Looking for something to do with your kiddos? How about homeade sidewalk paint?! I found this wonderful easy recipe on pinterest & thought, "Oh my goodness, we have to try that." With the cooler temps this is the absolute perfect fall activity. And the kids get to make a big "mess"! And use paint brushes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here is the easy peasy recipe:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 cup water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1cup corn starch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
food coloring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mixed the water & cornstarch in a bowl then poured into a little cupcake pan. I let the kids drop food coloring into each little section. We made our own orange & purple by mixing the colors too! Thats it! Then grab some paintbrushes & head outside! </div>

Yes, you read that right. I found this adorable little flower skirt for $2.50cents at a nice consignment shop back in my hometown. I was going to save it for fall but decided to go ahead & get it out early. I did have it on without the leggings but then realized if I only slightly bent forward, you could see my butt cheeks...no good. So, I paired the leggings underneath & it was a super comfy look. I love mixing browns & blacks now. I would have never done that a few years ago but now it looks cool!</div>

Seems Summer is sneakin' by awful quickly. Can't hardly believe it is July already. Normally, we would have visited our local swimming hole many times by now, but w/the mild weather & all the rain & all the busyness we've been once. We got out the small pool at home for a couple days but finally got our first trip in to the pool. </div>

I love this little small town pool with all its awesome vintage charm. Besides being a laid-back pool (it rarely feels crowded), the pool house screams mid-century. I want to steal all the vintage wire locker baskets and the wonderful old metal signs, industrial lighting & fans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids love to come here. Its only 12 minutes from our house so hopefully our July will be filled with many visits to our local swimming hole. </div>

I wore this outfit to work the shop this past Saturday. Turquoise/aqua is my fave color. I was a little leary of a pencil skirt on my 5' 1& 1/2" frame but with the wedges I think it works. </div>

It's a rare day when we "don't have anything going on". Between the shop, Stephen's teaching schedule, & other obligations it seems the days when the four of us can all be together are few. Recently, we took advantage of one of those rare days and took the kids to the zoo. We took in all the sights, sounds, even smells. Max has been saying lately that he wants to be a marine biologist. He wants to know if he has to wait till he is a grown up to be one. He'd like to be one now. I've told him its never to early to start learning how to be one. So, it wasn't surprising that his favorite activity was getting to touch the sharks. We also got to take in a dolphin show. I'd actually never been to one so I was pretty excited too. :)</div>

Hi friends! If you know me, you know I am a huge vintage lover. I love mixing in new pieces with vintage ones; when styling myself or my home. I scored this little yellow vintage top and was inspired. It's a perfect summer blouse!</div>

Well, most of the flood waters have receded although it is still raining here more than normal. We had 3 wonderful days in a row of warmth and sunshine so we were outside as much as possible. We found this nest of baby bunnies and it became endless hours of fun to just "watch after them." It was very hard to resist not pick them up and hold them and pet them but we still certainly enjoyed them! Maybe one of these days I will have a rabbit for a pet again! :) </div>

I love going treasure hunting for my shop & home. The only problem is that often times I want to keep what I have found for the shop. It is a challenge, but I also don't want to be put on "hoarders" so if I decide to keep something for the home, something else has to go to the shop. And, sometimes I'll bring something back home from the shop. I can switch things up if I feel like it. My home & shop are always changing. My poor husband. "oh, yes, by the way honey, I decided to rearrange the living room while you were at work today." </div>
<div align="center">
I go "shopping" for the shop every week to keep new things coming in. Sometimes I only have a couple hours here & there to squeeze it in and usually I have to drag one of the kids with me. But they are troopers about it. Seriously. They are gonna be scoutn' for me by the time they are teenagers. They will know the ropes. </div>

We had a blizzard blow through, hopefully the last one of the season. Rather than wallow inside, we got out and embraced the winter white wonderland. Max had a snow day and the kids were super excited to get out and build a Mr. Frosty, make snow angels and throw snow balls. We even sang "Frosty the Snowman" whilst building our new friend. Evelyn fell in love with Mr. Frosty over the holidays. She was a super trooper the entire time until it came time for the photo shoot with Frosty. Then, she was "all done," "Go inside momma." Ok, sweet girl, lets get some quick pictures then we can go inside for some hot chocolate. </div>

