Oh, and a quick kitchen update: First of all, thank you sooooooooooooo much for your help! After looking at the pictures more I realized that I just didn’t love the blue gray color. Therefore, after MUCH debating and searching, I decided to repaint the gray. We picked a more taupey gray and it looks great with the turquoise. I love it now, and I will try to show pictures tomorrow of the change. (I need to get the laundry out of my kitchen first, ha!)

Have a super Thursday :)

I am so happy that Fall is coming too. I can't wait for the leaves to change, to go apple picking (then bake to my heart's content), switch over my wardrobe to to warm sweaters, and to put my AC away until June.

I can't wait to see a new picture of your kitchen!

A Conversation about Babies

(Picture from here .) I think everyone I know has just had a baby, is going to have a baby, or wants to have a baby! Is there something wrong with me? I want children, with my whole heart. I really look forward to being a mom someday and more and more I hope to be able to stay home with my children. The thing is, I can wait right now. I don’t have baby fever. I feel too young. I’m only 25 – how could I possibly know how to care for a child yet; I can barely take care of my husband, dog, and me. I guess what I’m wondering is should that itch be there? Should I be craving to be a mother? Does this mean my maternal instincts are off? I just feel like an older (and hopefully more mature and less selfish) version of me would make a better mother. Plus, the husband isn’t even out of law school yet! I think about my future children: their looks, personality. In my dreams I love being pregnant (I hope that is true, but the labor part still terrifies me). I know I’ll love sewing l...

Conversation #19: A blast from the past – Monday Movie Review

Ever since the hubby and I ended our blockbuster subscription, we have really not watched too many movies. Honestly, he has been so busy that we just haven’t had the time. However, my amazing in-laws have been entertaining me during this bar exam review time, and we went to see the Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Saturday. (Picture from here .) I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was exciting and thrilling, and in my opinion, I’m not sure I would take a really young child to it (maybe 10 and older…) It kept my attention, and I don’t think that it drug on too long either. Sometimes I think these epic type movies go on and on and on, but this ended at a nice time, and it had the most adorable bulldog in the cast, too! I definitely recommend it! (Picture from here .) We also recently watched The Paper Chase . I guess this movie itself is kind of blast from the past – 1973 to be exact. Our neighbor actually dropped it in our mailbox as ...

Conversation #123: Open to Interpretation

First, I apologize for two posts today. The other one was supposed to post yesterday. I wrote it during lunch, but it didn't post properly. Oh well. So I started reading Kayla's blog during her last wardrobe challenge, and I loved it. I also loved when she and Amy and Erica started doing this series called Open to Interpretation. I have no idea why, but I never thought of taking an outfit I saw in a catalog or a magazine and then recreating it or something like it with what I already own. This has really helped me not only stretch my closet but also push me to try some new fashiony things (without going out to spend a ton of money). Here is the photo inspiration (I just copied it from Kayla's blog): And here is my interpretation: Outfit breakdown: Sweater - Old Navy, $8 Striped Shirt - LOFT (from the event last week), $20 Pink pants - JCPenney, Juniors section (don't tell Stacey and Clinton), $10 Leather Oxfords - J.Jill, $30 Mine is...
