Sorry about my lack of posts lately.

Things have gotten a little rough over here in hospital land.

Regular contractions have placed me on meds that make me feel real crummy, so chronic headaches have become my new BFF…making looking at the computer screen too long unbearable!

Hopefully next week will be better!

I promise to be back to normal blogging once this whole ordeal is over, so please be patient with me.

Until then, head on over to Livy Love Designs, she has the cutest prints in her shop right now, and I think they make the best Christmas gifts.

As I am sure you are all aware, there are lots of great sales going on right now.

Every once in a while I find some deals that I can’t help but sharing.

I recently found two looks-for-less that I love.

First, this is one of my favorite sunburst mirrors from Wisteria.

It’s large, bulky, and such a great statement piece.

It retails for $299.00

Last week I found this mirror at Home Depot online. Although it looks a little different than the Horchow mirror, I still love it.

It retails for $109.00!

We all love Jonathan Adler’s Queen Anne Mirror.

It retails for $595.00.

This Lawson Mirror from Bronson Design is almost an exact replica.

It retails for $286.00!

And just incase you haven’t heard yet, Rugs USA is having a huge black friday sale.

Thousands of rugs are 75% off!

Here are a few of my top picks…

1.2.3.4.5.6

With the discount, you are looking at getting an 5’x8′ rug for about $100.00 and an 8’x10′ rug for around $200.00. 

If you are in the market for a rug, you definitely don’t want to miss out on this!

Happy Monday 🙂

This year I have nothing but time to think, and wow…I am one lucky girl.

On Wednesday at my bed rest lunch-in we made Give Thanks pillows. While doing so, I got the chance to meet 2 new bed rest moms. We shared our stories, swapped tips on what’s good to eat, discussed our experiences with the doctors, talked about the NICU, and had such a great time. I know I have said this before, but it continually amazes me what some woman are willing to do for their babies. Many of them are hours away from home, left several kids behind, and spend hours everyday being poked and monitored to make sure the babies are safe. Now that is a Mothers love.

Last week, I had a mom who did bed rest with twins 4 years ago come and visit me.  She brought a care package packed full of the sweetest items to help me get through the next few weeks. One of the gifts was this “I Can” necklace.

I was so touched by her thoughtfulness and kindness. Although I am Thankful for so many things, this year I want to focus on those special people that are willing to to go that extra mile make a difference in someones life, even if it is a complete stranger.

Since being admitted, many of the hospital staff have gone above and beyond to make me comfortable and happy. 

What would I do without Millie who brings my meals 3 times a day and never makes a mistake? Or Milka who I can count on everyday to perfectly clean my room, mop my floor, and have a smile on her face the whole time? I can’t forget about Nurse Nona who took an hour out of her day to teach me how to crochet, or Dr. Weber who patiently dealt with me all night long while I passed my kidney stone.

The list could go on and on, but ultimately, I realize I am so lucky.

So go and do something nice for someone today, even the small things do make a difference.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My husband is in the middle of interviewing for residency.

This means that we will most likely be moving by summer, we just have no clue where yet!

The idea of moving excites me, especially the possibility of starting new with my interior decor.

Maybe I can find a home with a kitchen/living room like this to rent…

Okay, totally unrealistic in our tiny student budget, but one can dream right?

This home is designed by Jute Interior Design, and I think it is fantastic.

I mean, you just can’t go wrong with blue & white.

Now if only I could speed up my husbands education, I can’t wait to own a home!
