has been obsessively "redecorating"

When I say redecorating, I mean re purposing items I already own to other rooms of my house.

Today, 3 of the 4 floors were involved. I switched up entire room color schemes, I rearranged plants, pillows and paintings. I am even honestly thinking about turning my old duvet cover into curtains for the playroom/office. Does that sound crazy?

I also ordered these FLOR Fedora tiles in Oatmeal from CB2 for the living room.



From the CB2 website:
"Our fave carpet squares go menswear in the soft, heathered felt of a haberdasher's hat. Kudos to Fedora's 80% post-consumer fibers and great price, making the green life accessible to all. Arrange to your liking; rinse off spills in sink."


I'm telling you, I'm on a mission.

is starting to think about christmas cards

I haven't had too much luck with my cards the past few years. The one year I designed my own from Shutterfly arrived incredibly blurry. After that I would just choose one of the limited choices from The Picture People as they rushed us in and out due to the holiday frenzy.

This year I'm determined to get it right. I'm going to try and stage a little photo shoot for the girls, which is no easy feat - getting a picture where they are both recognizable hasn't been my strong suit (yet...). After getting said photo, I'll choose one of the beautiful cards on either Minted or Tiny Prints, check out some of my faves below.

Wish us luck!

found the cutest backpack

I haven't worn one in years but I really really want this one from Serena and Lily. I've been trying hard to rationalize this purchase. Hmmm - gym bag, diaper bag, laundry bag.......

got gifted!

I'm loving this online magazine geared towards my favorite time of year......

How gorgeous is the gift wrap on the cover?

went to the Great Jack-O-Lantern Blaze!

It was about an hour each way which feels like eternity with two babies in the backseat but it was worth it.......4000 Jack-O-Lanterns!!!

christmas wish list addition

Every Christmas I like to get 1 pair of good quality winter boots. In the past I've got Uggs and the Hunter Original Wellies.

This year I'm debating between these :

or these:

Two completely different looks, one is frivolous and fun while the other is a tried and true classic.

Hmmm, which way to go? Thoughts?

did some damage at Target!

One of my favorite places to shop. Even more now that they have fresh produce and groceries in a couple nearby locations. Seriously, I'm all about killing two birds with one stone. The only downside of shopping in those types of huge mass-retailers is the second you are driving out of the parking lot you remember that you forgot to buy the item that was the reason you went there (today it was AAA batteries).

While there I saw the cutest birthday party set, The Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.



I'm already knee deep in planning Olivia's Strawberry Shortcake Pool Party for December but I was tempted to buy it to save for Sophia's birthday in July. I think it would make the cutest picnic party......
