Kate's Room



Loved how this lampshade turned out!

Refinished the desk, added ruffle on chair, made message board. Both those plants really aren't supposed to be there.


Painted the walls abalone by Benjamin Moore. They were green and blue with a chair rail. Huge improvement. This color was awesome, I might have to use it in my house somewhere.




Beneath these curtains are one tiny window on the left that was put there for no rhyme or reason. I love a huge fake window don't you?




This pillow in front was what she gave me for inspiration, I tore it apart and made a new one since I couldn't see black anywhere in this room!

Lots has been on my mind lately. Don't judge me for talking backwards and Pindale like, it's my blog.

They are...



Being a boss} Really I don't love it, but I think it has taught me so much. I want to take advantage of it more, and really try to make Blossom a place where girls want to work. Easier said than done apparently.



Being a mother} So no still not pregnant, but I am ready to just be thankful for the adorable girls that I have, and quit spending time worrying about the ones that I don't. Apparently I'm not the boss here either.



Being a wife} Is something to not be taken lightly. You have to be tough, giving, supportive, non moody, hot...Jeesh loouesh. I love it.



And I really can only do the best that I possibly can. End of story. Pheew. Here is an awesome quote anyways.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, or deepest feat is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinkingso that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, its in everyone. And we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permissiion to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Marianne Williamson.

Suns Game. Sat. Dec. 20th.

Our new favorite thing, well mine anyways is watching the Suns! I gave Mark tickets for Christmas, and we all went! Had good seats, they killed whoever they played, and the girls got to be on tv during the post game. We will be sure to keep that Tivo. Had a blast, then went and ate at Old Chicago!

First time on a donkey, Christmas nativity in the barn.








More old pics that I love. This is in 2001. I really miss our house on Bellview, and I can't evev imagine what life was like without our Lily. It's amazing that I had a Klaira and I said what did I do with all of my spare time? Then after Lily I said what did I used to do in all of my spare time? Then we opened Blossom, and Now I am saying, what did I used to do in my spare time.






Time. What a gift. My favorite part of Christmas is spending time with the family. Enjoy the season you are in. Sometimes easier said than done, but good words to live by.