Hoping to beckon on the spirit of spring, I decided to wear a combo of kelly green & pink. I mean, who doesn't love lush green grass & pretty pink flowers. Mind you, a blizzard came blowing through our way today. Go figure. </div>

<em>My Max turned 6 yesterday</em>! Oh, how the time flies. They tell you all the time how the time flies, but when you are getting little sleep, lost in laundry and dirty diapers, and your body is producing milk by the gallons, the time does not seem to fly by. It comes in and settles for a while.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking back I can honestly say that yes, they are right, it will fly by. You will wake up one morning and they will be off to school, they will be reading, they won't be pooping in their pants,(hopefully), they will be dressing themselves and helping you out around the house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND, looking back I am now glad the time seemed to settle and linger. You have a short window of time to bask in their seemingly angelness, breathe in the deep "baby" smell and relish in the innocence and 100 percent dependence on You. The nursing, burping and rocking in the chair will end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think about the nights of little sleep and thankful that I can get my 8 hrs. now because I think at some point sleepless nights may come around again. When he is out with his friends, off to college, building dreams and a career; I will wake up and worry. PRAY. And wish I could hold him and rock him in my arms again. </div>

<em>At 6 years old Max is incredibly friendly & social. He is friends with everyone and can talk to grown-ups and children alike. He is laid back and easy going and is always eager to please. He is obedient and receptive to instruction and ready to help. He is intelligent and loves to learn. He is kind and caring. He enjoys books about real life animals,bugs, dinosaurs, outer space. National Geographic Kids magazine is one of his favorites. He loves hot wheels, Cars2, and can spend hours w/markers & giant coloring pages or building tracks for his hot wheels. He is also very good at manipulating & persuading, "brokering deals",if you will, to get what he wants. Perhaps he will be a lawyer or go into politics with his ultra-popular persuasive ways. :) He is a wonderful big brother (most of the time) and is protective of his baby sister. He's also a great little brother, able to "hang" with the big boys. </em></div>

<strong>A Max Story</strong>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a few nights ago, Max had a concert event for school. He had already gotten to see the concert once already that afternoon but the guy was also performing that evening. Max was soo so so excited & dying to go to the "dance party" at school again. I was exhausted. I had been gone 3 of the last 4 nights & I knew my husband would be too when he got home from work which would have been just in time for him or me to leave and take Max to the "party". Somehow, I mustered up the energy to go and changed out of my pjs. My husband walked in the door from work & 2 minutes later Max & I were out the door. (You know those hey honey!, bye honey! moments?!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Max quickly found some friends and as I sat and watched ( I really watched him and not the performer most of the time) I could just feel the joy permeating from him. And, suddenly, there it was, in the midst of his air guitars & head banging, he runs over to me and throws his arms around me and says, <em>"I love you mom!" In that one moment it made it all worth it. It was all I could do to utter back "I love you too,honey, so so very much" and not become a hot mess of tears in front of the other parents, students and teachers.</em> </div>

Most of the time I think its way more comfortable to wear a skirt or dress with tights rather than jeans. Jeans can be so much more constricting and squeeze your thighs. I have yet to find a pair that I could live in...So, if you've found a pair of jeans that you love that are comfortable AND flattering let me know! </div>

I'm ready for sunshine and warm air, spring flowers, green grass, buds on the trees....And, have you been seeing all these beautiful bright and washed out pastels for spring & summer?

I had another birthday, on the 25th I turned 30 something...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Birthdays are sort of a big deal I think, even when you do start to get old. At least they are for me anyways. Although there is not nearly the excitement and anticipation that surrounds them as when you are little, they bring about a time of reflection. Reflection over the past year and even over the life you have lived as well. It brings about hopes and dreams and "to do's" yet to be fulfilled. </div>

My 30's have been wonderful for me. I was not "freaked out" when I turned 30. I was<strong> </strong>excited for this new decade in my life. Eager to move forward from my 20's. <strong>My 30's have given me 3 of the</strong> <strong>biggest, most special things in my life</strong>: my own brick and mortar vintage home decor shop (<strong>my</strong> <strong>dream "job</strong>"), <strong>my miracle daughter</strong> which in turn gave me number 3: a <strong>forever changed heart</strong> and a real & renewed relationship in my Savior, Jesus Christ.</div>

