Sweet Spring Time

Filed Under: Family, Photography

We have been enjoying this beautiful weather, by spending as much time outside as possible. It was gorgeous today, but I just heard on the news that it is going to cool off for the rest of this week/weekend. Boo!

I am going to enter this first photo of Dustyn into Simplicity’s Sweet Photo Challenge. Dustyn brought me a “flower”. It was so sweet.

Oh the freckles. {I melt}

Giving his buddy, Dudley, a kiss.

Drinking some juice.

Sweet baby boy swinging.

His smile melts my heart.

Peach Fuzzy Hair. Love it!!

Yay for green grass and gorgeous bokeh.

and last but not least Sweet Dixie. I am going to enter this photo into Grace Loves Beatles Eye Photo Challenge. I love the reflection in Dixie’s eyes.

Grace loves the beatles

    Those "flowers" that Dustyn is holding are ALL over my yard..I know they are just weeds, but I kinda like them anyway! I tried to get a pic of Seraphina holding one the other day but ofcourse she tried to eat it instead.. The 2nd pic of him smelling it is soo sweet! That swing looks awesome and he sure does look like he's having a good time!

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

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. 🙌🏼
