Oh my goodness it's time to blog!

Hello again it's me! I haven't vanished off the Earth, I've just been lazy. Anyway, back to the blogging. Since my last post, I haven't done much redecorating. Just picked out a few paint swatches and lamp shades to replace the ones Holly (wore) broke. This week Holly and I are going to visit my parents aka. Nana and Papa for some good old fashioned spoiling! I can hardly wait. I will use this time to have my mom help me pick out some stuff for the house.

The real reason I decided to blog this morning, however, is a rather funny and GROSS story. I was talking to my parents on the phone this morning and Holly was watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse...one of her favorites. She was pretty focused so I used the opportunity to make the bed and talk with the rents'. I came out a few minutes later and Holly came running up to me with a rather concerned look. She was whining and saying "poopie mama poopie." I, thinking only the best of my little girl, told my dad that we were working on potty training and that she must have to go poopie. "Working on potty training" means that we have purchased a potty seat and Nathan and I take turns congratulating one another when we go potty on the potty like a big boy or girl. Its funny the things we do for our kids. Anyway, I believe Holly has actually gone on the potty once or twice. I take Holly into the bathroom and suddenly I see brown down her leg, on her feet and her hands. She is crying at this point and rubbing her poopie covered hands together in horror. The little stinker, no pun intended, had taken her diapie off to go poopie all over my floor. UGHHHH. So I made a quick goodbye with my dad and threw her in the tub. She's lucky she is cute!!!

Here we go!

OK so this is going to be my first post....so please be gentle. :) Lately I have been looking around our house and deciding that I have no style whatsoever...My house is just so boring. Maybe it's because we just moved in or because we have a toddler but our house resembles more of a college dorm than a home of soon to be 30 somethings with a child. This is something that I have been fighting with as long as I can remember. I go to other peoples houses and they have such cute taste...their houses always look so put together. The paint on the walls, the cute little items placed on their coffee tables. WHERE AM I GOING WRONG. Even Nathan has noticed my lack of "decorating ability." One day we were in Target and I told him that I wanted to get something cute for the house. I picked up a vase of flowers and commented that "maybe this would be cute!" He just gave me this look like I was from Mars. When we were moving into our last house he put a lot of the stuff away becasue I just don't know where it should go. So if anybody has some style that they would like to share with me I would greatly appreciate it!
