Allow myself to introduce myself

When I started my blog I never really introduced myself so I figured I would start the new year off with some random things that you may not know about me.  Maybe some of you do know some but maybe there is something new here to learn.

I speak to God every night and 4 out of the 5 mornings before I enter work.

I was raised Catholic, and only came into my Christian faith in 2008. It's been the most amazing thing to connect with God. 

I love the smell of laundromats. Such a clean scent.

Mr. B always lays out pajamas for me after a long terrible day. Such a cutie.

I met my Mr. B on Memorial day weekend in 2002 and knew I'd marry him Valentine's day 2003.

Our cat Zero is 8 years old. He is white and we named him after the dog from the Nightmare before Christmas.

I haven't had my hair cut in 10 months. I've trimmed here and there because I am naturally curly, so self trimming is very forgiving. Yesterday was my first hair cut in months. Can we say this girl needed reshaping !

My mother is hands down my best friend. She knows literally everything about me.

My mom named me Elizabeth because she loved the name Beth. But Beth didn't go well with my middle name so Elizabeth it was. My middle name is Jane, after my grandmother. Miss that lady every single day.

I love to cook but hate to bake. I really put my love for my friends and family into what I make for them.

I love to host holidays but STRESS out when I am trying to get things done for them. Guess those things go hand in hand in my book.

I've worked at the same company for 12 years of my life. I get called horrid names from strangers on a regular basis. Sad but true. It's so not good for my soul but that's why I keep a constant connection to God.

I would love to become an advocate for child sexual abuse. Too much of it in this world and not enough options for kids to turn. Sad really. Maybe one day.

I love all things vintage. I get more excited when I score a "new" vintage dress then when I get an actual new dress on sale.

I guess that's all for now. Want to know something? Comment to me and I will answer ya.

Hi Beth,
I noticed you popped by PPT and I wanted to come and visit you.

What a timely post, as we've just "met". You sound like someone who has a deep faith, strong core, cares about other and married to the love of your life.

Wishing you all the very best in 2012!
xo Elizabeth

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.

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!!   It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go.  This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches.  It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room,  was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of some things. As I me

My pregnancy and birth story

  As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight.   Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of a yes and I immediately t
