T minus 1

It's finally here. This is my last day of being 29. I feel like I should do something crazy to send my twenties out with a bang. Maybe I'll eat carbs for lunch. I'm feeling pretty reckless, so really anything could happen!


Thanks for hanging in there with me while I obsess over my soon-to-be-absent twenties. Don't worry. It'll all be over soon.


Hopefully I won't be too decrepit to type tomorrow.

Shoe fetish

The love of shoes must be ingrained in a female's DNA. Hailey is only 20 months old and she already LOVES shoes. She likes to try on my shoes (or even RJ's) and then parade around the house proudly like she's in a fashion show. Seriously, can she get any cuter?



Here she is showing off in RJ's work boots.





And now she's in RJ's sandals! (And, no. I don't dress her in tan & white every day. This is just a strange coincidence.)

Tag - you're it!

I found a great blog called Just Jules. Actually, she found me. She commented on my last blog post. I am always interested in the way strangers find my blog, so I view their profile and read their blog. It's a great way to find new reads.

Anyway, one of Jules' recent posts: Tag. Open your photos folder and post your 4th picture in your 4th folder. Explain the picture - no editing or cropping!

Here is what I came up with:

This is a picture of my daughter's completed nursery. It was taken a few months before she was born.

My husband did most of the work - he painted the room, constructed and installed the chair rail, and made those shelves you see in the picture there. My mom made the curtains. And I....ummm.....okay, so I supervised. But I carried the baby...isn't that enough?!?!

Anyway, this picture brings back fond memories. I remember sitting in the glider and rubbing my belly while anxiously awaiting the birth of my beautiful baby girl.

For anyone who wants to participate, consider yourself tagged! I can't wait to see your picture!
