I Guess You Heard

We've moved!

We have been so busy packing up and unpacking and getting settled. Pictures to come, I promise!

For now, enjoy a scene from our Mother's Day Extravaganza last weekend!

New House love and all of mine!

Bienvenidos!

On Friday, we met up with our realtor to let my family have a sneak peek at our new place. It was fun to get Mama and Haley Beth's perspective on decorating and using the space.

So continuing on our inspirational tour, moving past our front porch, welcome to our (use your imagination people!) entry way!

Each inspiration piece was a jumping off piece to the next. In so, I tried to unite the pieces without matching the pieces.

All were Google images except: Pillow-Pier 1. Ribba frames-Ikea. Bowl-Anthropologie.

Front Porch Inspiration

After day dreaming a bit about this little lady a little too much, I've decided to put my thoughts down in Paint. I'd thought I'd give you a virtual inspirational tour starting with our front porch today! Welcome to our casa! From top left. Young House Love exterior paint. Fan, Fern, Wicker set, Black shutters from Home Depot. Red doors found on Google. Inspired love and all of mine!

I'll Put The Ensure On Ice

Today I turned 23. And don't worry, I beat you to it -- I'm putting the Ensure on ice. (King of Queens anyone?) Gardener Guy treated me to pizza after my night class, a night of The Office (until the National Championship comes on).

In other news: I'm saving all my green gifts for this little lady:
A new(ish) Chic Cottage!

We've lived in our current Chic Cottage for almost a year. It's going to be hard to move out of this place and living so close to my parents but it's exciting making plans. Plus, most of my memories are up at the Big House anyway, so they will still be there. And no worries Mama -- I will be in town for Saturday morning coffee!

We are still in the process of closing for this house, so if all goes through, we will be closing and moving in by the end of the month!

Planning love and all of mine!

Spring Break Inspiration

T minus 7 days until we leave port on a Carribbean cruise with the whole Chic family!

Here is my inspiration:

Gardener Guy and I have been working since January (Ok, ok I started 2 weeks ago) working out each night and eating much healthier ( = No pop! No snacks! Lean meat!) with the cruise as our motivator. GG has lost 30 pounds and I have lost a quarter of that.

Pictures are sure to be coming!

Cruising love and all of mine!

Chic Sista

I have a Chic Sista.

Ok 2 actually, 2 Baby Chic Sistas. My Baby Lisa hooked me up with a precious header.

Love it. Love her. Plus, check her out here to see her remixing the bridesmaids dress she wore at my wedding.

Baby Lisa: want to work on a button for me? Of course that means I will need to step up my blogging game.

Chic Sista love and all of mine!

Different Blue Chair

A picture is worth a thousand words. So since there are about 14,000 words, I will limit mine.

Before and "In Progress" Photos of our 1st Love Shack!
Please tell me you can tell the difference between our Befores, and our "In Progress" right? Ok, whew!

By the way, that is different blue recliner. Scout's honor. Even though I wasn't a Scout, I can give you Scout's honor because I ate 2 whole boxes of Girl Scout cookies in January and February. There I go rambling again.



Apparently, microfiber couches do not photograph well. Like they make us look filthy, but they are clean!



Valentine's gifts from Gardener Guy and Daddy!

Sloppy Joes for dinner!




In Progress love and all of mine!

Daddy's Girl

It wasn't until later in life that I heard this story. But boy, that Daddy sure new what he was doing.

My Daddy always sent his girls roses on Valentine's Day, even when we were very young. It was always a treat at school to receive roses, but I never knew why he did that, except that he was a great Daddy. But, Daddy sent us roses so that when we got a boyfriend, and he sent us flowers we wouldn't think it was anything special because our Dad always did that for us. Well, it's kind of ironic that the 1st boy that sent me flowers, married me 7 years later.

"I don't need your flowers, my Daddy sends me them."

And that is why I am a Daddy's Girl. Oh yeah, I love you too Mama!

Valentine's Day love and all of mine!

PS. Yes, I double dipped this year: Daddy and Gardener Guy sent me roses, and yes I love them both.

Papoose

Gardener Guy's cousin and her husband are parents again to a beautiful baby girl. Baby Ava Grace. I just love that name, so now it is off of our baby name list.

Anyway, I have Baby Fever, no not Bieber Fever, Baby Fever thanks to all of these adorable babies in our families and at church.

Gardener Guy says no, but that is neither here nor there.

In my sorority, my "daughter" was my Papoose because she always wore moccasins. I found these on Old Navy, perfect for a real Papoose.

Baby love and all of mine!

Meet Virginia

Ok, well not Virginia.


But, meet Phoebe.
Ferocious, Fiesty, Phoebe Ferrari.

I'm working on uploading a video of Phoebe playing with her cousin Harley who lets her romp and play all that she wants. Her big sister Jasmine, not so much.

Puppy love and all of mine!
