Happy 2012!

Happy 2012, to all of my fabulous followers!

I am so pleasantly surprised that you stuck around - probably missing my posts terribly

 ha.

Thrilled was I to see that no one left during my sabbatical.

Sadly, my last post was September 16th!

WOW! I missed posting fall and Christmas decor - oops 

but we have had a quite eventful 3 months around our house!

We were blessed with baby #2 on October 3rd and have been soaking up time with her!
and wrapping up some house projects - a few of which are featured below.

Here is a recap of what we've been doing...
I am so excited to be back and look forward to sharing all of my

decorating and remodeling throughout 2012 with each of you!

our precious baby girl was born!

finished hand painting/ stenciling the laundry room..
Hubby called it my "Sistine Chapel" haha

celebrated Thanksgiving with my family!

spent lots of time with my sweet mom!
I don't know what we would've done without all of her help...
quite an adjustment going from 1 to 2 kiddos!

baked and decorated lots of Christmas cookies!

spent a blessed Christmas with family celebrating Christ's birth

Hubby designed & built a coatrack area
(details and more pics coming soon!)

and we're absolutely loving being a family of 4!

check back soon to see my home goals for 2012!
It's going to be an EXCITING year around here!
