Thanks for having me love you guys!!!

blabla kids studio

As many of you know I was on a very fun mission this week.
I was planning on keeping this secret a little longer…but I am just no good at secrets.

This week I went to BlaBla Kids to pick up a new friend for a very special little one in our lives.

If any of you have visited the BlaBla Kids studio here in Atlanta, you know it is an amazing place.
It is little bit of magic nestled in Virginia Highlands.

A little bit of magic with wonderful window light, whimsical store front displays and filled with the most loveable characters.

After peaking in on all the BlaBla kids I found the perfect new friend for our very special little one.

Lemonade is perfect!!

With those funky little spots.

A little retro-mod.

and ready to love!!!

Check back soon to see where Lemonade will call home.

In the meantime swing by BlaBla’s blog to see the BlaBla Kids already spreading love in their happy little homes..

looking forward…

…to seeing this smiling face this weekend.

Ran across this one this morning and I had to bring it back out.

This age on little Miss “A” was one of my favorites.

I love those  little curly locks falling from her ponytail.

Looking forward…to some summer lake days again soon!!!

what’s for dinner

This winter break I decided I needed a new hobby.

Or rather, I decided that I needed to learn how to feed my family.
I came up with the idea that I would be most successful if I treated cooking as if it were a hobby.
Something I was passionate about.
Something I loved.
Something I enjoyed the process of more than the results.

And this was tough because I have never enjoyed cooking…a very pained and drawn out process with quite horrible results.
But I kept my head down and my eye on the goal.

The first step was to decide what I loved about my hobbies.
Selecting new and different supplies.
Mixing textures, layer and colors.
Organizing my materials and having plenty of options close at hand.
Trying new processes.
Mostly learning from others.

And at last, I think I have been successful….
in that I am starting to become passionate.
It is something that I think I could one day love.
I am enjoying my time in the kitchen getting creative.
….and believe it or not the results have been pretty good.

I thought I would start sharing some of my good finds here on the blog.
For all my moms out there trying to feed their families and looking for a little selfish enjoyment along the way.

I tried this little recipe out on some friends this weekend.

This was a fun and tasty idea I got from the blog Can You Stay for Dinner.

I am going to keep my eye on Andie Mitchell’s blog and can’t wait to try out some of her other ideas.
