Friday Fun

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Today’s my 26th Birthday. Just crazy. I am not sure what our plans are this weekend. We may go to the strawberry festival, not sure though. I wish we had big birthday plans, but nothings planned yet.

I just love, love, love this photo.

Favorite Photo from May, Little Somethings: Warmth, Foto Friday: On & On, Favorite Photo from the week.

Click it up a notch little somethings and then, she {snapped} Grace Loves the Beatles

Photobucket Skywatch Friday

Another photo from the carnival last weekend. Live Every Moment: Vibrant Colors

They had where you could make your own slushy’s. I had fun mixing the colors.

Live Every Moment

I took the boys to the park today and met some friends.  We met the people from Parents as Teachers and she set up stations for the kids to paint with. Dustyn had a blast.

Carsyn hung out in the stroller and watched everyone.

We came across these ducks. So cute.

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! 🎄

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. 😆

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. 🙌🏼
