A lot has gone on since I posted last. Miss P turned one! She is actually 16 months old now and acts like she is 16 YEARS old! She is so busy! I took a video of her yesterday climbing over the couch...she is a monkey! She has three favorite television shows that she freaks out about; Dora, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and The Wonderpets. She has Dora sippy cups and she will point to her and say "Doda".....haha! She says plenty of words and it is hard to keep up. Yelling for "momma" seems to be her favorite thing to do lately. She calls for me when she wakes up, when she's tired, when she has a problem or when she wants to show someone something. It use to be "daddy" constantly and I thought "when is she going to call for MEEE??!?". Now that she does.....constantly.......I think "can she just yell for her daddy ONE time???!!!"....haha! she is also obsessed with shoes and will yell "shooose.....shoooose!" anytime she sees some. It is interesting to walk through the shoe section in the store because she screams it. Gah, I love this kid! She eats pretty much anything you put in front of her and she LOVES mushrooms which is something she OBVIOUSLY gets from her daddy. ;)
Yesterday was a busy busy day for me. I had my Mirena removed and cut my long hair to my shoulders. Yep....that's right....I am ready for another baby AND I have a mom haircut. haha! So, I guess all I can do now is just wait until I see those exciting two pink lines. =) I had the Mirena placed because I figured we'd wait a while until our next kiddo. Then I got to thinking how I really wanted to be finished having children by the time I was 35. Soooo....we decided that we would wait until Miss P was at least a year and a half old before we tried again.
So what am I doing in my spare time right now? Not very much....haha! I am on the hunt for a old timey buffet table with lots of storage, though. If anyone knows of one or wants to get rid of one, give me a shout. I want to re-do one and I have the perfect place for it. I have been having this nagging itch to redecorate my house for about a year. I am tired of my living room and dining/kitchen area....so I am going to pick a friends brain for some ideas on making those areas my own. I have tons and tons of ideas. Here are just a few:
As far as my living room goes, a little paint and creativity go a looooooong way. First of all, I would LOVE to paint and stain the wood around the fireplace. It would completely change the look of the room. After looking at the picture below, I LOVE the 3 mirrors on the wall. I think I will be visiting Hobby Lobby very soon.
I also have dreams of having my television hang above my fireplace. My fireplace is PERFECT for this....we just have a huge projection tv taking up most of the space in our living room. When Mr. B is ready to get rid of it, we will get one that we can mount above the fireplace. Anyway, this next photo is a little too clean and bland for MY taste, but I love the wall color and I like how they threw some zebra print in there. I plan on adding some red and/or green into the mix to give the area some color. This is kind of what I'm wanting, though.
I also love incorporating green. It is hands down my favorite color and probably always will be. I think this room is so pretty and clean. If I had it my way, I would be making a gazillion dollars a year and would spend it mostly on decorating my house........okay, AND buying tons and tons of stuff for Miss P.
Anyway, that's about all the time I have for now. Hopefully the next time I post, I will have a room completed and photos to share. We shall see! Everyone have a great summer!
