hey, i'm back!

i am here! i have missed you, hopefully you have missed me as well. no excuses but...

i started a blog, found out we were having a baby, and started working like crazy. who knew? well, this work work work is wonderful, but it has taken away my beloved internet : blog time. but i am here, and after my friend jared told me my blog needed cpr, i am here to do it! today is beautiful, i love spring. i have pictures of so many fresh and beautiful things and i have somewhere and somehow misplaced my camera cord, so this afternoon, that is my plan, hunt until i find it, and then i can share it all with you. i am sitting on our front porch enjoying the day, with my new nest magazine and sweet tea : with lemon. that is a good day if i do say so myself. i hope you are enjoying your tuesday just as much.

by the way, if you are married, engaged, long to be married, or a homeowner, you should most definitely subscribe to the nest. who doesn't love fresh decorating ideas, a twist on old recipes, relationship advice (admit it, we all need it from time to time), and inspiring home decor? if this sounds like your cup of tea, visit the nest or just go ahead and subscribe, so each month you will find a pleasant little suprise waiting in your mailbox.

some fun inspiration and diy projects, i am sure you will enjoy:
