Everywhere I look, I'm hoping to find inspiration. The fact that we love color, shouldn't surprise you!! And when I think about "Outdoor Living," all I can think about, is fun colors.<br /><br />Colors that mimic tropical places. Things that are fun. And happy. But also inspiration, for "transitional" spaces. Places that link, the outside, with the inside. Like this little entry way.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzX_3hkiBeaN-1LcVZx5ly6oolfm8BYS86w0YiuNlEV_gP2Ygz8EXkZAciKPqI7pvGMIFRJb2dxFVyr8mT5gHb-StIcs_WMejaLkmjDmf5ZozH08bN2ulPOUlFmvud6IOkTkkeHKmsc8/s1600/93F15B2D15BF599826A5EABF3881.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734544779776204786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzX_3hkiBeaN-1LcVZx5ly6oolfm8BYS86w0YiuNlEV_gP2Ygz8EXkZAciKPqI7pvGMIFRJb2dxFVyr8mT5gHb-StIcs_WMejaLkmjDmf5ZozH08bN2ulPOUlFmvud6IOkTkkeHKmsc8/s320/93F15B2D15BF599826A5EABF3881.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I can see this, as our back entry way. That space, that links our indoor living, with our outdoor living. Functional, fun, and inviting. A place where we can drop off muddy shoes, wet pool towels, and such. Now I need to start planning.... :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-62947074339549975922012-05-02T14:10:00.000-06:002012-05-02T14:10:00.495-06:00The Dog Days of SummerIt's no secret, we live in the desert. And it gets hot here. Unbelievably hot! The kind of hot, that makes you want to run for cover! When you find yourself, sweating so much, and you are just sitting there. Doing nothing!<br /><br />As Jose puts it, you usually can't do a thing, after 9am. And it doesn't start to cool down, until 8pm. Ugh! We are not the AC loving kind of people. Nope! We enjoy having the windows open, and a few fans on. But in this kind of heat, that is just not possible....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF6mjK5Q589YffVZ6AssmxJRWy2yKeiH3eHyIz4YSnQszVxRxIWSW0PvpG3S2zGhdLfy2TmLc2l1L89C1bE7lRmyi83ljv2TBj1Y4wIcdiUwbUfybXFEfAyP4BWp7vsrd8yfn10uHHpT4/s1600/2126dff8d86847afbb478723defe359d.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 192px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734505875364103426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF6mjK5Q589YffVZ6AssmxJRWy2yKeiH3eHyIz4YSnQszVxRxIWSW0PvpG3S2zGhdLfy2TmLc2l1L89C1bE7lRmyi83ljv2TBj1Y4wIcdiUwbUfybXFEfAyP4BWp7vsrd8yfn10uHHpT4/s320/2126dff8d86847afbb478723defe359d.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I can't believe, that it's just the end of April, and it's already so hot! Sticky and everything. We've been working on projects this week, but find that by 11am, we have to go inside. What's Summer going to be like? I'm sort of worried about the real "Dog Days of Summer...." :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-257242346048736372012-04-22T14:22:00.003-06:002012-04-23T04:13:48.781-06:00Planning....It should be no big surprise, that <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MariachiLocoJM">Jose</a> works weekends. He's a musician. The weekend, well it's our "Bread and Butter." Bu it also gives me, time to hangout with friends, and all our kids. Yes, all our husbands are musicians!<br /><br />Jose and I have been doing a lot of work on our home. Since we bought it really. The first 12-18 months, we focused on the interior. Now, we're starting to focus on the outside. Mostly because our little one, is able to play a little better, on her own. And enjoys the outside. That makes me so happy! The big yard, is what sold me, on our home!