Door

i've got big expectations for today....front porch makeover b/c boy does she need some help!  i have had the rattan swing hanging up but it came down, when taylor was in it, and so i'm ready to retire her for a while.  my sweet neighbor gave me a chippendale bench and i'm about to take some clorox to it and some fun paint.  then i really want to repaint my front door- i'm thinking green, blue, or gray.  and i need to add ferns, plant plants in pots and bed, paint my ceiling blue, and update the light.  okay, so this might not all happen TODAY but hopefully i can start it....well, right after i finish babysitting....i've got a friend's little boys over in addition to mine.  i sent her this picture and said having 4 kids was a piece of cake (totally kidding, i would not be good w/ 4 kids but it's fun having them play).  in other news, i had a little girl time yesterday and got a mani/ pedi....loving the mint green nails...and i went bold neon pink for the toes!!  you should totally treat yourself :)  hope y'all have an amazing weekend.  wish me luck....the warning on the clorox bottle tells me to wear eye goggles, long pants, long sleeve shirt, hat, boots, and rubber gloves- what exactly am i using here??!!

sorry to be gone so long...i don't know why i could get my stuff together enough for a post.  blaming it on the time change (or maybe i'm just being slack)!!   now that the days are longer, i'm totally ready for warm weather, grilling out, and white pants :)

sorry for being MIA...we had a rough weekend.  we lost our sweet doggie barron.  we got barron right after warren and i got married and moved into our first home, seven and half yrs ago.  it is not fun being  a grown up and making painful decisions.  it is equally not fun to have to tell little taylor that barron is in heaven.  we know he's safe and sound and no longer in pain.  he will forever be in our hearts and is definitely missed in our little household.  we love you "B"....

i'm having a pink remnant sale today at the designer's attic!!  if you are interested, check it out!  i hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!!!
