When it rains, it pours, right? I had to very unexpectedly head out of town on Friday and got home late last night. My husband did a great job with the kids, canceled a boatload of meetings at clients yesterday and kept them alive and happy. But, the house is a mess….the fridge empty and thanks to a painting incident…..I may not have to beg for a new family room couch much longer!

Harry and I have already had a busy morning, grocery shopping (Dad deserves a nice glass of wine and a yummy dinner), two post office runs and a trip to see progress on the house. I am going to take the rest of the day off for a picnic in the park, laundry and clean up around here (you seriously would never know the housekeeper was here all day yesterday).
I’ll see you back here tomorrow!
And, P.S. if I owe you a return email…..it is coming, I promise!
This image made me smile. How fun would this be in a playroom or private family space?

This company can help you achieve this look, your photos or theirs….
It sortof reminds me of this nursery.
I like it, you?

I am fortunate to live in a neighborhood with a very active and involved network of parents. I joined our neighborhood preschool association as soon as we moved here last year and decided to jump in and join a committee to try to meet people. This association has one big fundraiser a year, a Holiday Home Tour, and all proceeds go to support the Kindergarten classes at our two neighborhood elementary schools, Armstrong and Bradfield. In the past 11 years the group has raised over $350,000 that directly benefits our schools. Last year, this fundraiser provided nearly $60,000 to our schools.
The tour is finally here on Friday…..and it is sure to be great! The 12th annual Armstrong Bradfield Preschool Association Homes for the Holidays Home Tour will feature four homes in Highland Park, Texas + one bonus home with wine & canapés. It is this Friday, from 9:30-1:00 pm. If you are interested in attending, feel free to stop by the neighborhood Tom Thumbs or purchase online here.
Let me know if you plan to attend…I’ll be there!
Well, after 10 wonderful days at the beach we are back.
Now it is back to reality. Maddie is back in school, our beloved Beagle “General” is in critical care at the hospital, decisions to be made for the house, and a huge back-load of buying service requests. But, it was all worth it….we had such an incredible vacation. Four days sans kids (thanks nanny and auntie) and a week with family capped off with a great family wedding and it is a trip we will remember fondly for a while!
Please excuse this intermission while we head on vacation.
I’ll be back soon.
A year ago today you entered the world and completed our little family. I didn’t know what I would do with a boy…..and now I cannot imagine life without you.
From your sweet smile and belly laughs to your budding sense of humor, you make me smile and warm my heart.
I love you my sweet little Harry!
