For all of you that still actually check in on my blog, I'm back! Please welcome Crosby Philip to our little blogging world! I have much to update - and some future blog changes. <br />
<br />
Life just got so hectic and overwhelming for a few months. Truthfully, I just <em>now</em> missed or cared about blogging. But, I'm FEELIN' it again! I hope you will bear with me while I get readjusted.<br />
<br />
Much love & thanks~<br />

I have wanted to add some pink touches to our bedroom since we repainted it a few years back. So I could not resist when I saw this rug at Marshall's. And for only $16.99, I can feel guilt free. I was worried about what Hubs might think of adding more pink to our room. But so far he has not noticed;)<br />
Previously there was a black and white rug there. How do you think the pink looks?<br />

Four years ago today I married my best friend. And while most of my friends have been married longer than that, I still feel like so much has happened! It's been full of joy and great memories. It's certainly had it's frustrating moments. And when I'm at my best, I'm constantly learning and growing. <br />
<br />
This verse is probably the most read at weddings. It was one we selected. But today I am reminded of the truth of it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><em> Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.</em></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>1 Corinthians 13: 4-8</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Anniversary, Grant. Thank you for the happiest moments of my life. We appreciate you and all your hard work. Love you!<br />
<br />

Thanks so much to Jennifer at Oo-la-la for letting me guest blog while
she's holidaying in St. Simons with her family! Jennifer's style and mine can be
quite different, though we always seem to love what the other
wears/decorates/eats/whatever. I was more than happy to share my latest
obsession as a guest blogger -- turquoise and red.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
My husband and I are living overseas in Australia on a work assignment.
Typically, there are two ways to move with an international company: 1) Bring
your own furniture from home (more specifically, whatever you can fit in a
shipping crate), or 2) Rent a home that is already furnished. With our moving
circumstances, we opted for Option 2. </div>
<br />
<div>
Long story short: We hated it. When the furnished apartment's lease came
up, we promptly moved out and bought the bare minimum amount of cost-efficient
furniture to make a comfortable home in an unfurnished apartment. While we did
have some added expenses, we also had the freedom to decorate with essentially a
blank slate. I figured I might as well try something a little daring and
different, especially since I was living abroad and this was not lifelong
investment furniture.</div>
<br />
<div>
After visiting a fellow expat's home who was using turquoise as an accent,
I knew I wanted to use it, too. I searched online for a couple of turquoise
'inspiration photos' and stumbled across turquoise and red together. I loved it
immediately but thought I could never pull it off properly. I looked at a few
other colour options, but always came back to the turqu-red combination,
especially with a white background. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO5JF_uAX7bp2skClGd1AysBxMZoUm5bXA-XMI2wUMimkNzp7yUcRadkivIk0hO8h7V4-7Gc5lURVggJCnJWFfFh8S7pJ0nP6D7TKXCoPU9mkLaE-TDr5z8HRbFWXrMExV9TCz9tUB08nL/s1600/turquoise_red+(10).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO5JF_uAX7bp2skClGd1AysBxMZoUm5bXA-XMI2wUMimkNzp7yUcRadkivIk0hO8h7V4-7Gc5lURVggJCnJWFfFh8S7pJ0nP6D7TKXCoPU9mkLaE-TDr5z8HRbFWXrMExV9TCz9tUB08nL/s1600/turquoise_red+(10).JPG" /></a></div>
<br /><br />
<br />
<div>
This vivid combo was definitely something daring and different for me, but
not so radical that I couldn't find pieces that worked together. In the back of
my mind, I knew could always split the colors to use separately in different
rooms if it didn't work or I grew tired of it. When heading to the shops, I took
some photos with me to capture the right shades of red and turquoise
for consistency. </div>
<br /><br />
<br />
<div>
The first piece I bought was the rug. This wasn't exactly by design but by
incredible sale price. On the rug sale rack, I spotted a plush, thick pile rug
with different shades of turquoise -- perfect for matching up any varieties of
turqu that I settled on. I told the salesman that I hadn't <i>actually
started</i> decorating the apartment yet, so it didn't make sense to buy a rug
before I bought a stick of furniture. He argued that the room decor should be
built from the floor (or rug) up. He added that it's much harder to match a rug
<i>after</i> the fact. Of course, he<i> is</i> a rug salesman but his argument
made sense. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB_ZkGOaeATo0KC5R-g0kFEb5Em92GfyP9QNBFtPrRS7R9InXDrHEHAIzNKZ6B-mSxtZIWQIaIHxDouAWM0IZ0h7XTNHWW6t1kwdNg2cJvQkTDlf88uhYGo_ggpIlMrC9tSLkE4mhS7C-S/s1600/IMG_4809.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB_ZkGOaeATo0KC5R-g0kFEb5Em92GfyP9QNBFtPrRS7R9InXDrHEHAIzNKZ6B-mSxtZIWQIaIHxDouAWM0IZ0h7XTNHWW6t1kwdNg2cJvQkTDlf88uhYGo_ggpIlMrC9tSLkE4mhS7C-S/s1600/IMG_4809.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
I asked the price, and he flipped the rug over to get the dimensions and
item number. That's when I realized that I had picked out an Espirit Home
Collections rug... the most expensive brand the store carried. Of course. I
didn't even know Espirit made rugs, but I'm not shocked that their high prices
carry over to the home goods, too. </div>
<br />
<div>
He checked the sale price and expressed his shock at how low the price
was<i> </i>for that size and type of rug <i>(again, he </i>is<i> a salesman, but
it appeared to be genuine shock)</i>. It was still higher than I would normally
pay for a rug, but it really did sound like a good deal. Why not? I paid and
pulled the car around for pickup. As he was loading it in the car, he confessed
that he had misquoted me the wrong price (he had looked at the smaller size
price) but it was too late -- I got the rug for about 65% off the retail price
instead of the advertised 25%! It was a mistake definitely in my favour, and
it's definitely been worth it.</div>
<br />
<div>
Now that I had a central rug, I had to get busy on the furniture. I figured
the best way to pull off this striking colour combination was against all white.
I found a furniture store in Australia similar to the American furniture store
Rooms-To-Go. It had a stunning Chanel-inspired quilted white leather sofa set
that would be the living room's focal point. The other pieces just fell into
place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
The result was expressive and clean, yet serene. Our new home feels bright

