Holiday 
Happy 4th of July weekend! It’s one of my favorites because it’s filled with family time and a day or so off work. It’s also filled with red, white and blue food. And what’s not to love about that? Luckily Martha has an entire display of pretty food, like the one pictured above with recipes on her site.
And speaking of blue, I’ll be getting rid of some around the house this weekend. We had an incident a little while back where paint was knocked off our stair ledge (who would ever think to put it there I wonder???).
The carpet was easily replaced because we had a remnant left over from the install. But see that little splash up on the stairs? It’s still there and we’ll be painting over it this weekend. And after I’m done with that, I’m going to keep painting. I hope to get everything touched up around the house, and maybe even paint the laundry room if time allows.
How about you? What are you up to this weekend?

Happy New Year! Wow! 2009 was such a great year, right?! I honestly can’t believe that it’s 2010 already. I know this year has so many good things in store and I just can’t wait. And, I can’t believe where 2009 took us. I had no idea that all these great things would happen.
Erin and I met at Mom 2.0 last year and hit it right off. We immediately started brainstorming the site, THIS site and look where it’s taken us. From being featured in Glamour magazine and Singapore Home and Decor to making friends with designers like Christopher Lowell, Amy Butler, Barclay Butera, and Kelly Ellis, just to name a few. And best of all… meeting readers like you!
We’d like to make 2010 the best possible for you. To do so, we’d like to get some feedback about our site from you by taking this quick survey. It will only take about 3 minutes, we promise! Click here to take survey.
Thanks again for making 2009 such a great year!
xoxoxo

Fun,
Holiday Looking for some cute and unique gifts this Holiday season? I just came across a store called MXYPLYZYK {pronounced Mix-ee-pliz-ik} and am loving so many of their items that I just had to share with you. Some of these would be great gifts for those that seem to have everything.
Colorful and wonderful, don’t you think?
Are there places you like to shop that have unique and fun gifts?
