I am 95% finished with Sarah Kate's room. When she gets older, we will move her into a twin bed with a hot pink comforter and the green giraffe print pillows. I am waiting till she nears 3 before I take her out of that crib. I know, I know, these curtains should go ALL the way down or either chopped off. I am going to have a talented friend do that in the near future. I have had a lot of fun working on her room!
Cute room! I have enjoyed reading your blog. I came across it one day and check back often. Thank you for being such an inspiring person and I love your heart for our wonderful, gracious and loving Lord. Britton

I love her room and I love that chair. I have no idea what I will do for Reid's room, but I do love sock monkey's but why are they so expensive ugh.. anyway great job
Laurie, Sarah Kate's room is adorable! I am a stay at home MOM and love reading your blog.
I make personalized Wall Letters and have a shop on etsy. I would love to make Sarah Kate some of my personalized letters (my treat, shipping and all). My letters are unique. They are upholstered with fabric and trimmed with ribbon.
If you don't see a fabric u like, u can send me the fabric(s) of your choice. The name of my shop on etsy is: spellitwithstyle http://www.etsy.com/shop/spellitwithstyle Hope to hear back from you! Thanks! Brook Durham, Lufkin Texas
I love that "you wake her, you take her" sign! My mom would have LOVED to have that when I was growing up. In fact, I think she'd like to have that now!
Hey Laurie! I am SOOO happy I get to create Sarah Kate's Letters! I am going to put 4 or 5 more pink and green listings on my etsy store today. Just convo me or email me at spellitwithstyle@yahoo.com if you need anything or when you know what you would like. Thanks! Brook Durham, Lufkin Texas
It looks great! I wish you could come work on Annie and Lowrey's rooms. I see pictures like this and it makes me want to do something, but then I get bogged down in all the "stuff". Love it, love it!
This Fall Emily has participated in Cotillion. Some of you may wonder what that is, well, Cotillion means a social dance. The boys and girls dress up, learn manners and learn several different dances. Emily is loving it!
Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....
