It's My Anniversary

Stroll down and turn the music off at the bottom of the page and listen to Tony, Toni, Tone

Sorry for the bad photo, but I had to scan them into the computer. It's been 5 wonderful years being married to the man of my dreams. Technically we have been together a total of 13 years, but only married 5 years. I know that's a long time to date, but when you are high school sweethearts I guess that's not long at all.
Thank you for being sure a wonderful husband who is my bod guard when it my feeling,

Thank you for being such a wonderful dad to our two precious babies,

Thank you being my tissue when the tears seem to fall down my face,

Thank you for being my prayer partner with my struggles in life,

Thank you for all the inspiration you share when it comes to helping me become closer to God,

Thank you for for being my best friend, my husband, and my everything.

Happy Anniversary Babe!

Look Who's on Martha Today



Here's what's happening on The Martha Stewart Show today. How I wish I could be there with all of my blogger friends.
"It's the 50th anniversary of classic American fashion house Lilly Pulitzer, and everyone -- including Martha -- is wearing Lilly! First, Lilly Pulitzer design director Janie Schoenborn is here for a fabulous fashion show, featuring some of her favorite pieces from the Spring 2009 collection. Then, California crafter Cathy Callahan shows you how to make charming straw flowers inspired by vintage crafts of the 1960s, the decade in which Lilly's brightly colored prints first rose to fame. Plus, Meredith Waga-Perez of Manhattan floral and event design studio Belle Fleur makes a vibrant pink-and-green flower arrangement that's perfect for Lilly-lovers everywhere.
More from the show:

Man I wished I could have recorder the show with my DVR, but cableone does not get that channel anymore in my area. Maybe I can convince the DH to get me another system that carries Martha. What do you think.

What's your style

67% Classic
33% Nantucket Style





Classic
What's old is new again! The beauty of Classic style is how well it takes all of the beautiful forms, colors and textures of the past and reinvents them in a way that feels both fresh and inspired.

The style itself is a mix of European influences and French, English and Italian antiques and replicas are often used together. Furniture is well proportioned and comfortable and the rooms give off an air of sophistication and grace. Oil paintings depicting still-life or nature scenes and emphasizing symmetry of pairs helps maintain the traditional nature of the room. Windows are often covered with opulent fabric shades and/or drapery.

Traditional rooms give off an air of history that seems to say "I was here long before you, and will remain long after you've gone." And yet, even with this level of sophistication, the rooms are soft and inviting.



Nantucket Style
Oh how you love the beach! Who doesn't, right? And so your dream home is either perched in your favorite beach town, or you've brought that favorite beach town into your house.

Your art and accessories speak directly to the activities that are found at the beach. Pieces of driftwood you found here, pictures or paintings of the amazing views there. Things that remind you of the coast - surf boards or fishing boats - are found throughout the house. The feeling of the seaside is both abstract and literal in the design of your space. The fabrics are natural, cottons and linens and are light in color and touch. Much of the furniture is wood or wood framed (the lighter the better, think driftwood!) and wicker, when done right, is a must.

And since your true inspiration is the sea, the colors and textures in your home are the same that you would find at your favorite beach: white, light beiges and grays of the sand and driftwood, a variety of blues for the ocean and sky, and greens and vibrant blues of the sea glass� but the key is white! Your space should feel light and airy and give off the mood one has when at the beach: laid back!

Your furniture is comfortable and the layout is cozy. The more it reminds you of actually sitting on the warm sand, the better! And what do you do at the beach? Hang out with family and friends - and your home is just an extension of this play place. And though the space is filled with large white furniture, it somehow manages to feel both durable and casual


Go over to Sproost and see what your style is.

Snowy Day in Alabama!

Well we woke up to snow on Alabama! Everyone's a little excited because this is not something that we expect to see. It's March and everyone rememebers the Blizzard of 1993. Sorry for the children site. I guess being a teacher, I am use to having things on their level. With that being said everyone in Alabama never really believes that weather men when they tell us about the snow because they did not expect it to be that bad like it was.
On another not since we couldn't get out and go to church today I decided to check my e-mail and came across this. I guess the little guy need some clothes for the spring. Let me see what should I order. After I browse I think I will look at the wonderful website this might be my next experiment.