<br /><br />I've got so many ideas! My spare Saturdays, aren't helping either! I spend the mornings with friends. Shopping around the Farmers Market, Lowe's, and Home Depot. I'm yearning to make one of those vertical garden boxes, from the Home Depot commercial. But fill it with herbs! Then I spend the afternoons, while Baby Jelly Bean is napping, watching <a href="www.pbs.com/">PBS</a>. And all their amazing gardening shows! You should see my list of plants, flowers, and trees that I want! Anyway, I was searching out the instructions, on the Home Depot project last night, and I found this picture.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaJB_06-fJt-1K230iAjGnhB2D_o5cP0foT6VRwsvC_MRw_dMF0uQtzl2ksfQGkO8GdyCY6iFTZxaNPRerMnBXIcrCsTq9FZFMycsski9vvVO3X21iKFpyF1R8DhAuB5qUhFjRwKOMgXY/s1600/diy-garden8_large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 212px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734494064573312274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaJB_06-fJt-1K230iAjGnhB2D_o5cP0foT6VRwsvC_MRw_dMF0uQtzl2ksfQGkO8GdyCY6iFTZxaNPRerMnBXIcrCsTq9FZFMycsski9vvVO3X21iKFpyF1R8DhAuB5qUhFjRwKOMgXY/s320/diy-garden8_large.jpg" /></a><br /><br />So of course, I followed the link. Thank you <a href="www.google.com/">Google</a>! It doesn't always work for me. But this time, it did. And I found <a href="http://www.homestoriesatoz.com/2012/03/diy-garden-planter-birds-bath.html">this tutorial</a>! This morning, I told Jose all about it! He had that look on his face. Which translates loosely into "What are you talking about?" I should have probably let him wake up. That's another thing about musicians. He got home from work around 3am. I was talking about bird baths at 6am.<br /><br />Eventually, my husband was wide awake. We talked. Went to church. And parted ways. Turns out, the Mariachi has a full day of work today. Well, Baby Jelly Bean and I, headed for Lowe's. I knew that I could get the supplies there, for less. But we stopped at Home Depot. I just happened to hear on the radio, about a sale there. On flowers!<br /><br />Tomorrow, is Monday. The day most people go back to work. It's like Jose's Saturday. I just checked his calendar. I don't know if I've ever talked about it here. But Jose is a musician, in a Mariachi. And sometimes in the Symphony. But he also runs his own web company. Building websites, and maintaining them. For companies.<br /><br />Well, it doesn't look like he has anything scheduled for tomorrow. Baby Jelly Bean and I noticed, the weather is going to be perfect! 96 degrees, slight afternoon breezes. Can you guess what our family is going to be doing? Building <a href="http://www.homestoriesatoz.com/2012/03/diy-garden-planter-birds-bath.html">this bird bath</a>. And planting the 3 flats of flowers I bought! :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-28310625893781117502012-04-19T13:14:00.004-06:002012-04-23T04:13:30.052-06:00Dreaming....I've been searching for some inspiration. For our home. And our yard. Don't you just love, searching through design blogs? Well, I do! Even doing random searches on <a href="www.google.com/">Google</a>, make me very happy!<br /><br />I found this picture, during a recent <a href="www.google.com/">Google</a> search. Forget about all those cactus! I've seen more of those, than I'd like to admit. In fact, we dug out, a ton from our yard. When we first moved here. I'm not a fan. Neither is <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MariachiLocoJM">Jose</a>! I like pretty flowers and shady trees. Mi <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">esposo</span>, likes tropical yards and lots of grass.<br /><br />But that pool, and that sitting area....I adore!! There is something about all those colors. I like the subtle design. But the fun colors. It gives me so many ideas!