time to leave Australia, we'll try to bring the furniture back to America or
re-sell it. Regardless, it's ours to enjoy for now. </div>

Nurseries are always fun (the decorating that is - not the dirty diapers and midnight feedings). <br />
But, we are facing a difficult decorating conundrum with trying to sell our townhome. I honestly wanted to go in a completely different direction- including fun wallpaper. But since we have no clue if we will move before or after our new baby boy - keeping things simple is the easiest solution. I started with this for my inspiration:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz1EFh-M8nda9pnYDbICoVuPUy3nI6hA5jBTlYDbuMwkdNLJVSBKDf6S4t5xchsp4uN-_pX9r1XIf16aCKKr7XOuZ5Sct9UuCVLRPgiosmrM4WPIL7sJM22inWUEznMxVLsWdCHygA_BtR/s1600/beach-theme-nursery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz1EFh-M8nda9pnYDbICoVuPUy3nI6hA5jBTlYDbuMwkdNLJVSBKDf6S4t5xchsp4uN-_pX9r1XIf16aCKKr7XOuZ5Sct9UuCVLRPgiosmrM4WPIL7sJM22inWUEznMxVLsWdCHygA_BtR/s320/beach-theme-nursery.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reason number one - I am drawn to the beach theme since we live on the coast. Reason number two - the current nursery is painted almost the exact same color. So with a change of fabric and a few decorations - we will have a simple (and money saving) nursery change.</div>
<br />
<br />
The fabric I chose is called "Crab Netting" in sunset orange by Karen Robertson. This will be used for decorative bedding, changing pad cover, and chair cushions.<br />

So glad I finally made it. It was a perfect side for a cookout we attended this past weekend. And easy too. I cheated and used Jiffy for the the cornbread - substituting buttermilk for the milk (and I added some jalapenos as well). This recipe is definitely a keeper.<br />

Hello! I'm starting fresh this Monday with a new blog post. Between travel, life, and <em>still</em> trying to sell our townhouse I am a blogging slacker.<br />
I do hope everyone had a great Mother's Day weekend. We sure did. Grant and Greyson surprised me with these goodies:<br />

Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this recipe on <a href="http://www.alexandracooks.com/">www.alexandracooks.com</a> and I can not wait to try it.</div>
<br />
<h4>
Buttermilk-Blueberry Breakfast Cake</h4>
Serves 6-8<br />
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature<br />2 tsp. lemon zest or more — zest from 1 large lemon<br />7/8 cup* + 1 tablespoon sugar**<br />1 egg, room temperature<br />1 tsp. vanilla<br />2 cups flour<br />2 tsp. baking powder<br />1 tsp. kosher salt<br />2 cups fresh blueberries<br />½ cup buttermilk<br />
* 7/8 cup = 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons<br />** This 1 tablespoon is for sprinkling on top<br />
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Cream butter with lemon zest and 7/8 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy.<br />
2. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Meanwhile, toss the blueberries with ¼ cup of flour, then whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt. <br />
3. Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time, alternating with the buttermilk. Fold in the blueberries.<br />
4. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan (or something similar) with butter or coat with non-stick spray. Spread batter into pan. Sprinkle batter with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 35 minutes. Check with a toothpick for doneness. If necessary, return pan to oven for a couple of more minutes. (Note: Baking for as long as 10 minutes more might be necessary.) Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.<br />

My parents are on their way and I'm about to go pick up the ham. We can't wait for our church Easter egg hunt tomorrow. Greyson practiced on Wednesday at a playdate my friend hosted. And let me just say - he was far more interested in her dogs than and eggs. But, we did all enjoy these awesome treats our lovely hostess prepared.<br />

