Easter and blog anniversary

Can you believe it's been a little over a year since I started this blog? Frankly, I had hoped for more views and followers by this time but I guess that will happen in time. I've enjoyed the last year, writing all posts, seeing some comments and will continue to post some more ! I was even lucky enough to do a guest post on My 30 Spot , which was awesome ! So here's a big thank you to all that read this blog and support it ! Thanks again guys !

Now onto to Easter. Ever since I was little I've loved Easter. Probably because we'd (my sisters and I) would wake up Easter morning and we had huge baskets filled with toys and candy from our parents ! Despite this awesomeness, I also did love the time we spent with our family. Later in life, I really learned the true meaning that surrounds Easter and it made this day even better then when I was younger. I am hosting this year and I thought it would be fun to look up some decorative inspirations. Here are some fancies I found. Enjoy !

There is nothing I don't love about this, the colors, patterns and textures !

cute fold

cute napkin print !

I could do this ! And I am thinking I just may

Happy Hump Day everyone !

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Noah's dedication

A month later and I've finally gotten around to posting about this amazing day. Originally Mr. B and I wanted to have the dedication at home, but we opted to have it in a restaurant instead. Less clean up, less set up and less stress ! We went to one place and fell in love with it. We booked it on the spot. Here is what it looks like inside, if you know me in real life, you know this is 100% my style. I looked online for a while to find the right invite. Most websites are pre printed invites that all said "Baptism or Christening".... it was hard to find one that actually said or allowed me to write dedication. I went with the good old staple, Vistaprint. I also designed labels there as well. Below you can see both. The cake was something I wasn't 100% sold on since we really didn't need one because there was a dessert buffet. But I figured for picture use, it would be good.... hindsight, I have one picture of it !!! Waste of money, although the cake was del...
