Hi All,
Hope you had a lovely weekend. We had one super productive day and then an enjoyable lazy day at home. Best of both worlds. 🙂
On Saturday I headed out with Jon to get some portfolio pictures of a family room I worked on. It’s been finished for a while, but I hadn’t gotten around to taking official pictures yet. Luckily I emailed my client last week and asked to come over to snap some photos, because they are moving and by the end of this week my family room will be broken down and on it’s way to N.J.
My favorite mirror that arrived broken 3 times and eventually I just had to have glass cut at a local shop and my baby bump!
When we wrapped up the photo shoot we headed out with Hudson to enjoy the nice weather we were having. Off to the park we went where my men decided to play around with their battleship in the pond.
We then went to an empty field and built a new kite we got:
Take off:
After all of that fun we headed out for dinner and decided to go a classic here on Long Island, All American Burger!
What’s dinner without a movie so, on the way home we stopped at Redbox and picked out a movie. His pick? Free Birds.
We even had enough time in the day to start cutting Moo’s hair! Hudson loved helping us give him a bath last week and this week he was due for a crazy shave down. Most of the men in Hudson’s life have some sort of facial hair so, it was super funny to see him take Moo’s hair and try and give himself a beard.
Whew! What a packed day!
On Sunday it’s no wonder that we just hung out at home and did a little napping:
Ok so, we did a lot of napping and a bit of movie watching. Then my sister and her boyfriend came over with chili to make us dinner! My parents and other sister came over as well and it was a big family affair. Hudson was super excited.
Dessert was amazing! My sister made some of sort of brown sugar chocolate chip nutella stuffed cookie and they were just what this pregnant lady desired.
The rest of the evening was spent coloring by the fire:
Plus Aunt Ximena got a lot of love! Hudson is currently obsessed with saying that things are his. Every day we hear him say, MINE at least a handful of times. So, when my sister’s boyfriend decided to give her a smooch Hudson ran over to stake his claim and shower her with kisses as well. We were all dying.
Aunt Ximena also got the best goodbye of the evening. For weeks now Jon and I have been trying to get Hudson to say, ” I love you”, but he just hasn’t been feeling it. That evening as his Auntie was leaving she said, “Love you” to him and Hudson blurted out, “Love you too.” Oh so sweet!
Now I just need to hear it directed at me!
Happy Monday, All.
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
I would just like to point out that I’m referred to in this as the “other sister.” That’s all.
My other beautiful, sweet and smart sister. 🙂

It was a handmade find from Serena and Lily. Doesn’t look like they have any more in stock. I got it 2 years ago.
