Decorators Delight

Now that the word is out about the upcoming baby I can chat more freely about the questions that keep me up at night. One of them being, How do I decorate a baby's room for a baby when we aren't going to find out the sex? Actually that doesn't keep me up at night, but it's something I think about. I mean really let's be honest, we aren't really decorating for the baby, it's more for our own aesthetics and tastes. The room doesn't need to be neutral does it? How about lots of color & fun prints? I recently purchased my first baby room item, this print of You Are My Sunshine by thewheatfield on etsy. I love the colors and notice the little giraffes, my favorite animal. thewheatfield on etsy I just want my baby to be surrounded by color, cheerful brightness from the start. This is another room that I am drawn too. I think you could tone it down so it isn't so pinky for a girl, and add some fabrics that might be considered more neutral? ( Oh Dee Doh

Spilling the Beans...

I haven't blogged in awhile. My cousin Kelly says I don't have a boring life, and that I should blog. Well I feel pretty boring lately, lying on the couch, feeling sick, exhausted... all those symptoms you might have when you are expecting! Yes it's true... Baby S+T is on the way!!! I still find it hard to believe that I am preggers! It happened a bit sooner than expected, but we are thrilled nonetheless. I am almost in my 2nd trimester and finally feeling better. I was nauseous from week 6 on and now I'm started to get back to normal. So that is my big news, that is why I have been MIA. We aren't finding out the sex, but today I am feeling like it's going to be a girl. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel differently? I'm just excited to meet my little peanut! (sometime around May 11th!) :)

Cruising...

Tuesday evening, my folks, brother & hubby headed out on the great Lake Minnetonka for a boat cruise. The weather was gorgeous, the company was sweet. My parents pointed out hot spots, their favorite memories of growing up on the lake, and all the happy times they had with friends and family. My mom pointed out her house, my dad pointed out his old house. I have vague memories of my grandparent's house. They moved not long after I was about 3 or 4. My dad said his dad, loved that house, and when he retired the taxes started to skyrocket and they could no longer to afford to live there. That made me sad. But I loved hearing all my dad's hoodlum stories of the lake, him and his friends caused some ruckus! On the boat, we ate pizza, chatted and danced. Of course we were the only ones, but we always march to a different beat anyway.
