adios amigos!

I'm taking a break from blogging, might be a forever break. I just can't seem to find the time these days! Sign up for Face Book to see pictures of the boys and keep up with our lives.

New Blog!

I started a new design blog for those interested in all things design: interior, graphic, illustration, art, garden, pretty much anything that inspires me artistically.

Please stop by plain and fancy and let me know what you think!

lean on me

I was sitting in my car the other day and "Lean on Me" came on bringing loads of memories from my childhood, specifically, of Shirley our old cleaning lady. She would belt out this song at the top of her lungs and sing her heart out. For some reason the song brings a tear to my eye. Maybe I'm just having PMS. Probably. But whatever the case, when this song comes on, I blast it and sing along. Love it.

i'm in love

We are considering getting a new pup soon! This is our dream bread according to the research we've done and the dogs we've met. This valentine's day Ben and I and the boys will be driving to Waco to visit a breeder and meet the parents of the possible dog we might purchase.

Here are some pictures of Wheaten Terriers. When they are puppies they have black fur around their faces and they get lighter and lighter until they are blonde by age 2. We did a lot of research and took quizzes on what type of dog would be best for our family. The best things about this breed is their friendly and puppy-like disposition, soft, hypoallergenic non-shedding hair, medium build, playful, smart and wanting-to-please-personalities.

New House!

We made it! We moved in to our new place and are totally head over heals for Mueller. Love it. The house is so thoughtfully planned with great storage space and perfect for our lifestyle. click on the caption bubble to read the captions while watching the slideshow.

10 Things I love about my new diggs:

1. Sitting on my front porch watching the boys play with their diggers and run laps around the sidewalks.
2. Cooking in our new kitchen with a gas stove and more space to store appliances, dishes, etc.
3. Sitting by the fireplace reading a book.
4. Walking distance to cool parks and running trails.
5. Office near the kitchen.
6. A more open floor plan.
7. The courtyard, which looks like a giant outdoor playpen right now, soon to be filled with lush potted plants.
8. The cozy master bedroom with gabled ceilings, very cottagey.
9. The closets
10. The kids bathroom: not having to sit on the toilet to bathe our kids (the last one was so tiny and only one adult could be in there at a time with the kids in the bath. It was very cumbersome).

It's been weird not going back to my old house. I feel like I'm forgetting to do something. Shouldn't I be over there cleaning and raking leaves? Ahhh....Thank God that chapter is over.

Onward and hopeful for nothing to report.
