    California Fun with Babies!

    Part of blogging for me
    is so that we can not
    only share inspirational
    ideas but also so you can
    get to know us too :)


    If you don't already know
    I have two daughters,
    Kristin and Stephanie,who
    also are part of
    Katies Rose Cottage ~

    They both have babies and
    this was our first
    adventure on an airplane
    with them ~
    Their daddies got to go too
    so that was fun!


    Alot of our family lives
    on the central coast of
    California so that is one
    of our very favorite places and
    where we headed ~


    They were excited to have the
    babies visit the beach since
    it is one of all of our
    favorite places to be ~
    The weather was chilly but
    it was still a beautiful
    and sunny day!
    We went to Avila Beach which
    we love!


    Ellie thought it was
    just the best thing ever!
    The swings were great...
    The sand was great!

    Isaac pretty much didn't like
    it at all! We are definitely
    going to have to teach
    him that it is fun!
    Mommies arms were great!

    This is my mom and I
    with Ellie ~

    My son in law James
    took the following pictures ~
    It is awesome having
    a photographer along :)

    Ellie loved swinging!

    Isaac loved hiking!

    This is my most favorite picture of all .... My mom and dad
    with their great grandbabies!!
    What a beautiful and precious
    picture!! I adore it!

    It was fun and there
    is so much more family
    and pictures but
    this is just a glimpse
    of our time there ~

    Thank you for visiting
    with us!

    Dallas Home & Gift Market Gorgeousness!!

    Yesterday my girls and I

    went to the Dallas Home & Gift Show ~

    Oh my goodness to say that I LOVED

    the style of so many places is a total

    understatement !!! It was somewhat

    overwhelming ~

    Here are just a few pictures of some of the

    yummy stuff !!

    The pictures are with my Iphone so they aren't

    very good but I couldn't resist taking some ~

    There is no way to see it all

    in one day so I am ready

    to hit the road to go back as soon as I

    am done blogging :)

    Stephanie and Kristin ~ My babies !

    Dang they grow up quick!!

    Artful Blogging Dress Form

    I was so excited when I received the Winter issue of Artful Blogging and saw a picture of my dress form ~ It is in an article about Tiffany's "Show Me Your Form" blog party ~ I had to include my dress form in the party because my family truly does not get the whole dress form thing ~ in fact my girls who are 19 and 21 think she is pretty scary ~

    It was alot of fun and really fun to be in one of my very favorite magazines ~ in fact all of the Somerset Studio magazines are pretty much to die for gorgeous ! I would love to carry some of them on my website so I will have to see if I can do that ~