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2OjrAHTEx5T9VDbWXb_cFlIxolQFydRop9qCqy-aArQSM7SYPpqXP9k7XDgL5ziUhZ8HdKyHsvgkOaGh1LyP4mxE8ghkh_hqt5j_WjNJ5VD-TNCvTOF9yLeUGaP2fpOADNubqJkN-cBI/s1600/9316D929188CDD2A64A6D3B1FA945.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734529036950824178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2OjrAHTEx5T9VDbWXb_cFlIxolQFydRop9qCqy-aArQSM7SYPpqXP9k7XDgL5ziUhZ8HdKyHsvgkOaGh1LyP4mxE8ghkh_hqt5j_WjNJ5VD-TNCvTOF9yLeUGaP2fpOADNubqJkN-cBI/s320/9316D929188CDD2A64A6D3B1FA945.jpg" /></a><br /><br />We have a swimming pool. And we've been wanting to do some work on it. It's one of those projects, that we've been saving money for. Because, it's going to take a pretty penny! Because of this picture, I want to look into turquoise tile. For our pool. And white decking. With lots of tropical plants. Don't forget the fun colors!! :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-91756849216668218832012-04-12T13:40:00.005-06:002012-04-23T02:59:34.229-06:00She Needs a Hideout!!Baby Jelly Bean is now just over 16 months old. We've got this play thing, down to a science! Her <a href="http://sweetnightingalesing.blogspot.com/">Nana</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/PapaMemo55">Nono</a>, shower her with gifts. As does <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MariachiLocoJM">Daddy</a>. But you know what my darling daughter likes to play with most? Blankets, sheets, anything that she can make into a tent!<br /><br />It's not lie! When I go to get her out of her crib, she's somehow draped her little blankie, to make a tent. And is under there, playing with her most favorite teddy! So I've been on the hunt, for a small tent. Something that is very kid friendly! Breathable. And still pretty. Something that can grow with her.<br /><br />I haven't had much luck. The only one that I found, that I liked, was much too expensive! But I didn't give up. Kept <a href="www.google.com/">Googling</a>. That's when I found these pictures....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisGtLYkY-uqSzjC5diPYssMhfZ5DPIDNDVln3m4qVT0OWTvHaz760bzxi4MTffq5aI0m83AIWKnf-CJLCdXYyIHKeLBn2MCRWm7TmhGRU2M-8RfFqvHSpWwJRT1eEboiJBwVD8iC79lnQ/s1600/5697877863_eecbcfd54a_b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 205px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734515522568503650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisGtLYkY-uqSzjC5diPYssMhfZ5DPIDNDVln3m4qVT0OWTvHaz760bzxi4MTffq5aI0m83AIWKnf-CJLCdXYyIHKeLBn2MCRWm7TmhGRU2M-8RfFqvHSpWwJRT1eEboiJBwVD8iC79lnQ/s320/5697877863_eecbcfd54a_b.jpg" /></a><br /><br />What do you think? A fun DIY project for Jose? That's what I'm thinking! If only I can find the actual site, where these are posted. But maybe, my lover can figure it out. From just these 2 pictures. He's good like that! ;) Let me tell you, I've convinced him to do so many projects!<br /><br />Between, don't you just love those hanging pots? So colorful! And the chalk board. Don't get me started on the rug. Or the fabric on the tent. Such great ideas....all around!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqAC4EojtYX8HYynpZomxKYxdyloYNaULLqjooK-KWLv7Be59FWq9w1rPeMRm8oskPAKSk5yQfqKnLLVWv9b-o-r7Vbp7-OgjKLdQeAi2eRgAolHYBsMArDHS5eJQsNFV6wfkj1VG5cNI/s1600/5697918177_4b18502d25_b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 213px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734515528457603986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqAC4EojtYX8HYynpZomxKYxdyloYNaULLqjooK-KWLv7Be59FWq9w1rPeMRm8oskPAKSk5yQfqKnLLVWv9b-o-r7Vbp7-OgjKLdQeAi2eRgAolHYBsMArDHS5eJQsNFV6wfkj1VG5cNI/s320/5697918177_4b18502d25_b.jpg" /></a><br /><br />And such a cozy, and safe hideout, for our Baby Jelly Bean. I could actually see the 2 of us, in there, reading. Or just snuggling.

