{a yummy dessert}

The other night hubby cut up a couple of peaches and I remembered that I had some whip cream that I hadn't used yet...I put it in the mixer for a few minutes, then added some vanilla extract, and powdered sugar...it tasted amazing {I've never made whip cream from scratch before...so easy} we put the peaches in a ramekin and topped them with a ton of whip cream...we were all in heaven!  I love that something so simple can taste so wonderful!

The girls have spent a lot of time here...coloring, painting, cutting, and eating :)  We are taking it easy knowing that school is starting soon and life will be a little crazier...

A Confession...

You all know my love of fake flowers {I know some think they are tacky and I agree most of the time but I  love the soft white/green tulips and hydrangeas}with that said... I have decided to move on.  Instead using something with substance and meaning.  All of the flowers have come down and now comes the hard part of filling their space!  I would love to have fresh flowers but they get very spendy {can't wait for the farmers markets to open}!   I have filled one space that I find very hard to decorate... the top of the tv cabinet...now there is a live plant :)  It's a young plant and I know I will love it once it fills in a bit more. 

Another item I'm looking to decorate with are vintage globes.  I love all the muted color plus the fact that we can learn from them.  I'm now on the search.  Let me know if you find any while you are out and about :)

Yes...more pillows

Wasn't yesterday beautiful!?!  I love it when I can leave my front door open and let the sunlight stream through!  It got me motivated...I made a few pillows out of this beautiful blue fabric...take a look.

The girls got to go to their first high school basketball game last night {our neighbor friend is one of the coaches}.  They had a blast!  Both little ones loved the band and got up and danced every time they played.  Of course I forgot my camera...darn!  It's amazing how old one can feel when they step inside a high school!  I'm just doing a little math in my head {don't laugh} and oh my god...I've been out of school for 14 years!!!  Where does the time go, I don't feel that old!  Anyways... James and I had a great time too and we will definitely go again!  Have a great Wednesday!  Modern Family is new tonight :) yay!

Beanie wanted her pic taken too :)

Ready for spring...

Winter seems to get harder and harder to get through!  As I get older I'm realizing how much the sun {or rain} affects my mood, even hubby has made comments about how nice it is to see the sun when it pops through.  I'm bracing myself with fact that we still have a few more months of rain...so in the meantime here are some sunny garden pictures to help lift the spirits.

I {heart} my sis-n-law...

I have the most amazingly talented sis-n-law!  She is a fab graphics designer and this comes in very handy {forget having a doctor in the fam, this is way better}!  I'm on the board at my daughters preschool so I hear about all the things that need updated or re~designed and I immediately think of my sis!  She has been so giving of her time and talent and has created the most amazing posters, brochures, and handbooks for the preschool...so "H" thank you for all that you have done for the preschool and for us!  You are wonderful, beautiful, creative, and the best auntie in the world!  We love you!
