windows

This is my incomplete dining room.  This week we are having a designer come out and give ideas, measure and whatever else regarding what they see fit for this space of windows.  We need tall curtains to add privacy and to help with the temperature.    

Just a bit of background, we have espresso cabinets throughout our house, the kitchen is cream cabinets with espresso wood floors.  The floors in this dining room are a creamy tile and the walls are a deep cream with white crown moulding.  I wish I could show you a dining room table but we haven't found one yet that we both can agree on.  I want round the hubs wants rectangle. 

What are your thoughts or recommendations for this wall of windows?

looking back

While searching through our photos the other day, I noticed I never showed you pics of our family photo shoot, actually I still don't have them from the photographer, but I do have our day of fun that followed the shoot.  First stop, Fairytale Town.

 You can see my boys love to slide and there are plenty of them at Fairytale Town where fairytales and nursery rhymes are brought to life.  Fairytale Town is located in Land Park which also houses a beautiful park with a pond, the Sacramento Zoo and Funderland.  There's too much to do in a day but with so much to enjoy we visit lots! 

Second Stop, Zocalo's, a delicious mexican restaurant.  Their margaritas are amazing as are their enchiladas and guacamole.  Also, the look is cool and inviting with walls of sliding doors that bring the outdoors in.  It's the perfect end to a perfect day.

How was your weekend? 

fill in the blank

It's fill in the blank friday at Lauren's blog,  make sure to link up and enjoy the fun. This friday is movies.... My favorite subject aside from celebrity gossip, kidding, sort of! Enjoy! 

1.  My Favorite Movie of All Time is Contact.  This movie sucks me in every time it's on the TV.  I don't own it which is odd but I love it.  The Thomas Crown Affair is a close second. 

2.  My Favorite Movie as a Child is The Little Mermaid, the original, not the disney version.  Whenever I was sick my mom would rent this for me so I could watch it while I nibbled on my orange sherbert ice cream.  It was comforting to me. 

3.  The Best Movie Quote Ever is The entire Airplane movie has the funniest quotes.  
Ted Striker:  My orders cam through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar. 
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified. 

4. My Favorite Movie Actress is Reese Witherspoon, I love all of her movies which means I am a sucker for a good romantic comedy.  My Favorite Actor is Tom Cruise, he kick's butt in his Mission Impossible series and I LOVE it... Oh, and he was good in Top Gun too. 

5. The Movie I Could Watch Over and Over is You've Got Mail, Working Girl, When Harry Met Sally, P.S. I love you, Pretty in Pink, Practical Magic & Sweet Home Alabama.  I am sorry but picking one wasn't an option for me. 

6.  My Favorite Movie Genre:  Romantic Comedy, I love love and I love to laugh.  

7.  A Movie I'd like to Watch This Weekend is The Blind Side.  Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses and since she won an oscar for this I figure it's a winner. 

a lazy day

This weekend I want to grab my bike and this adorable Kate Spade picnic basket and head to the park.  My boys and I will indulge in crackers topped with yummy cheeses and some dark chocolate while sipping pink lemonade.  

After our yummy snacks we'll go fly a kite or two and run around enjoying the sunny spring day. 

What are your weekend plans?  Any lazy days ahead?

too cool

I keep searching online for the perfect bedding for our guest room and sadly, I still haven't found it... While searching, I stumbled upon this cool & modern baby bedding line, OILO, which I found here.  What do you think?  Are you more modern or traditional with baby bedding/rooms?  Normally, I go traditional, but I am wavering.  

If we have more babies one day, I might be spotted going modern on their room.  

I love the first picture with the green bedding, shade, everything really!  As I like to say, it's perfection, at least in my eyes....
