Home For Sale!

     Adam and I have been in the big-decision-making business lately.  About four weeks ago, we were offered the opportunity to move in with my Grandma to help care for her as she recovers from a hip fracture.  Without looking back, we made the move.  It isn’t quite as noble as it might sound as the benefits are pretty good for us, too.  This move put us closer to our family, our friends, Adam’s work, and a community that has always felt like home.  Living with Grandma is an open-ended, but temporary, arrangement.  Even though it seems to be going well on both ends, I’m sure she is as relieved as we are to know this.  She gets stronger and more confident every day and soon she will be able to stay by herself again! 

      This led us to our second big decision. We have known for some time that selling our home was in our future, but with our house sitting empty while we stay at Grandma’s it seemed silly not to try now.  So, we did it!  We put up the For Sale sign!

 

Just in case you are looking for real estate in Vandalia, here’s a few reasons you should buy our home.

 

It is an incredibly charming cape cod home built in 1956.  It sits on ¾ of an acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.  The tree-lined yard offers tons of space and the privacy to enjoy it.  

  It has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full finished basement, and boasts many custom features such as a built-in book case, window seats, and wall paintings.  One of my favorite features is the beautifully restored hardwood floors that run throughout the house. 

 

 Basically, it is the perfect home!

 

I know I'm biased, but I'm only presenting you with the facts!

What She Wore Wednesday

Welcome to week three of What She Wore Wednesday, my take on popular blog segments that share style tips, ideas, and how-to's.  Here, I share the fashion stylings of my two year old.  Be prepared for some serious style inspiration!

 

Never mind that it was close to 90 degrees today, boots-with-da-fur are always a good choice! 

 

And who said that wings were only for bugs and fairies?  

In her hands she is holding plaid shorts which became an unseen addition to this attractive outfit.

 

Today's Tip:  Furry boots are never out of season, no matter how bad they make you sweat!

Thanks for stopping by!  Check back soon for more fashion inspiration!

What She Wore Wednesday

Welcome to the second installment of What She Wore Wednesday where I feature the incredible fashion stylings of my two year old, Little Miss.  As I've said before, all outfits in this segment are of her own making!  They have not been staged in an effort to deliver a funny photo.  They are a genuine attempt, on her part, to pick out clothes that she thinks look nice, and I've decided that instead of fighting with her about it, I would just take her picture and share a laugh!

Here we go...

 

She knew enough to put her pretty pink tights on with her fancy church shoes.  She just forgot that they would look best with a dress.  

 

Today's fashion tip: Tights can be worn under a dress or all by themselves.  Pink or nude colored tights look extra special when they give the illusion that you are wearing no pants at all!

Hope you have a fashion filled Wednesday!

Let's Go Fly a Kite

A few weeks ago, we spent the afternoon flying a cheap little plastic princess kite.  What simple fun!

And even though we didn't make our kite, I found this great site with awesome instructions that will teach you how to make your own.

Munchkin spent her time eating dandelions.

What She Wore Wednesday

So recently, I've stumbled onto quite a few blogs that feature a segment titled What I Wore, where bloggers share photos of themselves and then tell you all about, well, you guessed it, what they wore.  Sometimes they make me envious and leave me thinking, "why can't I look that cute?"  Other times they irritate me and remind me that people can be so vain.  On a rare occasion, they give me some much needed style inspiration.  I'll be honest, I'm no slave to fashion.  I love to try, but my ever changing post-baby body leaves me clueless!  Since I feel like I look my best in black yoga pants (that have never seen a yoga class) and a plain t-shirt I'll leave the fashion tips to all those other bloggers and bring you my version of this style segment.  It's called What She Wore Wednesday.  Here, I will share with you all of the ridiculous ensembles that Little Miss E creates as she practices matching clothes and dressing herself!  I promise, there hasn't been, nor will there be any staging for this segment.  All outfits are genuine attempts, by my independent two year old, to look her best!

Without further ado, here is your first installment of What She Wore Wednesday...  

  

She said that the jeans she had on did not go well with her high-heels, leggins were better.  Who doesn't love stripes??  She actually wore some striped socks for awhile, too!

 

Weighing in at a whopping 24 lbs. she proves that horizontal stripes don't always make you look pudgy! 

   

According to Little Miss E, the only flaw with this outfit is that her panties aren't striped!

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check back often to see some more style inspiring ensembles!
