a special baby’s nursery

02.16.15

a special baby's nursery
We’ve got a very special little prince arriving in 2 weeks and of all the homes, rooms and nursery’s that I’ve decorated over the years, this is the most heartfelt and exciting one I have EVER done.   A special baby’s nursery!!!


The hubby and I traveled north and the weather was absolutely beautiful, check KC! (Not so much on the return trip)…

We arrived at the kids place safe and sound.  Our daughter had her vision of what this special baby nursery was to look like.  She had a woodland theme picked out along with the color scheme and most of the materials.  We stopped in Oklahoma, (for Aunt Alice’s project) and Boo and I brought the items we custom made as well. Then with the mommy’s direction, we helped put it together.  Super EXCITING!!!

the awful snowstorm on return trip home

As always we hated leaving our girl but we had a wonderful time and the best project EVER just needs a few personal touches from the beautiful little mommy…2 weeks to go and counting!

All that’s lacking…the little guy~

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

He likes working outdoors in the cold for a bit so he can come inside and have a “hot cocoa tea party” as he calls it!💋 He loves this tea set and so do I ❣️

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂

Thursday oh Thursday! . Doing something I haven’ Thursday oh Thursday!

Doing something I haven’t done in 5 years and channeling my inner “momma”!

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
