Owly Bathroom

Remember in the home tour & again in the guest room re-do seeing that I have owl all over our houses?! Well, the guest bathroom was pretty much owl free. It’s had a beachy theme which I’ve been just fine with. But after 5 years, I was ready for a little change.

So when I saw these featured on The Owl Barn from Target, I was smitten. I looked for the set at a couple area Targets before going on my phone & realizing I’d missed the dreaded “online only”. I sat on it for a couple days before taking the plunge & buying the shower curtain & lotion/soap pump online. Hello guest bathroom re-do!!

I removed the beachy themed decorations & added in a few owls that I already had. Instead of little beach frames to the right of the shower, I’ve now hung two wooden frames. Might need to update the photos in them though.

I returned the toilet seat cover because I couldn’t keep the seat up with it on. I’ve decided I need want the soap dish {the current white one holding ‘B’ soap bar is boring} & toothbrush holder to complete the set. The trashcan now doesn’t match either. I need a covered one to keep Moe {who’s a fan of the redo!} out of it so I’ll probably pick up a basic white one of my next Target trip.

Baby Brianna

Baby Brianna was supposed to be born via scheduled C-section last Wednesday. Instead she surprised her parents {& big sis Lexie} by arriving Sunday morning. Which meant things were a little hectic for them as they had things all planned out for later in the week!

Dad Keith {my husband’s coworker} was picking his mom up from the airport, & Lexie was staying with another of their friends. New mom to 2 under 2, Jen & I were able to hang out with tiny baby Brianna last Tuesday night while they were having their last night at Rex Hospital. I went after book club around 7. We got to chatting, enjoying baby snuggles & walks around the halls, next thing I knew, it was close to 10p! So fun & I’d never been to Rex baby center so I enjoyed checking it all out. So glad I remembered my D5000 to capture these freshly baked baby shots.

Jen was doing great & y’all can see, Brianna is just precious! She went from Jen to their daycare provider {who also stopped by} then my arms like it was nothing. I was LOVING that skinny baby legs & feet! Brianna also enjoyed chillin’ in the bassinet with that paci. We’re looking forward to going to visit this family at home soon.

Lilly Pulitzer on Rue La La {again!}

Lilly was again featured on Rue La La this morning begining at 10a. I had a RE appointment, so it was almost 10 when I got to work. I was working away when I glanced at my phone at 1115 & suddenly realized, I’d missed the beginning of the sale.

There were a lot of pjs, sunglasses & bags on the sale as well as dresses, shirts, skirts & MCKIMS! Lucky for me there was a size 9.5 left in these super cute McKims.
I also picked up the basic Lexie top in Shorely Blue which I think will match perfect with the scarf I bought at the Warehouse Sale last spring.

Lilly shopping always has me ready for summer. What’d you buy at the sale? Didn’t know about it? Run over to RueLaLa now!

Things that are making me Smile

I hadn’t planned to do this post tonight. This day started and I was so down. But I at least try to be a hopeful positive person, so thinking that way I wanted to share a few things that have made me smile the past few days.

My first giveaway! Don’t forget to enter.

Starting off your day (11am can be considered starting off on a weekend right?!) walking around a pretty little local lake with a good friend.

Watching Netflix movie with your husband {The Town which was ok}. Snacking on sweet tart gummies eaten out of the Sew Curly snack bag which was a very fun giveaway win!

Enjoying a-not-planned but very fun dinner out at the local Ale House.

Words with Friends which quiets your over-stressed head and allows to bring on sleep.

Holding hands at breakfast. It’s seriously made me smile all day.

Beautiful sunny days that make catching up over lunch with coworkers even better.

Texts and messaging with friends with new babies. Making plans to visit one tomorrow night while they’re still in the hospital & the other Thursday night.

Super yummy subs for dinner. Yep, same meal as last Monday but just as good!

Small group fellowship with caring friends at church. Andy Stanley’s awesome message on Believing the Best about your spouse.

Ben & Jerry’s to end your day.

Now I could have made this post about the fact that VCU lost, my SUV got dented by a hit & run driver, & I got my period. But those might be another post. Tonight, I’m going with smiles.

What made you smile this Monday?
