My little man...

Thomas is growing far too quickly!!  He had his four month check-up yesterday at the doctors.  He is 16 lbs and 25.5" putting him in the 75th percentile.  I always new new he was above average.  :)  So far he's reacted well to the immunization shots.  He slept twelve hours last night!!  I woke up in a panic this morning thinking something was wrong.  I was paranoid but also annoyed that I was 'that over-reacting mom' who always thinks the worst.  I argued with myself internally until I went and checked on Thomas in his crib.  He was sleeping peacefully.  Very sweet!!

These photos were taken around Easter weekend.  I have more recent from my iphone but they won't upload.  I have just spent the last 45 minutes trying to figure it out.  I swear I almost chucked the computer across the room.  Thomas will be waking up any minute now and I haven't gotten anything done.  Very frustrating!!!  

Be back tomorrow.  Hopefully with a video of him.  

Have a great day! 

Kelly Green Dining

Two days in a row! Woo Hoo!!!

While reading Isabella & Max I spotted a room by Katie Rosenfeld that sparked an interest.  Her portfolio is full of bright beautiful rooms.  Take a look at this stunning kelly green dining room.  A very talented designer.  I love how fresh the green is against the white paneling, modern chairs and traditional table.

Thomas has his four month check-up and shots at the doctors office today.  Last time they made him sick to his stomach for three days.  I really hope it won't happen again.  I also hope it doesn't effect his sleep.  He slept through the night last night and I would love it to happen again, and again and again!  :)  

Wish us luck!  

Have a great day!!!

Laundry Day!

I was a bit lazy on Sunday and left the laundry for today.  I don't mind doing laundry but I really hate doing it in our laundry room because it's down in our unfinished basement.  I dream of having cupboards and a large folding table/counter, tiled floor, bead-board walls in a warm white and blue green painted ceiling.  Ah... it sounds so lovely!

For now, lets enjoy this laundry/mudroom by Hardrock Construction.

Thomas is sleeping soundly in his crib.  This is the first nap of three for the day.   Now that we have a nap schedule I think it will be easier to post on a regular basis.  Yeah!!!

Happy Monday!

Royal Wedding... Ah... What a day!

Lucky for me, Thomas slept right up until 4:15am yesterday morning.  We had a quick bottle, back to bed for him and downstairs to watch the Royal wedding for me.  I'm so glad Megan and I woke up early to watch the festivities.  It was a true fairy tale and very romantic.  I was in awe the entire morning.  Kate looked breathtakingly regal and William was beyond handsome in his uniform. It will be a day I will always remember.

Today I'm hosting afternoon tea for me and two friends.  I will try and take a photo. Have a great one folks!

Rob Lowe's Santa Barbara House

Hello!  It's been a while.  Thomas, Ryan and I have been enjoying a lot of family time.  I've been keeping busy with two Mommy and baby classes, hanging out with other moms, running the household and just daily life.  Life is great!  I honestly didn't know I would love being home with Thomas as much as I do.  The idea of going back to work Jan '12 is depressing.  I try not to think about negatives and only think positively now.  How could I not?!  I have a loving family, the world's best husband, an adorable little baby boy, wonderful friends.  :)  I'm a happy camper.  

Tonight our friend Megan is sleeping over.  We plan on waking at 4am to watch the Royal wedding.  I'm giddy with excitement!!  Will recap later tomorrow on our scones, tea and wedding party for two.  Right now, I need to share photos of Rob Lowe's house which was featured on Oprah today.  It has also been featured in Architectural Digest.  It's stunning!!  Rob, his wife worked with interior designer David Phoenix.  It's absolutely stunning.  Check it out for yourself.

Easter Dinner Table Setting

This year I'm Ryan and I are hosting Easter dinner for my family.  It's our first holiday event in the new house and with Thomas.  I'm very excited!!  Mostly to have my family here for the weekend and partly for the chance to use my (I know I should say our but let's be honest I'm more interested in it) china set.  I've purchased a new table cloth which is turquoise and gold and have been researching ideas for table settings and centre peices.  Here are a few beautiful tables to start the juices flowing.  

p.s. Thanks for checking in!  I will eventually get back into the swing of things.  Until then I may have more posts on Thomas than interiors.  :)  xo

I'm still here... just taking my time getting back into the blog world.  I'm actually feeling like I've lost my interior design blog mojo.  It's not just in the blog world.  My favourite home decor magazines lie unread each month.  Who knows... I still have plans for the house but everything seems to be on hold right now.  Maybe I just need to dive in and see how it goes.  

Debating on starting a mommy blog as my life is all about Thomas right now.  We'll see...
