bits about us: in the kitchen

One of the best things about having a four year old, is that they can finally cook!

And, I don't mean just sprinkle sprinkles and cut out cookies...I mean really cook!

Cooking has always been one of my most favorite memories as a child...and doing it with your own really takes it to a whole new level.

In fact, it's times like these where I can kinda see myself a little bit...

hahaha...yeah, totally.

The Girl's Room: the window wall

As you enter Ross's room, you look directly at a wall of windows. 

I'll confess I haven't put the first curtain up...anywhere.  So, I was determined to get started somewhere with that.

It's a bit of a weird set up...with no room at all on the far left side for anything. I'm still not quite sure what to do about that.  Regardless, this week- I'm figuring it out.

Flea Find

One of my most favorite finds from last week had to have been these sweet, little crocheted hangers.  We saw them piled in a basket on the ground with a signed that read, $1 each.

After my heart skipped a beat, I quickly collected them up.

They really couldn't have come at a better time with Ross's Christmas present already in the works...

Upcycled Photo Display

If you've been with me for a while, then you might remember this old fence a sweet friend gave to me a while back...
She had several... all worn and weathered and right up my alley. In fact, I used them last fall back in our old house HERE.

I kept wondering how I might be able to use them here...
They're fun to pull out occasionally for things, but they seemed like the perfect something for hanging/changing out pictures...and I soooo need that right now.

So, while my dad was here over the weekend, he was sweet enough to help me hang them.

I settled on the wall going up our stairwell, where it's in plain view in our kitchen.

And, I gotta say, I'm pretty thrilled about it.
There's room for lots of play here.

As always, you won't be dissapointed with the other gals...so go check 'em out!

Fall Flea

I guess this is my 4th or 5th time at the flea here...and I continue to get more and more excited about it every time. It truly never gets old (no pun intended there).

Unlike in the spring, I went with not one thing on a list...nothing that I had to have, yet I ended up definitely having to have a few things.

In fact, I spy something right here in this very picture I should have had.
Man.

Any of you guys flea it up this weekend?

The Girl's Room

Okay. So we last left off with "Dogwood White and the half wall..."

Well, this is how it turned out...

and let me tell you, I'd do it all over again...and again...and again.
I don't know how, but it ended up being exactly what I was hoping for.

Oh, but there's more...

bits of us... at halloween.

I can't tell you how relieved I was to hear that Ross wanted to be a cat this year.

(mind you, she changed her mind at least 6 times once I started putting things together buuttt...)

The "cat costume" could quite possibly be the easiest costume ever.

So then, it was Gram I had to figure out.

Luckily there's pinterest...where I revamped this tutorial to make it work on Gram's hoodie.

It worked, and he loves it...okay- deals with it...thank goodness.

They seriously crack me up.

It makes my life seeing them play so well together right now. I know it won't last forever, but it's so obvious how much they love each other...

...even when that little mouse is constantly chasing around that big cat.
