Monday Moves

The coffee has been drank, my kids fed and now it's time to blog about a stylish lady.
I stumbled upon Knight Moves while here and it is now one of my favorite new blogs. Kyle has impeccable taste and her home reflects it.

I am loving her dining room and her amazing Restoration Hardware chairs. 

I have been lusting after these for some time. 

The chandelier is from Z Gallerie. It is so elegant and brings this space together beautifully. 

The family room is showroom quality and yet I want to sit on the sofa and watch the telly.

The formal living room 

The Master bedroom. I love, love, love this bed. 

One thing I especially love about all of the spaces are the frames. They all fit each space but add so much to each wall. Go on, I know you want to, visit Knight Moves here. 

Did anything move you this weekend?

room service please

Have you all checked out the fantastic website for Room Service? There are so many things I love but I especially love this modern wallpaper.

My guest bedroom is in dire need of a lift. I am thinking an accent wall in one of these four colors might do the trick. Do you like wallpaper? If so, what are some of your favorites?

Well my friends, things have been hectic, stressful really and my blog is being neglected due to this. I guess it's time to fess up with why..... The hubs is sick. Sick with what, we aren't sure. Two nights ago we spent the evening in the ER because I was freaking out with how bad it got for the hubs.
We've been to many specialists and no word yet on what is wrong. We go to another doc today, one we haven't seen before so we are hopeful. All prayers, well wishes, crossing your fingers are appreciated.

With things being so hard on the hubs I think we are due for a date night.

the big red

These remind me of being sick as a kid. For some reason they always made me feel better. Well, I am sick along with my hubs and two little men so I've been munching on my Luden's. Things are looking up for us which means I'll be back soon. 

fly me away

away from dirty laundry, piles of dishes, dusty floors, screaming kids, poopy diapers, wet dogs....

Sacramento's La Martine Floral Design

I am loving this Valentine's Display

no way, it's already tuesday....

The fam and I had a great weekend.  I hope you did too.  The men worked on the courtyard on Saturday. The boys loved helping dad dig in the dirt to make way for the plants.

{The boys playing digging away}

While the men were hard at work I was being pampered with a haircut and color at my local salon, Hoshall's. It was blissful. I read loads of magazines, drank cucumber water (sooo refreshing) and relaxed in the serene setting.

On Sunday we spent quality time together.  First we started the morning off with......

{I heart my chalkboard}

I recently purchased The Pioneer Woman Cookbook and knew instantly I had to make the French Breakfast Puffs. They are yum! Next time, I am gonna make them as mini muffins so they'll be easier to gobble down. My husband kept saying how great they'd be with a chocolate dipping sauce. Although that would put these under a dessert vs. breakfast. No?

After breakfast we took a walk in our neighborhood and enjoyed the scenery, Folsom Lake. The lake is a bit low right now but she's sure to fill up come Summer time.

The boys loved seeing the horse. She was beautiful, friendly and made giant poops. 

The boys were in awe of them. 

The boys loved finding the different sticks and stones. 

Jake would grab his binoculars to investigate the dirt, it was hilarious!

That's the dish for Tuesday, more to come this week!
