Holly's Room - A Work In Progress...
Or, so it seems! As most of you know a small house means really good storage and when you add a little one with 'stuff' that need seems to triple. Holly's rooms has been a work in progress for us as we are slowly figuring out the best options for storage, lighting, use, etc... Our eyes had been set on a new piece of furniture for her room and I had been scouring Craigslist for one. Come to find out our neighbor was selling the exact piece we were desiring, Thanks Jennifer! As well, we have added some better lighting to Holly's room, a new reading chair and a tad of rearranging. Here are some photos of her room now... which she loves & enjoys more than ever being in! We moved her kitchen & house stuff nearer the kitchen in general. She is also playing with all of that way more than before. It's amazing what a little moving around can do for toy rejuvination!

Sunshine & Slowing Down
The weather here -- has finally been NICE! Yay! It is simply amazing what a little sun can do for the soul. Now, I may not be telling you this week - had it not been for the little 2 year old in the family.
This week as I was out and about with Holly attempting to fulfill an errand list about two pages long she pointed out the sun and how pretty it was. We were talking about it driving to our next destination. When I went to get her out and transfer her to a shopping cart - she said "Momma, stop." So, I stopped and asked "What?". "Can we just go play?" Of course in my mind I am thinking... well, not right now. Before I responded she said "It's so sunny & pretty, let's play ~ please?"
It hit me at that moment... "You know what - you are right Holly! It is pretty and we should go play!" So, that we did. We loaded right back up. Put all errands on hiatus and drove to the park. She & I played the lunchtime away -climbing, sliding, running and talking.... all in the sun! It felt so good! I felt rejuvinated and she was having a blast. It wouldn't have happened without her direction though -- a wise 2 year old! In fact, we had so much fun -- we came home called her little buddies & mommies and arranged for another fun park day the next morning! What a week --- I don't know about you, but my soul sure feels a lot better!
Here is to the sunshine! And, here is my sunshine :)
