I stumbled upon this on Rachel's blog and loved it!
I bet I have listened to it almost daily ever since.
It's so neat the hear the two songs intertwine.
HAPPY FRIDAY! :)

A few more pretties at Pier One. . .
Oh, how I LOVE Pier one!
Just felt like showing y'all a few things, I was drooling over while I was there.
This rug, I big red puffy heart it! Seriously, I need it for my kitchen.
LOVE the colors, the pattern, everything!
Check out these measuring cups, how cute are they?!?
Anthropologie has a set that I have been wanting forever, but I think these are just as cute and are a 1/3 of the price.
Check out these door knob hooks?! Cute too, huh?!
Lastly, totally LOVE this chandelier! It's classic and can be dressed up or down.
I could seriously spend a fortune there, love that store!

Porch update. . .
Just wanted to share a quick pic of my newly painted star and furniture, and as you can see, I decided on blue for the star.
I am so in love with this shade of blue right now!
I wanted the original color of the star to still come through so I just lightly brushed this on.
I love the color and contrast against the brick.
Plus, it matches my Pier one pillows perfectly!
This is our newly painted rocker that Jeffro painted for me.
I think he did a pretty job, if I say so myself.
Told ya'll, we've been busy!
Oh and here's a quick shot of my flowers, that I decided to get as my mother's day gift.
I want to get 2 more baskets of them though, to finish out my porch.
These are called calibrochia and so far, they are thriving, so YAY for me!
The nursery said these were low maintenance and that's exactly what I needed.
This girl was so not born, with a green thumb!
Lastly, here is a pic of my Hydrangea wreath on my front door.
I just love hydrangeas!
Oh and pay no attention to the yucky candle in the chiminea, I hadn't even noticed it until I posted this pic. It's time for some new candles, I do believe! :)
Still have lots to do but we are getting there!

Been a wee bit busy. . .
this Memorial Day weekend!
I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Memorial Day! We did, and today was our Anniversary so we took an extra day off of work to enjoy it! Love, love, love long weekends!
It was a busy and productive weekend. We spent most of the weekend updating our bathroom! The old wallpaper was peeling, the light fixture was rusting, everything was just majorly outdated and OLD.
So, we decided to bring it into the new century and revamp it a bit.
I found a bathroom that I loved that was an apple green with white accents. So, we have used this pic as our "muse". It's gonna take a LOT of work to get ours somewhat similar but we are trying and so far I love the changes.
Jeff is on the fence about the color but I think it is growing on him, as he tends to like more traditional colors.
Like I said, we still have a lot of work ahead and I am sure getting this done will be our or (my) weekend project for a while. But, that's ok because it will be well worth it!
This week is Maddie's last week at school and believe me, she is super excited for the summer! Third grade has been a challenge but she has managed to still be on the honor roll and breeze through. She's a whiz and I can not believe my baby is going to be 10 and in 4th grade this year!
My mom is still hobbling around, the dr's put her in 2 boots so she is at least able to walk around a bit. Poor thing, I feel so bad for her. Hopefully, her ankles will heal soon!
Our pup Shelby, is still hurt but she is at least able to use her leg. She seems to just have lost use of her paw but she hasn't it let her slow her down a bit. So, we are very thankful for that!
Lastly, I checked on the foreclosure down the street and I am having the hardest time getting info about it. Has anyone bought a foreclosure? I have spoken to the "master in equity" and he currently has no info about it. So, we will just wait and keep checking. We are content where we are right now, just still wanting to buy so we can make all the changes we would love to make and make a home "ours".
That time will come though, I have hope!
