Bailey's Bathroom Paint Suggestions

Thanks to any of you who gave me your suggestions for our master bath! Your next assignment... Bailey's bathroom.

I'm pretty sure I know what I want to do in here already, but again, just want to get suggestions since I usually have such a hard time deciding on these things!

I found this bathroom set at a yard sale and got everything - shower curtain, hooks, tissue box cover, toothbrush holder, soap dispenser, soap bar holder, curtain, and two rugs - all for $10! And all the "linen" type things, and a couple of the other things are Pottery Barn.

Take a look at the curtain in this first picture though... it is short for some reason. I didn't realize it till I got it home. Don't know why.... did the lady cut and hem it for some reason, or was it just made like this?? I have no clue. I had come up with the brilliant idea to find some kind of repeating duck fabric and just add it to the bottom of the curtain, but it's kind of starting to not bother me so much. So who knows if I'll do that or not.






So again, suggestions, please? Even down to a certain brand and shade if you know them.

Master Bath Paint Suggestions

Okay, to all of my 3 blog readers-- I need your suggestions!

I want to paint our master bathroom, but I'm not sure what color to go with. I recently found a cute ducky themed bathroom set for Bailey's bathroom, so I took the set that was in her bathroom and moved it to ours. It is simple and neutral, but I love it so much.

I feel like I definitely need paint with some color, not just something neutral, so it doesn't look too bland in there, but I don't know what color! Please note that the green towels are just one set in my towel rotation, so I'm not necessarily committed to that color.

Here are the pics I took for your reference....







Okay, go! Fire away with your suggestions!

Look How Far We've Come, My Baby

Today is a special day for us, for a couple of reasons.

Four years ago today, we got married!




That was SUCH a special, wonderful day and holds so many awesome memories for me. I so wish I could go back and relive it. Some days, I can't believe 4 years has gone by so quickly.

And, two years ago today, we heard Bailey's heartbeat on the doppler for the first time. Now THAT's really hard to believe, that is has already been two years since that day.

Anyways, those four years have brought us here....



Now, a family of three. All because two people fell in love, as the song goes. :)
Happy anniversary, Anthony! I love you and have SO enjoyed these past four years with you. Given the chance, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. :)

Meal Plan Monday

It's a fairly easy week for meal planning. I'm really getting so I have plenty of things on hand to plan the bulk of my meals for the week, so I only need to pick up a few things from the store for the week (besides to every week basics- milk, bread, etc.).

Also, Bailey and I are going out of town on Friday with Courtney & John Parker to visit Laura in Tennessee. I am really excited about a girls (plus John Parker, haha) road trip and spending the weekend with Laura! Anyways, I was a good little wifey, and planned for Anthony to eat, even though I won't be here. :)

Monday
Creamy Tomato Basil Soup (I know, it's not really soup weather anymore, but I have this heavy cream leftover that I want to use, and Anthony loves Tomato Basil soup!)
Grilled Cheese

Tuesday
Hot Dogs
Baked French Fries

Wednesday
Pizza

Thursday
Bacon Wrapped Beef Filets
Mashed Potatoes
Vegetable

Friday - Tara gone
Angus Third Pounder & FF from McD's

Saturday - Tara gone
Sirloin Steak on grill

It's Almost Here...

.... Summer, that is! Summer is just around the corner, and on one of the warm, sneak preview days, we headed outside to cool down in some watery fun.

My mom got this for Bailey at Target at the end of last summer so it was on clearance for like $8!



It is so cute and pretty easy to put up, once all the initial "blow-up" work is done. Bailey loved it! Seriously, the water was pretty cold but you never would have known that from the way she played.



Bring on the summer-- we're ready!
