I don't know if this all started with Missoni hit Target, but I am loving zig-zag rugs right now.  I would like to "update" Avery's room and maybe she needs a zig zag rug?  I decorated her room with soft pink, white etc and I will say as her personality develops she is more Magenta than Soft Pink!  I want to paint and "grow up" a bit. Here are a few zig zag rugs I have my eye on! Dash and Albert... they make my FAVORITE rugs! Rug Studio Pinterest Garnet Hill (LOVE this orange/pink number) Same rug... better view! Trina Turk I am thinking gray walls.... but not ready to commit to anything just yet.  Just getting my creative juices flowing.  Until next time....xoxo

Okay, I know.  It has been a zillion years since I last posted.  All I can say is that it has been crazy-town here with work, the holidays, Avery's first birthday, etc!  I promise to get back in the swing of things ASAP and share some great posts. In the meantime, I thought I would share a bit of Avery's birthday.  I promised myself I would not make myself insane with too many DIY ideas.  But,  I had to have at least one crafty project or it just would not be me! :)  So, I decided to make cupcake toppers.    I made simple cupcakes ... a recipe from my Aunt Betty.... Betty Crocker that is.  I had perused etsy for cute ideas but whenever I saw cute topper options, I knew I could make em'.  So, I bought myself three different decorative punches.   One round one (1.5 inch) which I used to punch out Avery's face from a photo I picked and copied.  The second punch was a 2 inch flower which I used to punch decorative and colorfu...

So, this has been a crazy few weeks.  I am definitely realizing that being a full time working mom is hard... very hard!  When you are trying to get it all done... persistance is key! :)  It is my blogging persistence that will not allow me to post only twice this week! :) So, Avery too is persistent.  I think this is a trait she gets from her mom!  She has been trying so hard to roll over for a while now, but has not been able to master it... until now! Have a challenge in your own life... keep at it!  Persist! Next week- I will try again.  Try to find some time to create creative blog posts.  Stay tuned to see if it happens.  Until next time...xoxo
