Hello Fall

Fall has become my favorite season.  I love the colors, football, and everything pumpkin.  I love wearing cozy sweaters and boots and curling up on the couch under a blanket with a good book or movie (although there aren't many opportunities to do this since having children).  I especially love when it's cool enough for the boots and sweater but still sunny.  I love taking a walk and hearing the crunch of leaves underfoot.

I put up my fall decorations a few weeks ago. I can't do a whole lot, though, because I really only have my fireplace mantel and the front porch. We don't have a coffee table (we got rid of one that was too big and didn't go with anything else and haven't replaced it yet) or any end/side/occasional tables.

 


 

After having weeks and weeks of beautiful, sunny weather we finally got some rain today and it was finally cool enough to don said sweater and boots.  And after being out of town the last two weekends, I'm very much looking forward to a very relaxing fall Saturday tomorrow.  I plan to bake pumpkin cream cheese muffins and hang out in my pjs by the fire with a cup of pumpkin flavored coffee (if I don't get around to buying pumpkin spice coffee creamer by tomorrow I'm going to try just using half and half and pumpkin pie spice-we'll see), with my new Spiced Pumpkin Pie candle burning.  Yay for fall.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
