  • Hello and welcome to my blog…

    This is a place where I have gathered my thoughts, my ideas, my photographs, my life, my inspiration and basically anything I love and find meaning to. I am currently enjoying life as a mommy to one beautiful little baby girl (noracate), taking a break from a career in the design industry.

    I Hope that this is a place that can inspire you!

Out In The Wild Flowers!

The flowers are finally blooming in our yard!  We planted tons and tons of wild flowers. Nora loves walking around the yard pointing at the flowers and saying “ahhhhh haaaaaaa”. Little by little the yard is coming together. We are still finding lots of ticks…thinking owning some chickens might not be a bad idea, our neighbors have them to help control the tick population. We are now working on building steps down to the lower part of our front yard. The work is never done when owning a home both on the inside and out.

DressUp and Pretend Play!

DressUp and Pretend play are two things Nora loves to do…she is truly a girly girl.  She and I went consignment shopping this week and found this pink seersucker dress for only $7.00, such a treasure. She is liking her doll house more and more these days. It is so cute watching her try to make the family sit on the sofas. She also points out the fact that there is a dog and cat…about a bajillion times. I had to include the piggy face in this set…she will hate me for taking that picture someday.

Aunt Kim - Absolutely adorable!!!

Outdoor Fun And Yard Work!

With the weather getting nicer finally we are spending more time out in the yard. We didn’t really have the chance to work on the yard since we moved into the house at the end of the warm weather season last year and were working on the inside of the house and still working on the inside day by day – as of now our kitchen is a construction site inside! Nora has discovered playing outside may be her favorite thing to do… temper tantrums when it is time to come in (I think we have approached the terrible two’s a few months early).  She loves to be daddy’s little helper outside!

Dale Ann Randall - love the pictures. you must have had warmer days there than we have had here. Has Nora had a ride in the wheel barrel yet? Looks like Chris is keeping busy.xoxo

noracate - Yeah it was almost 80 here this past week…summer is on the way. no wheel barrel ride since she had your new outfit on and he had already loaded dirt into it.

Fun In Nora’s Room!

Nora’s room is finally coming along.  She wants to play in it all day long!  She just got a new chalkboard last week so she is having fun learning how to draw things on it… and then erase (she loves the eraser).  Today she got a bunny from Aunt Cathy, when she opened it her eyes lit up and she gave it a big hug.  We took the bunny up to Nora’s room to meet all of her new “friends”.
