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.

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...