I can whip one of these up, for my sweet girl! With a G of course!! I just think it's so fun. And a perfect addition, for Baby Jelly Bean's "Art Wall." Can you say perfect timing? My grandma just gave me a HUGE jar of old buttons. Colorful and fun buttons. This is definitely the project to use them on. Now I just need to run to Hobby Lobby. I think I'm starting to become a crafter!! :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-16915453147952944532012-04-02T13:55:00.001-06:002012-04-23T02:10:19.991-06:00When I Have Too Much Time....<a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MariachiLocoJM">My husband</a> is working. He got a new client, and is spending hours, with his computer. Working on this new project. Baby Jelly Bean, is deep into her nap. Girly has been taking some good naps lately! Me? I'm supposed to be searching for a recipe. For our "Family Style Dinner." Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, we go to church. Enjoy a nice mass, and head to <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/PapaMemo55">Memo's house</a> for dinner. Every single week! During Lent, add in Friday nights. Don't forget, everyone has their parties at his house too!<br /><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/PapaMemo55">Our Compadre</a> just has the biggest heart ever! Enjoys having everyone over. Supplies 99.9% of the food. Gets upset, when we so much as try to clean up. But, I still want to contribute. In some way. I thought about baking something for tonight. That lead me to <a href="www.google.com/">Google</a>. My best, and worst, friend! While throwing some words into the search bar, I somehow, came up with these pictures!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgowdNzg0arNXuhmbA7M6WItip3jXWtCOqk0X9-JGg-AFbOcwYFerM64d1LiXRH9kvkR-KaG0-l4fVHn0BH333Itb1kNuL0rCZNT0QNZWbDnvJW6Q2RPhca474v9uq_GXEdeBqQrERa7fM/s1600/DSC_1298.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 231px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734502309903759250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgowdNzg0arNXuhmbA7M6WItip3jXWtCOqk0X9-JGg-AFbOcwYFerM64d1LiXRH9kvkR-KaG0-l4fVHn0BH333Itb1kNuL0rCZNT0QNZWbDnvJW6Q2RPhca474v9uq_GXEdeBqQrERa7fM/s320/DSC_1298.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Um, hello!

Immediately, I went to our kitchen. And realized, that we don't own many wooden utensils. That's unfortunate! But we do have 2 spoons. And I realized, I bought a 4 pack of wooden utensils, not too long ago. What did I do with them?<br /><br />I figure, I can paint my own. I called <a href="http://sweetnightingalesing.blogspot.com/">our Commadre</a>, and asked her advise on the paint. She told me exactly what to buy. And I've got my list. Oh, ya. I was supposed to be looking for recipes. Maybe I should just head to the store. Pick up my supplies. And a few cake mixes, with frosting. Cupcakes sound good to me! Maybe I'll throw in a few of these fun spoons, for our Compadre too! :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-85481770790468889662012-03-30T13:17:00.001-06:002012-04-23T02:27:53.221-06:00Where Have These Been All My Life??I recently came across these pictures.

How did I not think of this? And where has this picture been, all my life? In fact, I couldn't wait. Not one minute! When I saw this picture, I got up, found my Peeps. And made a plate of these. Shh! I ate all 3. While Jose was gone. And my daughter was napping! Yes, I think I found my new favorite Springtime treat! :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-68241691335855335562012-02-07T13:41:00.005-07:002012-04-23T04:41:06.860-06:00Super Sweet and Fun!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLeUkRoV6qlGg-yzOIC0YolpJ7FR3BQpNknow1hq6Ce_S08F93u94OrvstijeXgsumuJT38AFr8j_XcTddGXq3DMZNeRXD8ifcKjIhIt084djBFXiFw7V-0LpNPjZXZoMMdoClPrQIOyw/s1600/beaded-garland2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 238px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734543462006372482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLeUkRoV6qlGg-yzOIC0YolpJ7FR3BQpNknow1hq6Ce_S08F93u94OrvstijeXgsumuJT38AFr8j_XcTddGXq3DMZNeRXD8ifcKjIhIt084djBFXiFw7V-0LpNPjZXZoMMdoClPrQIOyw/s320/beaded-garland2.