Disney 2011

Here are a few of the great pics we snagged from Disneyworld. It was a fantastic week in the sun with Mickey and family. Kinnick loved every second of the trip and can't wait to go again. And Lucy has never slept so well! The Florida weather definitely agreed with her. Thanks to Connie and Norm for taking us to create some awesome memories!

Lucy's Baptism

On Sunday, Feb. 20th we had Miss Lucy baptised (or advertised as Kinnick put it). Standing up as Godmothers were Dustin's sister, Jay, and my couusin, Aubrey. It was a great weekend! Melissa and the girls were both able to make it which was so special for us. We are truly blessed!

Lucy Lately

Here are some new pics of the little peanut! She's getting big with a personality to match.

Happy Saturday!!!

After a couple rough nights sleeping Miss Lucy is in a darn happy mood! Her piggy & carrot on her bouncy seat are the main source of entertainment.
So crazy....but she is cutting teeth! I had to search online to find out if that was even possible. And it's more common than you would think. Just another difference between her and Kinnick. The differences are growing exponentially.

Italian Trulli

While watching House Hunters International I fell in love with the design of the Italian Trulli. From my understanding, their history is a mortarless home that could be built, torn down, and rebuilt to avoid property costs. The result are these beautiful quaint homes with loads of charm and whimsy. The textured stone is the perfect backdrop to their warm cocoon like rooms. And the Italian countryside sprawling out each window is yet another perk. LOVE! Stumbled upon some images of these gorgeous little homes @ Design-Ties. So if you have a second to get lost in a quaint little dream...skip on over to this blog and check it out!

Kiddos!!

Here are just a couple new pics of the kiddos. Thanks Aub for sending Kinnick such a sweet Obi Wan shirt..can't wait til Lucy fits into her Princess Leah onsie. We were snowed in today and caught up with some old friends. Kinnick decided we would spend our day revisiting some of our favorite movies from years past. Thankfully kids' movies are as enjoyable for me as they are him. Lucy was not in the most forgiving of moods today. She's becoming a little spoiled...gonna have to nip that in the bud quick! Hope tomorrow we're able to dig out because I think we all have a little case of cabin fever!

Mr Basketball

Here are the latest pics of Kinnick playing ball. He practices every night and that includes stretching;) Hopefully he'll take after his dad when it comes to athletic ability!

My love of Makeup!

For those of you who know me well know that I love everything about makeup! Growing up with a hair stylist mother, early on she taught me the imprtance of good makeup application. Since junior high when she bought me my first set of Trucco brushes (which I still own and use daily) I have been hooked! And without a doubt a good set of brushes is essential to great makeup application. Of course I love MAC cosmetics and brushes, however I've recently come across more affordable versions of my fave MAC tools. Most recently this trio of face brushes from sigmamakeup.com is my new favorite. They are all three Kabuki style in nature, great for buffing on and blending product. I love them to apply foundation and hilight. Overall I'm really sold on the quality of the Sigma brushes in comparison to MAC's. So...if your in the market for some new cosmetic brushes don't overlook these fantastic options!

Not so baby ... Baby Bag

Recently I purchased this amazing little gem on amazon. In my search for a stylish and functional diaper bag I became frustruated fast with the options out there. So thinking outside the box I stumbled upon the Timbuk2 Convertible Tote. I am in love with this bag! It works fantastic as a diaper bag with plenty of space and pockets to hold all that is baby. But my favorite feature is it's capability to expand into a really large tote bag. Along with our 2 month old baby we also have a 5 year old little boy and it's nice to have extra space to toss in basketball shoes or the ds. This is the second Timbuk2 bag I've purchased and I have to say these are the best bags when it comes to durability and functionality...not to mention they just look cool!

Dream Space

For as long as I can remember I have been in love with an industrial loft space. I think it stems back to my love for everything flashdance. Today I stumbled upon this fabulously renovated industrial space @ apartmenttherapy.com. This couple's amazing renovation of an abandoned water filtration plant in Birmingham, Alabama is the perfect blend of concrete modernism with unique hints of design sprinkled throughout. This is my dream home in every way! I admire how the flawlessly partnered inexpensive Ikea fixtures with those amazing staircases. White Barcelona chairs and simple design choices result in a calm, cool, and interesting space. Love..Love...Love! Check it out.

Meet Lucy!!

Here are a few of pics of our little Lucy! She is growing like a weed and has quite the personality. Things are so crazy with 2 kiddos in the house but we're lovin every second. Maybe someday I'll have time to be creative again.
