toddler.nursery.



After spending a bit to make sure my toddler's room was up to par on decorations I wasn't ready to can the whole idea after getting to the new house. I'm planning on painting the new toddler room the same or similar color and putting up the same art work and curtains. This one will be simple save for painting. Oh how I've come to loathe painting. Perhaps it's the crappy coverage low VOC paints that make me miserable but I know our air quality is somewhat improved over the other stuff.


The new nursery has presented some challenges, namely that we aren't 100% sure that the new occupant will be female. We aren't sure whether the toddler will outgrow the crib by the time the newbie arrives. Not wanting to do the same old neutral color scheme again I found a great blog that manages to add color and a bit of modern sophistication to their nursery. That and if the newbie turns out to be a boy it would be just a matter of changing bedding and wall art. Anyway this I purchased as inspiration for the new room.

One day while waiting for some showings to be complete we ran to our local furniture store. I always wanted a sectional but our current room was too small to accommodate one. We decided upon leather because well that's what we have now and it works wonderfully with a toddler and pets. To give the other half a better idea of what I wanted to do with our new family room I created a little mood board. I'd like to have an accent wall in a either a blue or gray color and then tan for the rest of the walls.

the.new.house.

It's a funny story about how we found the new house. I adore cyber house hunting and stumbled across this gem a few months before we became serious about moving. The home was perfect: 4 bedroom plus a bonus room, 2 car garage, 2 living spaces, a rec room, and most importantly backing to open space. Early on we decided that having a private back yard was the most important aspect in a new home. After this requirement we knew we needed 4 bedrooms (or 3 and an office space), a 2 car garage at least, and a basement.  We toured approximately 8 homes (only 4 with our realtor) before we knew we needed to put in an offer or we'd lose the home I so desperately wanted.  So far things are good. I haven't started counting all my chickens just yet, there could still be some hiccups along the way. Here's a sneak peak. It's a huge reason we bought the house.

The Christmas Experience

The big holiday is over and done. Does anyone else feel the tiniest bit depressed when it's all over? I don't know about you, but for me, the anticipation coming up to the big day is what I revel in the most. Sure, the presents are way up there for the kids, but mine equally anticipate the activities we get up to prior to the big day. Our little list of activities (dare I say traditions) help make the season that much more special.  In no particular order: ✔1. Christmas Gardens Lights-our botanical garden have a gorgeous display 2. The Nutcracker play ✔3. Gingerbread houses ✔ 4. Baking cookies 5. Mulled wine (just the husband and I of course) 6.  Watching Christmas movies:: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ✔ Love Actually ✔ The Holiday ✔ Elf The Polar Express ✔ Last Christmas (new addition for me this year) ✔ 8. Visiting w/ Santa (with kids) ✔ 9 . Advent calendars ✔ 10. Ebelskivers ✔ 11. Christmas Eve Boxes       We managed to almost complete the lis...