Which leads me to what I have thought about every single day since my birthday. I have been constantly aware of the fact that I am now the exact age Jesus was when He was crucified for my sins. Somedays I have cried because I am overwhelmed by the grace and mercy I have been given. I certainly don't "deserve" it. I haven't "earned" it. No, I just believe it to the very core of my being and know that without this absolutely mind-boggling sacrifice I would be one doomed lost being. I want to show others his grace and mercy. I want my light to shine for Him. I want to inhale gratefulness and exhale thankfulness. </div>

I know that most days I will make mistakes. I will get impatient with my kids, I will be ungrateful for this or that, I will be selfish. I will have to seek His forgiveness every day. And its only because of what Jesus did on the cross for me that I will be able to go to Him every day and accept His gift. My sin He took upon Himself so that I might have eternal life in Him. Wow. I have alot to think about this year!</div>

One of the questions I get asked the most running a vintage shop besides <br />
"Where do you get all your stuff?"<br />
is <br />
"So, is your house decorated 'with all this stuff'?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always say it is a work in progress because it is. It is constantly changing and evolving. (I'm sure that drives the hubs crazy, although he's probably used to my whims by now.) Anyway, just when I am satisfied with one little area, I will want to change another. My home is my canvas. Items leave my home and head to the shop and vice versa! Sometimes I will decide I want to take something back home from the shop because well, really I would be very sad to sell it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I decided I would start a little sorta "mini series" if you will, of snapshots of our humble abode. I'm beginning w/the bedrooms. My husbands and I's first (Mainly cause it needed a good cleaning/decluttering) And, I want to document all the bedrooms looking clean!</div>

Welp, that concludes our bedroom tour. It has a certain shabby chic flair and I love having calming soothing colors in the bedroom. Athough it is small (I'd love to have a bigger closet and a master bath) it forces us to keep things orderly and to purge often. I'm a firm believer that your bedroom should be your quiet retreat. A place to rest and recharge your soul. So don't let bills or family laundry pile up in there! :)</div>

I love to mix old and new in fashion and in decor. It's exciting to find a great deal at the store, but also to find that unexpected skirt or shirt at a vintage, thrift or other resale shop. Was a little bit timid of the peach skirt at first but I think it actualy pairs nicely with lots of colors! What do you think? What color would you pair peach with? <br />

At first I thought I was too old to be wearing sweaters with hearts on them but I <em>love</em> hearts. Have always doodled them ever since I was a little girl, as many of you probably have as well. Now, I have an even greater love of the heart. Ever since my baby girl was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect I am just drawn to them. They are special and have unexplainable meaning to me. So here is my giant heart sweater that is more than just a sweater to me. </div>

<em>On another note: My thoughts and prayers going out to the families in Connecticut. My heart is just shattered at this unspeakable loss and I can't even begin to imagine the heart ache. Every time I see a news clip I just well up with tears and have literally sobbed when I see those precious faces. Only God knows the answers and can offer the peace and comfort we need. I pray the families cling to Him and are drawn to Him through this tragedy. If there has never been an event more evident of the real battle of good ( Our Savior Jesus Christ) and bad (satan & his demons) that we are living in, then I don't know what is. But, the wonderful amazing awesome news is that good wins! Our God has already won the battle. He paid the price & sent His Son and He already has a special place prepared for us in His Kingdom. We just have to accept Him and walk with Him each day. When God is on our side, we will be victorious!</em> <br />

I jumped on the pinterest bandwagon fairly recently. I still have alot to learn but I am having a blast finding inspiration and creating interesting boards. The only downside is that I have found my "To Do" list getting longer. I must remember that this is all in fun and that I don't have to complete 100 projects or redecorate my house overnight!! Enjoy a sampling of some of my favorite pins so far! Sorry the quality of some of the pictures are kinda blurry..</div>