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I sort of wish, that I'd found this picture, before Baby Jelly Bean's birthday party. Don't the garlands look so fun? I also adore the colors!! I'm going to file this, in my brain. For her 2nd birthday. But these colors, they just inspire me. Maybe I'll use them, to start decorating my office. I just think these colors, are so happy and fun! :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-67188973306780061332012-02-02T14:04:00.005-07:002012-04-23T04:23:15.871-06:00Start Growing<a href="http://mifamiliamexicana.blogspot.com/">Marissa</a> always comes up with some ideas. Always! Things that seem, well beyond her years. She came to us, last night, and started telling us about "water gardening!" I'm thinking, her class has to be doing something like this. She just kept on and on....and on! I love that girl! She's always teaching us new things.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9c9_IN89u7jubmRKug89bAsyM9eWk-0nw7RhxHHzbixYfaZejWQ9o7jgrle6hQZJR7l2sGj1xlkfyfBREofgfoucVZHr4X3KaFGJjf6FAjL5fzhEWNs4lSkWjon8mve-c0qFr86PF-TQ/s1600/untitled.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 214px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734538704502516402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9c9_IN89u7jubmRKug89bAsyM9eWk-0nw7RhxHHzbixYfaZejWQ9o7jgrle6hQZJR7l2sGj1xlkfyfBREofgfoucVZHr4X3KaFGJjf6FAjL5fzhEWNs4lSkWjon8mve-c0qFr86PF-TQ/s320/untitled.png" /></a><br /><br />Well, by the end of dinner, she convinced us all, to grow our own green onions. Poor <a href="http://mifamiliamexicana.blogspot.com/">Sals</a>. I'm thinking, she's going to be growing lettuce. In her windowsill! But don't you dare think, that a 6 year old, doesn't know what she's talking about. When I got home, I took to <a href="www.google.com/">Google</a>! And this process, is all the rage! I better get my green onions started. :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-67392553627692399622011-11-28T13:40:00.002-07:002012-04-23T03:36:51.366-06:00Little Reindeers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkV35OkqtRVN9gy_2RVP05IbNuxRxzD94k3OlwAO8TRpw3oAI2r8uulnk2cePpp4_x7nk9Ymu5STwL_LkRwLD7JcBPUWn9cPCwageIGH0qJl_hQ5_fMw2P5EFVU_RK9abBiuVJJTQ_VAk/s1600/IMG_1850-1024x731.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 229px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734527076693877138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkV35OkqtRVN9gy_2RVP05IbNuxRxzD94k3OlwAO8TRpw3oAI2r8uulnk2cePpp4_x7nk9Ymu5STwL_LkRwLD7JcBPUWn9cPCwageIGH0qJl_hQ5_fMw2P5EFVU_RK9abBiuVJJTQ_VAk/s320/IMG_1850-1024x731.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I just found this picture. These are little reindeer, hair clips. Made out of ribbon and jingle bells. So perfect, that I can't stand it! I might just have to try the "Crafty World." Because these cuties, are just too perfect for Christmas! And my sweet girl!! :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-56336722302864044622011-09-20T13:24:00.002-06:002012-04-23T04:12:56.572-06:00A Little Inspiration!!If you are a personal friend, or a family member, you know about our constant "Home Projects." It's been constant. Since we moved into our home. But we've really enjoyed it!<br /><br />In the beginning, it was all about new floors, and painting. Then little by little, we've tackled other projects. Big projects! Remodeling our Master Suite. Then our bathrooms. Baby Jelly Bean's nursery, that was a work of great love! My favorite project hands down!!<br /><br />We've even tackled our weird den. And all those old built ins. Our back patio. And eventually, the kitchen. All the "hard spaces." The "bones" of our home. But the fun stuff, the decorating, has been coming along slowly.<br /><br />Don't be surprised when I tell you, we're nowhere near done! There are still some spaces, that we have to finish up. Things that we've been searching for inspiration for. That is why I was so happy, when I found these 2 pictures! Hello! Just my style!