The ‘Big Boy’ Room

03 Sep

I guess it’s not a secret anymore- Dax is no longer a little baby. When I ask him if he’s a ‘little baby’ he vigorously shakes his head no. When I ask him if he’s a ‘little boy’, I get the same thing. When I ask him if he’s a ‘big boy’, he does nothing- so I’m assuming this means yes in his case.

His room was decorated from head to toe in Snoopy, moons, and stars. It was all light blue and babyish. I’ve been thinking for a few months now that it needed a re-do. But a re-do meant saying goodbye to my little baby, and I’ve finally come to terms with that.

At the moment… Continue reading

30 Before 30 List

30 Aug

Turning 30. I’ll be honest- the thought actually frightens me.  I’m trying to prepare myself, to embrace it. But every time I think about it I want to hide or bury my head under my pillow. In a lot of ways, I feel so far away from 30. I still dye purple streaks in my hair, wear black fingernail polish, and buy clothes from the ‘junior’ section . I tend to relate better to people who are are in their teens and twenties. I still dress up for Halloween and get carded when buying alcohol.

And then I think, I have to be turning 30 because I’m a wife and a mother. Even saying those words… Continue reading | 1 Comment

Balloon Festival

26 Aug

A couple of weekends ago, we attended the Pennington Balloon Festival. It was absolutely amazing! I will admit, getting there at 6:30am was a bit rough for us (we tend to sleep late around here =). It was SO worth it though! We picked up doughnuts for breakfast, and laid out a blanket on the field as the balloons floated across the sky.  Dax was so excited, and kept pointing at the balloons saying “ba-oons”. Teehee

Mini Studio Tour

16 Aug

Now that my new desk is all set up and in place, I thought I’d give you a mini studio tour. I say ‘mini’ because it’s just my desk area. Warning- it’s very purple!

I received a box from my bestie today, and when I opened it up- guess what was inside? Yep, the Crosley Kettle Classic phone that I had on my wishlist. It’s even more beautiful in person too =)

It sits nicely on the corner of my new desk, and it’s extremely shiny and eye catching. I tend to be drawn towards shiny/glittery/cute things, so it fits right in. It’s a lot heavier than I expected it to be… Continue reading | 15 Comments

New Desk for the Studio

10 Aug

I’ve been wanting to replace my desk for a very long time now. I’ve had it for a couple of years, and it was originally an L-shaped desk. It’s made of glass and metal, and I’ve been haunted by the thought that Dax *could* break the glass with a toy/cup/etc. If that would have happened, my two flat screen monitors, along with everything else on my desk would come tumbling down- onto my computer! There is no IKEA anywhere in sight (groans), and although I had found a desk on the IKEA website that I liked, the shipping would have cost twice as much. Um, no thanks! So, I began searching locally for a desk. And found nothing… Continue reading | 2 Comments

I would love to have one of these. I began looking through the Flickr album to see what others have created with it, and I thought I’d show you some of my favorites. The possibilities are endless with this thing!

First, I saw this Alice in Wonderland card, and I got so excited! Isn’t it adorable?
