What Is On My Phone

What have I been snapping pics of these past couple of weeks?  Well.....

 Miss A has is such a little fish.  We are at the pool all the time and she just swims all over the place. 

 You never know when you will find the inspiration for a birthday party....

My mom bought this massive armoire from Wisteria, yet it was too big for where she was wanting to put it.  So, I rearranged some things and it is now in our study.  I wish I could decorate my entire house with Wisteria furniture. 

My next furniture refinishing project will be to repaint the piece of furniture that our tv sits on in the game room.  Normally, I go for white, but this time I think I am going to paint it this beautiful teal / turquoise - Galapagos Turquoise.

Isn't this runner great? I saw it on Designer Bags and Diaper Bags blog and I have been obsessed with getting a huge rug like this for our living room.  If you have seen something like this, send me a link!

I had an Erin Condren planner last year and while it goes until the end of the year, I was ready for something new.  And smaller.  And cheaper.  And smaller.  I just ordered this ikat planner from May Books and I am excited to start using it.  I really wish that I had known about this company when Baby N was born - I would have loved the baby diary feature. 

I am about to do a post on what we do to pass the time when it is 115 degrees outside.... one of the things is mall walking with Kate and Baby L. And if you've ever been to North Park in Dallas, you know that no kid can walk by the turtles and ducks and not slide down this huge planter.

Baby N is also a huge fan of the water. 



 Sweet sisters at the pool.

Miss A loves to play with the camera on my phone and it is always funny to see what all she has taken pictures of.  

While working on this post, I was watching the Rogers/Dalhausser beach volleyball match.  That young girl is Rogers' daughter, but what I am more interested in is what is going on behind her.  See that bottle of wine and plastic cup?  I guess the Olympics is BYOB.  Awesome. 

What Is on My Phone

A couple weeks ago we tried out this new burger joint - Goodfriend. They have some great burgers, but what I really loved was that they have wine on tap. And, they bring you a generous sized sample to test out the different wines.

I spotted this princess wand over the holidays and decided I needed to recreate it for Miss A. Have not done so yet, but it is on the list.

I saw this frosting recipe on Pinterest and thought it looked good. I pin stuff all the time, but hardly ever go back and look at my boards, so if I really like an idea or recipe, I just take a screen shoot.

This is a really sweet book to read to your kids. If you don't have it, go get it.

I went to the Smocked Auctions warehouse sale a couple weeks ago and it was a mad house, but I managed to get a couple cute dresses for the girls. The girls will be matching in their pink poodle and cheerleader dresses.

An artist friend is working on a custom piece for A and N. Here is a sample sketch that she sent me - love it!

I have been collecting charms for years and years, yet I cannot remember the last time I wore my charm bracelet. I think I am going to add it to the arm party mix.

My BIL introduced me to this wine last weekend. It has a screw top and is about $10 for 1.5L.... plus, it is really good.

I made a double recipe of taco soup this afternoon and here is the aftermath. It is like a can cemetary.

The girls sent Valentine cards to our family.... aren't they cute?

Here is another installment of What Is On My Phone.....

Do you all watch Parenthood? If not, then you should. Anyway, last week they had a beautiful version of It Is Well with My Soul and I tweeted about the song, asking if anyone know who sang it. Jenn came to my rescue!

We were at storytime and Miss A volunteered to go up and touch an African Hissing Cockroach. Brave girl!

36 weeks - 10/2/11.

I think this lipgloss looks like a shade I would like - Loreal Le Gloss Peach Fuzz.

Do you ever take pictures of things on TV? I liked this dining room buffett setup.

This Old Navy top is added to my list of shirts I want to get after baby.

I think these fabrics would make a cute spring table runner.

Rice Krispie Treats made with Captain Crunch. Yum!

I was at a conference a couple of weeks ago and Amy Grant performed. She took a couple requests from the crowd and I was crossing my fingers that she would start singling 'Grown Up Christmas List' or 'Mary, Did You Know.' No luck.

What's On My Phone

Here is another installment of "What Is On My Phone...."

The bluebonnets are beautiful this time of year. This field is not far from out house - we took Miss A up there a couple weeks ago for pictures.

She got this car for Christmas and LOVES it. "Momma, chase me!"

Spring has sprung.

I stole this recipe from Kate (Elefantitas Alegres) and it is wonderful. I served it over whole wheat pasta.... makes me hungry just looking at this picture.

I think this plate needs to be added to my plate wall.

The other day Miss A came up to me and said "Steve needs to eat on a plate. I be right back." And so, she came back with a plate of food for Steve.

My friend has a booth (Gypsy Soul Interiors) at an antique store here in town. I love everything she sells, so much so that I bought a new dresser for Miss A's new room AND I am going to replicate these huge canvases for our living room.

My mini me.

What is on my phone? #2

Miss A is napping. The Mr. has gone to get the oil changed and I am sitting here, watching Master Class on OWN and working my blog. As soon as the girl wakes up, we are probably going to go feed the ducks, then come home for some corn chowder and mexican corn muffins. Yum.



I know you are all dying to know what I have been taking pictures of lately. Well, here you go..... What is on my phone, volume 2.

A couple of weeks ago we had some ice and snow and we stuck inside for a couple of days. You start to get creative when coming up with ideas to pass the time... therefore, making a slide out of a mattress is tons of fun.

I LOVE this paper. I think I am going to order a couple pieces and either frame it or put it in the back of some bookshelves.

This is a random decor picture I saved from some blog. I just love everything about this entire setup.

Obviously someone forgot to turn off the water. This was in the middle of our arctic blast.

Last weekend I took Jake to the vet. Looks like crazy dog needed a little pharmaceutical help in calming down.

Heart sugar cookies. Have you ever decorated cookies with a toddler? You should try it someday - it is an experience. :)

A snow covered tree in our front yard.

Want to go see KK?

New shoes for the girl. Apparently we've been making her wear shoes 2 sizes too small. Oops.

Lazy Steve.

At the Fair Park Children's Aquarium, trying to pet a stingray.

The Texas Star, taken outside the stingray tank at the aquarium.

Many of these pictures were taken using Instagram. Want to follow my Instagram feed? My name is MrsPreppy.... but, you could have probably guessed that.
