It goes without being said I've been busy with family life. Taxing around Amira for school and play dates is the reason I get ready in the morning. Gia and I usually hit up the grocery market for dinner fixings or little odds and ends after we drop her off. Our favorite stores to frequent are Target and Marshalls, they're also close by which is a bonus. With Valentines Day coming up I've been looking around seeing what catches my eye. I love to decorate for just about any holiday. I don't go over the top like Christmas, but its nice to have pink and red hearts strung about. It also gives me a chance to integrate different books out for the babes. Here are some of the love day touches I've done in our home.
My family lives in a modest three bedroom rambler. It is perfect for us, but I'd love to expand and have our dream home someday. This mama can dream! Like I mentioned in my 2014 goals, painting was on the list. I'm happy to say my handy husband has been painting his heart out. We have fresh white coats almost everywhere we wanted.
I tapped into my inner craftiness one nap time and finally painted our couch side table. I've had plans for this to happen for months, I just never found the right alone time for it. I'm so happy with the way it turned out. My husband actually thought I went out and bought a new one! I am obsessed with white and bright furnishings. If I had the freedom to decorate anyway I wanted so much would be white and linen looking. Lets get real here though, I have 2 messy toddlers and a heavy roadway construction working husband. My heart yearns for white marble and a white cabinet kitchen!
During that same week I even pulled out my trusty screw driver and changed a few light switch plates. I was going to attempt hanging this big mirror but I was intimidated and waited on Mario to help. Can you say Honey Do List ;) I found this one at Lowes and was happily surprised with their mirror selection. We replaced a very "vintage 90's" looking one for it.
So those were just a few ramblings about what I've been doing lately. I love little home projects. What have you been up to lately?
Thank you so much for reading. Much love, Linzi