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65LavKLY-DK6QX2k4wizfaFsrgwHl1cNJBzU0tyr0uk23b1dvac4SEMG81q8r6NrC6D2Xj8zTE0_z8vvUBddzhecQts3b7dZ1OBhbJALu-0fEpVTV2ysr-P074FvZvMlq89JXmoTnrh8/s1600/6A7D21F6C432F1752C26E6D645F58B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 256px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734531794106152546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65LavKLY-DK6QX2k4wizfaFsrgwHl1cNJBzU0tyr0uk23b1dvac4SEMG81q8r6NrC6D2Xj8zTE0_z8vvUBddzhecQts3b7dZ1OBhbJALu-0fEpVTV2ysr-P074FvZvMlq89JXmoTnrh8/s320/6A7D21F6C432F1752C26E6D645F58B.jpg" /></a><br /><br />This pantry nook area, is perfect! We have this odd space. Our laundry room is large. And sits between our kitchen, and our garage. It's a pretty large room. With the washer and dryer to one side. At the opposite end, is a gorgeous window. The previous owners, had a large desk there. But I couldn't imagine a desk in this space. It just didn't seem like a useful space to me.<br /><br />This picture has given me some ideas. We could try our hand at a built in unit. It would be the perfect place, to display some of my collection. You've got it! I collect colorful dishes, and glass! It would definitely be a pretty sight, when I'm doing laundry.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKmQjvqBJ1qJPHwYYmLvfLGfAXyOHE_MhS-vOH_lpu3oyvUgkVwYxywbR2-opkW-Eb1eLoL3UoqjVZwJ5DGPfdaUYCxpZ8qlz12w2gMH91GqteFdlLFr3pXy2SkJ0OU9_soQTguxMPeHI/s1600/75761F991E9887E24F3F5C6574574A.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5734531794522081682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKmQjvqBJ1qJPHwYYmLvfLGfAXyOHE_MhS-vOH_lpu3oyvUgkVwYxywbR2-opkW-Eb1eLoL3UoqjVZwJ5DGPfdaUYCxpZ8qlz12w2gMH91GqteFdlLFr3pXy2SkJ0OU9_soQTguxMPeHI/s320/75761F991E9887E24F3F5C6574574A.jpg" /></a><br /><br />This sitting area, just makes my heart sing! We've got an odd shaped area, off of the kitchen. I'm thinking, it was designed to be a Breakfast nook. But I just had no inspiration for the space. We've had a small table there. With some flowers on it. That's pretty much it! And every time I see it, I think, I need to do something in that space!<br /><br />Now that I see this picture, I'm so inspired! We have this gorgeous light fixture, that we bought long before we owned a home. And it's traveled around with us. It's perfect for this space! Now I just need to convince Jose to build us a window seat. I'm positive that I can figure out, how to sew some pillows. And I think I know where to find the perfect chairs!<br /><br />This is a project, that has been years in the making! I finally found some inspiration. Now, Jose and I, need to make some time. A space like this, would be perfect for breakfast eating, bird watching, and menu planning! I can't wait!! :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-5439775317165110092010-08-15T13:14:00.000-06:002012-04-23T03:39:27.384-06:00Diapees and Wipees<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrD-3M32kUdJ7B8i_4v3gOoU5du-c8ciRbcEKOPItPJ2Uq9uEBua-_eCHjdJ3xr0Jny0SMeiLdS9yjb-RjqdAsXJEP6b8wq5bjKo4t1cepz0l-0y0QkL0L8JVwoPKTxqVauYtsyriKMY/s1600/SorbetDiscoDot.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499084165470593874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrD-3M32kUdJ7B8i_4v3gOoU5du-c8ciRbcEKOPItPJ2Uq9uEBua-_eCHjdJ3xr0Jny0SMeiLdS9yjb-RjqdAsXJEP6b8wq5bjKo4t1cepz0l-0y0QkL0L8JVwoPKTxqVauYtsyriKMY/s320/SorbetDiscoDot.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Again, I turned my more experienced friends. And I heard about the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Diapees</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wipees</span>. It sounded like a great thing. So I came home and Googled. Love me some Google! And I found this <a href="http://royalbabyboutique.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=438_591&products_id=2754">cute one</a>. For $15. Not bad. I think this would be a great thing to throw in my purse when I run to the grocery store. Or maybe getting <a href="http://royalbabyboutique.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=438_591&products_id=2762">this one</a> for Jose to put in his case.

