At the ripe old age of 34 my life started over. I'm passionate about cooking and trying new dishes. I dabble in scrapbooking and home decorating, and I have an impressive shoe collection. I love to travel to new places, but Honduras is my favorite. After trying to get and stay pregnant for almost 2 years, we are expecting our first baby May 9th, 5 days after my 38th birthday.



Chris is the most amazing man I've ever known. After "meeting" on match.com, we had our first date December 12, 2007. We were engaged by July and married on October 11, 2008. I would be lost without him. I never knew life could be this good!

What I Wish My Closet Looked Like

I know I'm not a very good blogger. Honestly I'm not a very good writer. I'm a much better talker. It's hard for me to put things on paper from my head, it never comes out right. However, I love my bloggy friends and reading all their news so I try to keep this updated every now and again. And it helps me remember stuff for my scrapbooking.

I've been nominated for several blog awards and I want all you ladies to know how much I appreciate it. I'm just a little too tired to actually do a post about it. I'm one week away from the 3rd trimester and I'm already getting tired again. Bone tired. I'm sleeping pretty good at night even though I have to go to the bathroom because I'm too tired to wake up. Chris usually wakes me up every morning to ask if I want breakfast and has said he couldn't get me to wake up a couple times. I think he's given up on me ever eating breakfast with him again.

We're working away on the nursery. The closet is finished and the amount of clothes this child has is obscene.
This is before all the shelves were in and is just one side, but I'm too tired to take a new picture. ha!


Yes, those are her shoes. Mommy has a shoe problem.



These are tubs of clothes people have given me that I haven't gone through yet.

I ordered the bedding a while ago so I have that. I got a chandelier from PB, need to get Pops to install that for me. However I cut through the string of crystals when I was unwrapping it so I have to take it to a jewelry store to get it repaired. I ended up buying a dresser at a local furniture store and resisted the $1300 one I wanted from PB. I ordered a pistachio colored chair and ottoman off Target.com. It's currently sitting in a box in my garage where my car should go. I have the curtains, but they're too short, I need 96 inch, so I have to exchange those when we go back to Nashville, and I want to get a rug from PB. We painted this past weekend and the woodwork will get done some time this week. Whew! So we have a lot done, but it seems like there a lot of little things to make it a finished product.

I have my 27 week pictures, but I don't want to overwhelm everyone with a super long post so instead I will do 2 post in one week. I know, it's a miracle!!! But I promise to make it happen.

I cant wait to show the hubs this closet...He gets on my case all the time when I buy little Baby Boy Hakes something...and I half not even a quarter of what you do:) I keep telling him babes can go through up to 4 outfits or more a day.....Sometimes men have no concept of what a baby really requires or the process....Well she will be one stylish little girl!!!!!

  11. I LOVE this closet!! I actually copied this picture & sent it to my husband. We will be working on our baby's closet this weekend & have been struggling with a functional design. I hope you don't mind, but I am just in LOVE with this closet!!!
