Scavenger Hunt Sunday | 05.13.2012

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

First of all Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom!! I love you!! Thank you for always being there for me and for being a fantastic mom to me and grandma to my boys!

Also Happy Mother’s Day to all of my friends!! I hope you enjoy your day and get a little break!!

Here is a message from my boys to you!

{photo taken by Ashley Sisk}

In case you haven’t heard, we were out of town all last week. It was a crazy busy week hanging out with old blog friends and meeting new blog friends. I had such a great time.

Sidewalk

Dustyn and Sarah‘s son, Dylan, became quick friends. Here there are walking down the sidewalk holding hands. It was so sweet and didn’t last too long. He he. They got to hang out a lot this week.

Inspiring

I was also able to take some maternity photos for Ashley. She is so inspiring to me, I just love her photos and the wonderful person she is inside. She is going to be such an awesome mom!

Time

What shows time more then a sunset? I captured this on a walk with Sarah, her family and all my boys.

Close-Up

Our hotel was surrounded by gorgeous flowers. I was able to go out and capture a few close-ups.

With Mirror

Carsyn loved the elevators with the mirror. He would laugh and laugh. Whenever someone rode an elevator with us they couldn’t help but laugh at him laughing.

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. 🙌🏼
