Month: April 2012

Today our little Lorelei Wren turns one year old! I cannot imagine our life without her. Although I have to say, it has been a very long year with lots of health issues she has been such a blessing and brought us such joy. We love her so much and are so grateful to be her parents and to have the privilege of raising her.

I am so excited about today’s giveaway! Kerstin of Crafted by Kerstin is offering one lucky reader one custom piece worth up to $125 from her shop! And this giveaway is just in time for Mother’s Day! A few weeks ago I showed you the necklace she made for me.

Today is my parent’s anniversary! Last year they were down here visiting us on their 30th anniversary while we waited on Lola to arrive – she gave us a false alarm that sent them and my sister Jamie on their way a little earlier than needed.

I attempted to take some “one year” shots of Lola the other evening and
unfortunately did not get the shot I had in my head (or really even
close to what I had envisioned – one year olds are not that easy to
photograph) but I did get a few that I played around with.

So, I have pretty much hated our staircase since the day we moved in. I didn’t like the mix of orangey wood with the white and I just hung frames we had from our last home going up the stairs. They looked nice in our teeny tiny hallway in our last place but looked so tiny and dull here but I figured I would change them as soon as I could afford the large frames I had in mind for the space.
