Sky Watch Friday & Live Every Moment: Trees

The gorgeous sky from our 73 degree weather day. I am ready for more days like this.

Macro Friday & Show Off

The pineapple I bought the other day. I have been meaning to cut it up. If you can believe it, I have never cut one up before.

Blogging from Bolivia and then, she {snapped}

Foto Friday: SOOC

Carsyn absolutely loves swinging. He seriously would swing all day long. I am really glad he likes it so when Dustyn is playing outside he will swing and I don’t have to hold him all the time. Makes it a little easier on my back. I love his eyelashes. Wish I had lashes like that!

Using all of these for a few of my favorite things. 🙂

    My son doesn't love the swing so much, but my daughter was the same as your son - even to this day (she is four now) she goes straight to the swing at the playground and I have to ask her to go play because she would just swing and swing the whole time if only I'd let her.

    I adore the angle of the shot of your little one. Such a cool perspective. And I love your pineapple shot. Seriously, I'd print that one and put it on your kitchen wall. P.S. I'd never cut a pineapple until recently either. :)

    I love the last shot of Carysn with his dreamy eyelashes. It's amazing how photos that don't show the whole face say so much and leave so much room for the viewer to imagine and paint the rest of the picture. I really, really like this shot. Nice job.
  30. Chic Homeschool Mama says

    February 4, 2011 at 12:18 pm

    Great pineapple shot. I am so addicted to them- we go through a couple a week here. It's harder to find them in the winter but I don't feel healthy if I start lacking on the fruit on a daily basis.
  31. Liv says

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
