Au Revoir 2010!

2010 was a year of growth for this family. Growth in our marriage, growth in our jobs, and physical growth with this huge pregnant belly! Marriage is one of those amazing things that can morph and twist and turn and I believe it not only gets better every year, but we rediscover ourselves through our relationship with our spouse. And on that note I can admit that I am so excited to be having a romantic dinner tonight with M at Ruth's Chris just the two of us! Yes, I will miss my intoxicated house parties with my friends and Mr. Jim Beam but as next year approaches I feel these dinners will be few and far between.

So here is to you M. Thank you for helping me through the stressful parts of our life....We have been through so much together and I can't wait to experience everything 2011 has in store for us with babyfu on the way. I love you!

And to all of you out there having bubbly don't forget about AAA's Tow to Go Program. From the Sun Sentinel....

"If you're at a bar, a restaurant or even a holiday party, you can call 1-800-AAA-HELP and basically we will send a tow truck driver to your location. And, they'll give you a free, confidential tow and ride home," said Jessica Brady, a public relations manager for AAA Auto Club South."

Lastly, thank you for reading my blog! My New Year's resolution is 3 posts a week! Happy New Year to you all!

Ann Taylor Loft Maternity..cute? Sold Out?

I was getting ready to write a scathing post about how all of Ann Taylor Loft's Maternity line is either Sold Out or only available in XL..but while grabbing images from their site I see they finally have some smaller sizes in. I am disappointed this really cute blue and white striped tee is gone, but what do you think of the following pieces??

Maternity Striped Slub Hoodie $49.50

Cute with white jeans if you are preggo after Easter. Or cute now to carry you into Spring!

Maternity Knit Dress with Knot Front $129

The model looks pretty angry but I would wear the heck out of this b/c you can just pop it on over leggings or tights.

Maternity Button Down $44.50

I would wear this to work at least twice a week..makes jeans looks a little less frumpy and adds a little business to my normally lame work attire as of late.

Maternity V-neck Dress by Bellyssima (They had Pink!) $64.99 SOLD OUT

The pink version is so fresh and pretty and for my baby boy's shower I was leaning towards wearing pink. Not sure when this was ever in Stock

Maternity Cowl Neck Sweater $64.50 SOLD OUT

Yes, I know the sold out stuff is on sale..but I have been checking frequently and I never saw it in my size. LOVE this sweater...perfect for this chilly weather & snow!!!

Has anyone ever ordered from AT Loft Maternity? They have a 50% off sale today so I'm tempted to get a few pieces!!! Enter SALE50 at checkout

PS-Are these chicks really pregnant? If so I need their self-tanner

Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles

Megan over at A Life's Design posted about this great article from Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. First.... I just wanna throw in a WE DAT! (New Orleans beat ATL last night in ATL. Big deal! We secured a playoff spot!!)

These pictures are absolutely STUNNING. I have to post the Green bedroom first because this is where I was going with the Nursery ideas. Remember my post about Green Leontine pillows and fun China Seas fabrics? You can read it here.

Here is what I was going for...but with pale blue walls and a blue/green pattern somewhere. Or using one of the those fantastic green ikats with a pale blue border. This picture also shows how you can take white curtains and add a solid border which fancies them up a bit. Pauline Pitt used to add 4" or even 6" border to wide white curtains and it looked fantastic on the leading edges!!! Absolutely LOVE this room.

My dream outdoor living area.  Would also like an Outdoor kitchen/dining area but this will do for play time.

Beautiful Kitchen! I think the chairs are a little cumbersome but still gorgeous. Hydrangeas are one of my favorites!

I have lots of color in my house...but I always love homes soaked in neutrals. Look how soothing these two different areas are?

Thank you Megan for posting!
