LOVE the cute "R" and "P's" Yes, target tags...no time to make tags for my family! I could have this week, but I am out of gas. If I can finish our cards and get them out tomorrow I will be thrilled.

perfect for little boys

2010-12-18T15:44:00.000-05:00

the boys are out of school for 17 days...today is day one and they are going batty! It's cold and rainy not a good combination for three active little guys. I stumbled upon this wonderful idea on TRAIL of INSPIRATION Lulu Dekwiatkowski's blog. LOVE it. Simple and meaningful. Just the way I like to decorate. Plus the PERFECT activity for boys, gather sticks and rubber band them together. I might have to decorate an entire tree with these crosses.

sneak peek...

2010-12-05T21:41:00.000-05:00

I need a little help! I hung my wreath upside down...it looks more like a 5 then an S and the tree needs some more lights!...and decorations. But the boys are excited and that's all that matters!

I'll take more pics as soon as I get my act together. Did you see our elf on the shelf? He's eating pretzels.

p.s. melamine products need to be ordered BY December 10th if you would like them to arrive in time for Christmas.

Also all Holiday cards are sold out!! Thank you! I'll do a post on the cards this week.
