Inspiration (found on Pinterest)I want to make all of these things when I have a cute little place :)  This headboard ROCKS. Lisa, will you show this to mark and ask if he could make it for me?? It's just two by fours and some sort of plastic over it...and christmas lights :) I LOVE IT! This picture sucks, but it is a tree branch painted white, and fabric letters hanging from hemp. I really want to make this with Porter's name on it. This rug is TO DIE FOR. I found a tutorial and I plan on...

Porter spent some time naked in the sun today :) It was sooo nice outside!He loved it. He absolutely LOVES staring out the window, and then he slept so well.We pulled the shade down after a while so he wouldn't get burnt, but it was still nice and toasty in the window seat.Except he peed a lot, haha. Once when he was on his back (it looked like a little fountain), and even though I had the camera pointed at him I was laughing too hard to take a picture, dang it. It would have been an awesome...

Spent this afternoon looking at a couple duplexes down in Denver. One got rented by the person before me, lame. The next one I liked, so I applied for it. Cross your fingers that I get it! If I do, I will get to move in later May or early July. If I get it I'll talk more about it. I don't want to jinx it. I'm already SO SICK of looking at places and checking padmapper.com for new listings on Craigslist. It's consuming me. Ahhh. Speaking of May...my birthday is coming up SO SOON. I can't believe...

I received this awesome 15 inch Elmo from Huggable Teddy Bears.He's SO CUTE :) Really soft and furry!His huge eyes are sweeeeet. The company was started by a man named Robert Taylor, who's mom enrolled him in Big Brothers Big Sisters to find him a role model- and a man named Brian Lewis who was enrolled as a big brother at the time. They got paired together, and ended up created this company together to bring smiles to children's faces :) They have tons and tons of different teddy bears and gift baskets. You can customize your teddy's...

I had a nice break, thanks :) Life has been crazy and not that great, and I find that when I'm stressed out and not happy I would rather just not blog...because I really had nothing positive to blog about to be honest. BUT I kept taking pics, so this post is loaded with them.  I don't want to get too far into it, but this is what i've been busy doing:Looking for an apartment. In Denver. I'm moving out. Things aren't working out here at home, and it's better for Porter to have two happy parents who are apart rather...

Another Scavenger Hunt Sunday! Time:I know I know, this is really cliche, BUT- this clock is in Porter's nursery- where I spend hours upon hours feeding him and pumping. I stare at this clock when i'm pumping, waiting for the minutes to tick by so I can be done... Poetry:This quote is on Porter's wall in his nursery as well. The whole thing says "It doesn't matter where you go in life, it's who you have beside you"I love it. Outside:Lucy, outside :) Zoom:The front of my car. This guy leads the way wherever I go :)(My car is REALLY...

Not a very exciting day...We went to Jeremy's brother house and he helped them move some of their furniture to the house they are moving into. Porter and I hung out with Katie and Lily in the kitchen while Katie organized. Porter was pretty cranky today. The pictures above are deceiving...it took a lot to get him to actually nap today, haha. Tomorrow I am taking him to visit the kids I used to nanny for...I miss them! And it'll be exciting for them to meet the little guy who was in my belly for so long :) Please vote...
