Home Styles

I love watching home renovating shows, moving shows, decorating shows and all that sort of thing on TV.  We’ve had gorgeous weather here lately….I was driving around and had my camera with me and I just started driving through these adorable neighborhoods….dreaming…..
 
Maybe a little bit stalkerish….but I love looking at homes.  Especially ones that aren’t cookie cutters of each other.  I love that all these homes were charming and had character.  I’m sure they all have a great history behind them too.
 
I love this style here…the windows and arches. So cute.
I love the arched windows & door on this home:
Cute fall porch
Gorgeous. A little out of our league though!
Love this wrap around porch too!
Pretty fall wreaths
This home was so charming, I love the bright color.
Fall porch
I dunno…I might be afraid to trick-or-treat here???
 
And last but not least….a photo of my booger.

Man he is getting so big 🙂
 


And because this blog is all about dreams and hopes…..

 

Love this floor plan.

 

I don’t want a two story home and this has the perfect amount of space without being too big to keep clean…..someday 🙂  It’s fun to dream……

I totally spaced and forgot to link up today with my fall nail polish and scarf swap!!!
 
 Typical.
 
Thank you Jessica & Ashlee for organizing this fun swap! 
  
My partner, Ricci, did a fabulous job 🙂
 
 
Love the nail polish she chose.  I bright red/pinky hue with a glitter multi-colored bottle too!
 
I love me some bling bling!
The scarf is so me.  It’s got sparkles through it too.  It’s a pink as well….and obviously I love pink!

Kind of Obsessed

Good Morning all!
It’s been a crazy busy week at work and at home!
But such is life and I just love this time of year 🙂
I love these super soft long sleeved shirts from the Gap.
They were on sale for $12 this past weekend and they have so many bright colors!
 Snuggles with my sweet boy!
I left my hair curly….we kind of look the same now…ha ha!
 La-La-La Leopard wine glasses from Zulily….LOVE.
Blake Lively’s engagement ring….drooooool……
I love that oval shape with the rose gold.  Gorgeous!

I saw these frames at Christmas in Cowtown and I’m in love with them too…unfortunately they are a whopping $275!!!  I wish I could justify that?  But they are HUGE and would take up good space on a wall.

 Don’t you just love these OMBRE glasses from Coach? 
So funky and fun!

What are you obsessing over right now?

Photo Happy….Get Ready For Christmas!

 It’s time to get picture happy people! 
Christmas is only 77 days away!!!
I took some pictures of Connor yesterday while I was home with him.  I give all kinds of props to stay at home moms….even though I get a little disappointed some days I’m not one.  It’s work people.  Of course I would love it, but I also love my job and adult interaction everyday.  I never think of my glass half empty…it’s half full and we are very blessed 🙂
So here’s my day with crazy Connor boy:
 He makes the goofiest expressions!

He really loves TINY cars right now.  He also is in the stage of where he wants to stick everything in his mouth!

 And when he’s tired of taking pictures he lets me know by this look:

“Mom stop already!”

 Don’t forget I’m running a Christmas photo special right now too all you DFW peeps!
