I am really wanting to start growing my own herbs. I think it would be so fun to be able to pick my own basil, cilantro, and rosemary. I made homemade basil pesto least night, and I thought to myself "It would be so mice to have my own bail plant". Basil is so expensive at the store. I think I'm going to start researching how to garden.

Dear Someone special

Dear Sugar Baby, 

Occasionally I sit in bed, eat a piece of warm toast with a glass of milk, while I spend time with Jesus. Unfortunately,  the toast produces crumbs, but I try to sweep all of them out, I hope you can look past this.

I promise to bring you a piece of toast and we can share a glass of milk. 

Love,

You're Sweet Ice Tea

Winnie the Pooh

Sunday, I joined the Brannons and Liz to go see the Winnie the Pooh movie. When I saw the preview for Pooh I text LA to ask if I could go with them if they were planning to go see the movie. It was NB first movie, and he was SO excited!!! Zooey Deschanel sings the theme song and a few other song in the movie. Here is one of the songs:



I was so excited to hear her voice. The Movie is really cute and brought back so many memories. I can't wait til my Brown Bear is big enough so I can take him to the movies.

I can't believe Broey is this big already. I've been his babysitter for the past two years. He was a baby back then, but now is talking, walking, and is the most lovable two year old!

Tour

Here is my living room. It's almost finished!!!

First is out built in book cases. So classic.

Here are pictures of the Fire place. The small birdcage is from a friend's baby shower, the bird is from my sissy, roomie's vase, books and my "freak out" project, and my special lamp. My grandpa gave this beautiful lamp to my grandmother. This mirror is my craigslist find painted a new color. 

The candle sticks were on sale and spray painted a soft green.

The next piece belonged to my maternal grandparents. The table use to be a side table in their house. It was originally a dark brown that came right out of the 70's, but my dad and I found this great blue. I kept the knobs the original color, and love it. I think it's so cool I have pieces from both sets of grandparents in my new home.

 

 Here is my other refurbish piece. A friend of mine was raising money for a mission trip to NW africa. I saw this drink cart and knew I had to have it. i brought it home spray painted it gold and know its a side table. I found the rotary phone in San Antonio and I love antique white vases.

Here are a few more angles:

The pictures are also from my friend's mission trip fundraiser. The frames were originally brown, but
I painted them to match the candle sticks. 

That's all for now. Next room: my bedroom.

Projects Galore

Moving into a new place means their are DIY's galore. The latest, but not the first I will be posting about, is my "freak out" project. Tonight, I had a emotional night of a sort, but thankful for Jesus and friends.

I needed a a project so I rummaged through my closet. I had a vase and twine and ended up with this.

Then decided to work on my mantle.

YAY for being creative.

Moon River

I found this beautiful rendition of one of my all time favorite songs.I will listen to this til I have a chance to visit NYC.......




Doesn't the song remind you of a cold fall night that ends with a warm fire and hot cocoa?

San Antonio Weekend Part 1

This past weekend I went to San Antonio and it was so much fun! My sister just moved there for her new job and  it was so nice to be with her.

Friday, I got in late and my sister made me balsamic chicken and a salad. Saturday, we slept in a little late, got ready for the say, then went to Antique Shopping. My sister found a cute side table a window frame to hang in her room. I found a mirror, an copy of "The Lone Ranger", and a old turquoise rotary phone.

We then went to the Quarry and bought some new pillows. I have been needing new pillows, becasue they are a little flat, so it was perfect timing. We also went to Whole Foods and had so much fun. We were able to try so many yummy foods and they were all organic. For lunch our friend, Christina, came over and we met at Chris Madrid's.

I saw an old college friend, Trey, and it was such a treat. I would high;y reccommend Chris madrid's the next time you are in SA!

That's all for now. Next 4th of July
