A Family Addition

Well, no one has called to claim the little dog I found in the Hobby Lobby parking lot on Tuesday. I've called every dog agency in town, placed an ad in the paper and posted her picture on the Facebook page for Enid lost/found dogs. But that's okay. We've decided that she will be better loved by us anyway :)

So this morning we took Little Bit, who now has a real name, to the vet to get her all checked out. The doctor estimated that she's about one year old. We got her shots all done, clipped her nails and picked up some heartworm medicine for her as well. She is good to go! She's even sporting a new collar, name tag and has her very own bed.

Here she is lounging in her favorite spot in the living room last night :)

And here she is now in her very own bed!

Of course I couldn't resist picking up this mini toy as well. It's just like one her big brother Remington has, only the mini size :)

And she also have some new jewelry that proudly proclaims her new name, Riley. She's been a great addition to the family and Remington is so happy to have a new friend. We were always planning on getting another dog AFTER we moved, but apparently God had different plans for us. And we're so happy with them :)

Speaking of puppy dogs, look at this Playful Puppy Party featured on Amy Atlas Events.

It's full of creative ideas! See the rest of the images and details here.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

New Coffee Table

After more than a year of debate, I've finally decided on and ordered us a new coffee table! As mentioned here , there were several styles I was considering. However, in the end the tufted ottoman came out on top. Not only was it versatile, so it can be used for years to come, but it also will be good for when we have kiddos down the road. I can't tell you how many people I know who have had to either remove their coffee tables for the safety of their kids' noggins or have had to add those tacky corner protectors. I did not want to invest in a new piece only to have to stow it away down the road. So this seemed to be the perfect solution. And thanks to my Joss & Main membership, it turned out to be the perfect price too. I was all set to order a tufted ottoman from Ballard Designs. I had already received a swatch sample of the fabric I selected and everything. But a few days later, I got a notification from Joss & Main of a sale event called The Tufted C

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together. The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys. So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door. The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room. Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not. You win some. You lose some. I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace. A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the office sans the Fr

A Heart

Lately, baby prep has been on the forefront of my mind. Getting the nursery ready, packing the hospital bag, washing all of her clothes, setting up a pediatrician and the list goes on. Sometimes I have to step away from it all (literally and mentally) so as not to get overwhelmed. I put this pressure on myself to get it all done and done right. I tell myself that all of these things are so necessary for her to be a good place upon her entrance to the world. Sure cute, clean outfits and a nice room are nice things for your child to have, but how lost I can get in the worldly things. More than anything else, I know that the best thing I can give my daughter is a great example of a good heart. A heart that empathizes and serves. A heart that loves the Lord and longs for his relationship. A heart that is thankful and joyful even on the worst days. It's a frightening thing to ask myself "Will she learn this from you? Will you be able to be that example?" That carr
