My first {Pretty Happy Funny Real}

I am loving all these "firsts".  I've been reading LMLD's PHFR for ages, and that's how I got introduced to so many of my favorite blogs.  First a disclaimer:  I am NOT the photographer in the house, that is the wonderful husband. But, I'm slowly learning.  So here goes:

My mom gave me all these old table runners, doilies and various other cloths that she's had forever.  Some were made by my grandmothers.  I was going to give them all away, but they were pressed so nicely and placed in tissue paper.  Before Christmas, I felt like the house was a bit blah.  So, I started putting them out in a few places.  Wonderfully, this has encouraged me to keep piles from forming on said places.  One of my favorites is the baby's dresser.

It started raining!  I love the rain and we have gone a long long time without it.  Hopefully this is just the start of the storm.

As soon as you create a little order out of the chaos, that place becomes the most desirable place to play!  Once, my sister and I straightened up the pantry in my mom's house.  It really did look pretty.  And sure enough, I found my little brother hanging out in there.  Current case in point - Aaron and I just organized all of the baby books and the toddler books, and put them neatly on the shelves.  Here it is a few hours later:

The baby has the stomach flu.  This is the second time in a month!  Poor little Chickadee.  I can't stand it when my little ones are sick.  Hopefully Bluejay doesn't catch it.