I was looking for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Babylegs</span>. And I got a little side tracked on <a href="http://royalbabyboutique.com/">this website</a>. I really like the look of this <a href="http://royalbabyboutique.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=438_206&products_id=612">baby wipe container</a>. I think it would add some fun to changing diapers. Which I know isn't the funnest thing in the world.<br /><br />But this is cute. It's also $30. I'm thinking that is pretty crazy! Being that it's just fabric over a plastic container. And a little trim. I'm hoping I can find something similar that's less expensive. Because the price is a bit crazy. :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-58861549445744531602010-07-30T20:58:00.001-06:002010-07-30T20:58:00.193-06:00Babylegs<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyofn4MxIyoxs8t-jeQI5QQvC-PL8x5uIh6XLrKD7_Bxw0nkAm2CSjb-tKofX1cFd1lgEayo3UoxgJUM7-7X2amMr18eobNpqDImjsetyAFVvN4rFiByBxNJuNHb98d87TsucB-THqtqs/s1600/Jelly-Bean-BabyLegs.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499079900586692882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyofn4MxIyoxs8t-jeQI5QQvC-PL8x5uIh6XLrKD7_Bxw0nkAm2CSjb-tKofX1cFd1lgEayo3UoxgJUM7-7X2amMr18eobNpqDImjsetyAFVvN4rFiByBxNJuNHb98d87TsucB-THqtqs/s320/Jelly-Bean-BabyLegs.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I had never heard about <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Babylegs</span> before.

Well, not really themes. But more of cute nursery looks. If you haven't figured it out, we really like bright colors. And lots of color.<br /><br />But I really want a white nursery. Something clean looking. Believe it or not, we don't have a single white room in our home. But we also wanted color. Something cheerful and bright. Something our daughter could grow with.<br /><br />Today I found <a href="http://gallery.projectnursery.com/projects/388-Sloan-s-Nursery">these pictures</a>! This just got all my creative juices flowing. And I really need to talk to <a href="http://sweetnightingalesing.blogspot.com/">La <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Chiquitita</span></a> now.

But I would want to paint them bright and fun colors. And then I would like to add some lullaby type pictures. Maybe painting some letters spelling out her name. And the dresser, I would like to buy a white one, like this one. But this add some color. Maybe colorful knobs or adding paint to the edges. Something like that.<br /><br />But I'm feeling so inspired. I have so many ideas. I just <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">don't</span> know how to put them together.

I try. My husband has patients with me. We were both raised in homes with delicious food. Both of our moms are amazing. Me? Not so much. But lately, I've been inspired by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">YouTube</span> videos</a>. Due to embedding things, I can't post the videos. But this one, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCix9SY7o4A">looks good</a>. 2 super, duper easy recipes. :)<br /><br />This <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osrKgci0FQI">Santa Fe chicken one</a>, also looks yummy. And being from the southwest, I know that's not how you make Santa Fe chicken. But it's quick, and so easy! Delicious too. So there you go, I'm becoming a bit more of a cook. Not just a warm up the food, let's go out to eat, or what kind of sandwich would you like kind of wife.<br /><br />I do believe Jose is enjoying that. He has picked up a few pounds since being home. I'm thinking that he's just really enjoying being out of the military. And my cooking really is improving. I guess, I should watch more <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube videos</a>. Somehow, I missed all the family cooking lessons growing up.<br /><br />And yes. I know these are all chicken recipes. But we've been trying to eat a little healthier around here. I know what you're thinking. Healthy? But this is definitely better than tacos <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">al</span> pastor, or <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">gorditas</span> every night. :)Jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07829249322841585047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293801397416272573.post-46528520208395442672010-04-22T08:21:00.002-06:002010-07-28T14:24:34.361-06:00Jelly Bean Day!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1HUuwgebNTiEzitPkWI8TYPp6CuK2Ysp9cjG2SNiDP8LdJRzijuTP0BhBbWPzBxwUEnhW2aQShE2LAkRKylAOQbELCYoVlEZNi4fky1jTcDMosSW9dpuorYTXWPPUXVuXuo3_NHE4to/s1600/jellybean.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 258px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499054933865192402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1HUuwgebNTiEzitPkWI8TYPp6CuK2Ysp9cjG2SNiDP8LdJRzijuTP0BhBbWPzBxwUEnhW2aQShE2LAkRKylAOQbELCYoVlEZNi4fky1jTcDMosSW9dpuorYTXWPPUXVuXuo3_NHE4to/s320/jellybean.png" /></a><br /><br />Happy Jelly Bean Day from our family to yours!

Can you say fun?? I told Jose, I think it would be perfect in our home office. I'm not sure, that he feels the same way. But it is so fun. I adore the style of this chair. The colors just add to the fun. To be honest, I'd love to find a chair, in this same shape. Even if it's just plain and simple.
