Home Sweet Home

By -







As of today my sweet little house is going on the market. It's so bittersweet for me in so many ways. And although I know the move to my hubby's house was the best for our growing family, I truly am going to miss my house. I adored this house from the moment i walked through the doors. The beautiful tiled and hardwood floors, the arched entrances to each room, the windows and the glass blocks. The front breeze way and the back porch. And of course my most loved and treasured backyard oasis! I still get a little sad thinking about not being able to be out there this summer. I was blessed with a plethora of perennial plants and shrubs. Including about many different varieties of hostas and glorious Peonies. I think of all the friends & family I hosted & entertained out on the patio, including our rehearsal dinner. I got engaged in that house, found I was pregnant in that house and had so many happy memories there. Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to the next phase of my life as a mom and the house we will bring our baby home to will be wonderful! But it's a letting go process and I'm ready to move on.
P.S. If you know anyone in the Minneapolis metro area looking for a house... send them our way. :)

It's so cute! I will totally switch you. :)

Good luck! I hope you have a much better experience than we have. We are actually going to pull it off next week, replace the countertops and do some little things, and relist in June, probably.

Aw...I love that house too! It has such charm and I am confident it will sell!! It truly is bittersweet as is most change in life. I know how much you hate moving so I am glad this is it for a while. I can't wait to see how you transform your new home with all your little "sabrina" touches and mad decorating skills! Love you girl.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
