The Lord Has Given and The Lord Has Taken Away

My very dear friend Rachel whom I've shared a few fun moments with you has recently suffered a great loss.  She lost her husband and partner in life, Alex.  Take just a moment to pray for peace and healing for her and her 3 year old son Griffin and pray for Alex's soul.  They are a deserving family who is loved dearly.

Late Halloween Update

So...a little late, but here are few pics from Halloween.  Remember the Mermaid costume dilema post?  Read it here.  Here she is!  My precious baby was so excited to wear this costume.  Not sure why I chose a red top underneath.  Hmm...didn't think that one through very well.  I love that face!

And here we are the weekend before at the Houston Zoo Boo with our friends Layla and Addison.  Check out my daughter's cute Halloween t-shirt from BabySister Designs. 

Frugal Friday on Thursday: Beautiful Bulletin for Baubles

One day early for your viewing pleasure.  I spied this gorgeous cheap and creative way to display baubles and trinkets from Peacock Feathers.   Love this idea for little girls and teens.  The designer took an Ikea bulletin board and wrapped it in muslin; cheap, chic and easy. 

Posh Patterned Rugs that are Toddler Tough

I just purchased this rug below through overstock.com for my kitchen breakfast area.  It's a Ballard Designs outdoor rug that I got for a steal with a $200 savings including $1 shipping!  Um hello...Ballard Designs charges an extra surcharge to ship this oversized item.  Overstock price with shipping and no taxes $75.99!

Everyone knows outdoor rugs are great for the outdoors, but I love a good outdoor rug for two main INDOOR purposes; the breakfast or kitchen cooking areas and children's play spaces. These posh polypropylene piles can take a serious toddler and baby beating. I've scrubbed spaghetti sauce out of these rugs and whoa la, good as new!


Right now Overstock has some serious cash saving deals if you've been pondering one for your home. Here are a few more Ballard Design favorites on super sale.   But go check it out for yourself, there are just too many to list.