I am so happy to report that Evelyn's checkup went wonderfully! I could certainly tell that prayers were coming our way! So thank you to all of our friends and family who lifted Evelyn up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
She was totally calm and peaceful throughout her entire echo. After they were finished running tests we went back to speak with her cardiologist. He came back to the room within a minute and asked us if we would like to come see what he's looking at. So we followed him into his office area where 2 large computer screens were showing pictures of Evelyn's heart. You could see the blood flowing and the heart pumping. He pointed to where the atrial leak is and said "Well it certainly has not gotten worse.....as a matter of fact, it looks a little better even! But, that could just be computer trickery or something.." I just grinned really big and thought, "No, its the Lord. Its all the prayers that have been prayed over her little heart!" </div>

Thought it would be fun to share one of the dresses I got to model at the last Factory Art Studios show. The entertainment portion included a fashion show which featured all vintage and/or thrifted and refashioned clothing. Of course, I chose vintage items. This dress is a wonderful 1960's lime green "mod' dress with a white peter pan collar and cuffs and pretty little white flowers. </div>

So I have been compelled to share this little story with you all...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A sweet friend of mine I hadn't spoken with in a while text me the other morning. Just "<em>Hey</em>, <em>Good Morning! I miss you, how are you?!"</em> I was thrilled to hear from her. We used to have lunch together at the shop on Thursdays until she got promoted at her job. She is a radio personality at our area Christian radio station, WBGL. So, I text her back.."<em>We r good, busy, Evelyn turned 2! Goodness! And will you just please keep her in your prayers, we are headed back to Children's Hospital this month and she has a leaky valve.."</em></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUXZLWfPD0II5NllqCmaU6x8vl_9pPX1wy0XKAyxB_sIRUnyFVwGlzenmElWSevIdkou0ggLFTbw6SPR8ufPbQ-Fi-TifrWv44bnDuuKplwvhMTQWMfVdTUShG4IZLTis_XlxRYX0veA/s1600/DSC_1031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUXZLWfPD0II5NllqCmaU6x8vl_9pPX1wy0XKAyxB_sIRUnyFVwGlzenmElWSevIdkou0ggLFTbw6SPR8ufPbQ-Fi-TifrWv44bnDuuKplwvhMTQWMfVdTUShG4IZLTis_XlxRYX0veA/s640/DSC_1031.JPG" width="556" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>She said of course she'd pray, in fact they would pray at their morning prayer meeting at the radio station that morning.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So flash to about 9:30 that night. I'm driving home from putting in some work at our new studio location, about an hour drive from home. I'm listening to WBGL but feeling really tempted to switch stations, see whats playing on top 40 or classic rock or something. At that very moment, I hear my dear friend's sweet voice come on the radio. She is saying, "<em>my friend that I text with this morning; her daughter just turned 2; she had open heart surgery at just 9 days old and she is going back to Children's this month..& we prayed for her this morning..Do you have a prayer request? We would love to say a prayer for you here...</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't believe it. My jaw hung open and I just thought "<em>Ok Lord, I hear ya, I trust you!"</em> He was speaking to me right in that moment. Knowing that I've been more anxious about this visit, knowing that I was feeling tempted in that moment to switch stations, knowing that I needed comforting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I text my friend and told her the story of what happened and I thanked her for allowing the Lord to use her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"<em>He put you in the right place at the right time" she said</em></div>

My goodness, it is hard to believe that 2 years have already gone by since Evelyn came into our lives and changed us forever. She came out looking so perfect and healthy that it was hard to imagine that inside, her heart needed to be fixed. I held on to her extra long tonight as I rocked her and tears came to my eyes thinking about the short 2 or 3 minutes we were able to hold her after she was born before they "whisked" her away. It was 3 days after that before I would get to hold her again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>When I find the time, I plan on writing and sharing Evelyn's complete story. Starting from the day we recieved the devasting, gut wrenching, heart aching news that our baby had a serious problem to the day we finally got to bring our princess home.</em> </div>

We celebrated with a small family party tonight. It was sweet and perfect. Evelyn had already had a big day so she was tired. But, she's a trooper and she loved opening gifts, blowing out her candles and eating cake. She even started saying Happy Birfday! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Her favorite gift was her baby cabbage patch doll from Gma Lila and Gpa Mutache. She kept putting the binky in her mouth over and over and over..</div>