Sephora claims they are an "all-in-one skincare wonder. Their lightweight, multitasking formulas provide SPF sunscreen protection and work to moisturize, conceal, and treat skin in just one simple step. The silky, tinted lotions effortlessly blend with your natural tone, minimize the need for concealer and foundation, camouflage lines and imperfections, and serve as a skin-perfecting primer. With just one swipe, skin is left looking smooth, glowing, and natural." <br />
I'll take that, please. There are so many out there. I like that Garnier has one for only $12. Might be worth a try for that price.<br />

This past Friday Greyson participated in the Kids Bridge Run in Hampton Park. Basically we pushed him in the stroller for .25 miles. Lots of fun for everyone - and Hampton Park is always beautiful. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Saturday morning was hectic with a house showing. Luckily I was able to fit in a much needed pedicure before date night with hubby. We don't get babysitters often, so this was truly needed!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since we had late dinner reservations, Grant and I started off at Barsa for appetizers. The Lamb Meatballs with spicy tomato sauce were amazing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From Barsa we moved on to Peninsula Grill - which is my favorite restaurant. Grant has been working so hard, so this was a special treat for us. Usually my parents take us to this particular restaurant. So it was a first for just the two of us to dine at Peninsula Grill. I had my usual - Lobster & Corn Chowder and Lobster "3 Way". Grant ordered the softshell crab - which were excellent. But, the chocolate molten cake was the best. It was a pregnant girls dream come true.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Gardners made it to church Sunday morning! We tried out a different service for the first time and really enjoyed it. Grant and I both prefer a more traditional service, but this one was great for Greyson. I think we will alternate between the two. We are looking forward to our church's Easter egg hunt next Saturday too. All are welcome!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.goodshepherdsc.com/visitors/">http://www.goodshepherdsc.com/visitors/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And last but not least, Cajun fest was also on Sunday. It's usually the only time I get my crawfish fix each year. And I wasn't disappointed!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm a Y&R addict. Truthfully I started watching all the CBS soaps at an early age. It's a good thing most of them are off the air now. How did stay at home moms ever get anything done between 12:30pm - 4:00pm?? I try and watch while Greyson is napping. But, he has seen it enough to smile when he hears the theme music.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit1T1nCzMd7UUQfwSPj3MPLCZ3d49PQkj33GfrSmqtGZO8qDFZrDb78FPF1YPLb4Eq56RAhAKXsvcBw8mrjlSTqq4-KUD8I-Ryp-nIi4lGf1nxqAG1X0KUtbMQ7Xb_i7auWb22UjtTvwSh/s1600/the-young-and-the-restless-0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit1T1nCzMd7UUQfwSPj3MPLCZ3d49PQkj33GfrSmqtGZO8qDFZrDb78FPF1YPLb4Eq56RAhAKXsvcBw8mrjlSTqq4-KUD8I-Ryp-nIi4lGf1nxqAG1X0KUtbMQ7Xb_i7auWb22UjtTvwSh/s320/the-young-and-the-restless-0.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Most of the years I was working, I didn't really keep up with any of them. Until about five years ago - I discovered SoapNet. My daily routine was to come home from work, get dinner started, pour a glass if wine, and park myself in front of the tv for my Y&R fix. I truly believe this is the real reason Grant was so encouraging for me to stay at home with Greyson - no more soap opera to suffer through from 7:00 - 8:00 every night....<br />
My best friend catches it in the evenings when she gets home from work as well. Our usual texts or emails contain no "How are you?" or "Did you have a good day?". Its more like, "Adam's best line yet!!!" or "What is Phyllis wearing???". We spend more time discussing the latest in the GC than our own lives. Below are some of our favorite topics.<br />
<br />
1. Are they really selling Jabot Cosmetics? And who is buying it?? And if Tracy Bergman (Lauren) really wears it, I might try it out. That woman hasn't aged in 20 years. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtPvEsR6HDoMoFFRIKOKGC_sc3lhypa33tNsrH0Sll6qLGEDoGCzH7LJJA7PwP0KJVobMHF4cseMa9YIZFnByi3gjXr2upNopXL9R0JOnMa5pwxjzL3Jzd2EOorZqyBzIPsT0tH7MtQCpX/s1600/dd08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtPvEsR6HDoMoFFRIKOKGC_sc3lhypa33tNsrH0Sll6qLGEDoGCzH7LJJA7PwP0KJVobMHF4cseMa9YIZFnByi3gjXr2upNopXL9R0JOnMa5pwxjzL3Jzd2EOorZqyBzIPsT0tH7MtQCpX/s1600/dd08.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2. Why is Victor still in fight scenes? He's way too old to be kicking ass and taking names. Eric Braden is 70 years old. I'm not sure how old Victor is suppose to be. But, I know he is too old to take on three 20 year olds in a bar fight. It must be the black t-shirts he always wears....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
