Blogger Vacation Time

>> Wednesday, August 25, 2010

Hey there guys! Have you missed me? I've been MIA for a little bit. The summer has finally hit the Bay Area and instead of rejoicing, I've been sweltering in the heat. And to add to it, even though I'm officially in the 2nd trimester...I have yet to experience a break from the morning sickness...bleh.

So, I've decided to take the matter into my own hands. I'm going to take a little blogger vacation...yep, it's break time. No posting, no research and not even any thinking about the blog for a couple of weeks. Sorry to leave you guys hanging for a bit! Hopefully you'll get out there and enjoy the last bit of summer we have left before Labor Day!

See you in a bit!

xoxoxo,

I'm loving these Moroccan/Trellis style rugs lately....And they are EVERYWHERE! They come in so many colors, but the yellow shade is really a fun way to brighten up the room!

Although sometimes Overstock just can't be beat, this price isn't too bad ;)

Thanks everyone for all of the great comments and support :D I had my first nausea free day this weekend!!! But of course, today I woke up feeling nauseous again. Soon, soon, soon...it will be a distant memory of the past! Counting the days...

As for those of you who want nursery talk, don't worry, I'll be posting about the nursery for sure. I think plans for the nursery will hit full swing once we find out if the little bee is a he or she - did that rhyme? ;)

Baby Time

>> Friday, August 13, 2010

Happy Friday everyone! I have some fun news to share with you all :)

The Mr and I are expecting a little copy kitten! I'm due Feb. 21st so I'm about 12 weeks along now :) Let me just tell you, the first trimester has been a little rough going. Posting hasn't been quite as regular as it used to be the last couple of months, but hopefully as I enter the 2nd trimester the morning sickness monster will give up the fight! And my poor room design clients, they've been so patient with me. Thank you guys for putting up with my less than speedy turn around lately...You've been awesome!
