Pretty Happy Funny Real

~PRETTY~

I treated myself to some tulips on Monday because February. Tulips are my favorite flower. They make me think of spring. I think I may invest in fresh flowers every week until spring hits. They really lift my mood.

It is sunny today! I am going to park myself on that couch in the corner of our schoolroom and soak it in. So Happy! YAY sun!

~FUNNY~

There are four children in that full size bed. The little boys are displaced because their big brother who is also displaced is in their bed while his room is torn apart. Which brings me to real...

Our oldest son's room is in the basement. It has always been damp and cold. He would wake up in the mornings with headaches and sinus congestion and just not feeling well. We had him move upstairs for a couple of weeks and the symptoms went away. This happened a couple of times.

We knew we were going to have to rework this room so Joe has never fully unpacked from when we moved in. We were finally able to get a contractor in to take a look and sure enough the walls weren't insulated. The room also had a tile ceiling so the drafty air was moving through there quite a bit. We went down to bare bones and started from scratch. He will also have a closest!! All of the furniture and such is sitting in our basement, which is also the family room/playroom. So we are in a bit of a mess. This project should be done in the next week or so. YAY!!!!

Hi Ann Marie!!! I have been slacking on the blogging lately. I am resolving to do better. I was looking through my blog last week and was so glad I had recorded so much through the years. I want to keep it up. TULIPS! YES! I would LOVE to go to a tulip festival. Can you imagine Holland? Anyway it was good ago see your name!! How are you doing??

Tulips are absolute favorite. Greg always knows to get me tulips, never, ever roses. I grew up in upstate NY and tulips meant spring. The big park in Albany has a HUGE tulip fest every year so I guess they also remind me of home now that I'm in Florida. The lowly carnation is my second favorite. Such an underrated flower. We keep them around the house in the winter and they takes weeks to die. So, anyway, what else can I possibly say about flowers? Have I bored you to tears yet? I'm just getting caught up on blogs and was happy to see a few updates from you.

Thank you Laura! I love that couch. We got it online from Home Decorators Collection. It was very reasonable and we were pleasantly surprised. It is a slipcover loveseat and it washes really well. I am going to get a chair in the same line.

Tulips are my favorite! So simply & pretty. I always ask my husband for tulips instead of roses for Valentine's Day.

Love that sunny spot! And I also love your couch in that room. We are shopping for new living room furniture so couches are kind of on my radar. :)
