A visit from the Magic Fairy aka: Brooke

Brooke spent the week with us and all our Mayhem.  It was so fun to have her here and the kids loved it!  Even though Jacob kept asking her where her "friends" were, aka: her kids.  And he kept callling her Aunt Jaime and the nice mommy.

 Auntie Brooke pampered this little guy, and he loved it.



(cant get this one to go the right way, sorry)
She helped me a ton with decorating my house.  I have a lot of ideas and tons of things I like so it's hard for me to make a decision.  Brooke helped me narrow it down and I actually have things hanging on my walls.  (it's only been 9 months since we moved in), I even have curtain fabric (gasp.)



 We layed out the frames and accessories on the floor until we had it just right.  It took a while as you can imagine.

 I love the yellow and blue keys we found at non other than Hobby Lobby.  They match the curtain fabric beutifully.

Now keep in mind that the picture of the birds is not staying that way.  I have a date with a spray paint can and possibly my silhouette.  Stay tuned for more on that.  I could not have done any of this without Brooke!  I even have a color scheme for my "Bow Room".  More to come on the progress in that room as well.

We spent hours (as you can imagine) shopping for fabric, frames, accessories and then hanging everything.  With a 2 month old and 3 year old in tow. Andy came home and I asked him "so what do you think?"

Andy: "what the *** is that?"

Me: "what are you talking about, you don't like it?"

Andy: "the pictures ard fine but what is that ugly spoon doing hanging on the wall?"

Me: "you mean the cute yellow key that matches the decor perfectly!"

Andy: "it's a key?"

Me: "yes, do you like the blue one?"

Andy: "There's another one!" "They looks like a spoons, why are they on the wall?"

Me: "for decoration"

Andy: "Why?"

Me: "for decoration"

Andy: "Why do we need decoration?" "Did you pay money for that?"

Me: "I give up."

Here is the inspiration board for the Family Room.
