It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I don't know about most people but I LOVE CHRISTmas. It is my favorite holiday. Wherever you go around Christmas it seems and feels like everyone is happy and it doesn't matter what your religious, spiritual, political, or daily life view is you are happy and all celebrating. But in the midst of all it all the gift giving, parties, traveling, I think people can sometimes forget what Christmas is all about. Even though we know December is not actually the month Jesus was born in it is when we celebrate it, do you celebrate your birthday, loved ones, than why not celebrate the birthday of the man who died so that you might be saved. That is one of the main reasons I love Christmas to think that God sent his son as flesh, he sent him as a baby in the womb of a virgin, the angel said to Mary God has found favor with thee, could you imagine the honor Mary would have felt that out of every one on earth God had found favor and entrusted her with his son. OOOOPS I got of track. God had a Mother and a Father raise him instill values and a Love for God. I could go on and on and on but people have tried to take the CHRIST out of CHRISTMAS, I frankly do not understand it. I love decorating for Christmas the lights, the trees, the smells, LOVE IT.

Creative Girl

Decorating kids rooms are a lot of fun, and can be challenging. Trying to do something neat, unique, intriquing, and fun all in the same room. Oh yes and kid friendly too. Boys like certain things it basically comes down to they want a few main things but other than that could care less. Girls they care about every little thing, where things are going to be placed, to the color, and if they don't like it they will let you know. My little girl is only 6 months so can't really give her opinion yet about her room decor or what she wears, I do know about this, I have two incredible nieces who know what they want in their room, and mostly know what they want to wear. I LOVE IT, I think it is so cute, I know it can drive their mom nuts sometimes especially on Sunday mornings, but they are exploring their creativity, and my their mom encourages it, GREAT JOB MOM. Kids need that boys are more drawn to technical things and girls are more drawn to things of style, along with other things.

My favorite color is Green always has been probably always will, I try and incorporate green in every room somewhere, whether it is a plant, pillow, chair, whatever nearly every room has something green. If I had a bigger house I would have a green room. I think every house should have a "Green Room". Anyways I found this room and LOVED IT, I am more drawn to different shades of Olive Green but I like pretty much all greens.

My New Find

I found this offered the lady $50 and she said she would take it, we are going to reupholster it with something that will match my living room, cause it is going to replace the boot bench I have in the entry way, we go look at it tomorrow, I am so excited.

My New Sofa Set

Well after almost 8 years of having them we sold our sofa set and are getting a new one, I am very excited, these are pics of the new set we are getting, we pick it up Sunday.

My Bathroom

Well I finally got my bathroom done it isn't painted since we are renting but other than that, I was so excited everything cost a little over $50 I shopped for deals and I got the money by selling some stuff on craigslist.
