The Mister surprised me by starting his vacation two days early. Yay! We’ll be spending time with the boys until he goes back to work after the new year. Boo!
I’ll be in and out (mostly out) until then. Some of the things I hope to accomplish during this time include
- Dunking these freshly made marshmallows into some hot chocolate
- Picking out a new paint color for the living room. I’m thinking a pretty pear green to go with the fabric in these curtains, but I’m not sure. These curtains will go all along one wall (we have two picture windows and an 8 foot slider) and while I like them along the wall, I think they might be too busy with the large stone fireplace.� Kindly ignore the evidence of living with two little boys.� {Also, don’t worry design fans–we’ll be hanging the curtains up higher than they are now.}
- Learning how to do that thing in Photo Shop Elements where you can paint your walls virtually to get an idea of how a paint color will work.
- Update the blogroll
- Read lots and lots of books.
See you next year!
Sounds like fun, but I’m gonna keep to a much shorter list. I’m just gonna give birth if it’s all the same to ya’ll! :) I would like to have the recipe to those marshmallows though. Nummy!

Blog Crush? Awwww thank you! I’m currently transitioning from my old livejournal account, so stay tuned for non-book reviews :-) Well, less book reviews anyway. Enjoy your blog-break, and excuse me, I think I have to go figure out how to make homemade marshmallows now because those look so good…
Good luck next week, Brooke!
Jessica, don’t stop the book reviews! I love them, and you do a great job synthesizing the plot. :)
Jules-I’ll miss reading your blogs…but how sweet to have extra family time!! Merry Christmas!
Homemade marshmallows sound delicious!! Happy Holidays!
Enjoy the time off with your Husband and Family! The pending delivery of our first child is going to net the Husband two weeks off work, so hopefully I’ll go into labor this weekend and he’ll have off through the New Year as well :)
Happy Holidays!

Hi there! I just found your blog and I love it! I tried to subscribe to your RSS feed however, and it just gives me your old one that forwards me to this blog but doesn’t give the new entries. Wasn’t sure if you were aware of this or not, just thought I’d let you know!
I’m sorry, did you say “homemade marshmallows?” Who even knew that was possible? I cannot even convey how impressed I am. Have a good Christmas!

Hi! Are those curtains Ikea? I love them! Where are they from?
Maggie,
They are from IKEA. We just finished putting them up, and they look great!
I had to LOL about your higher curtains comment.. we installed all of our too low and had to go back and redo them all. I think a pear green would look great! Also, I forgot to tell you about my two anniversary story.. I’ll email it to you later today :)

Ariana,
We hung them and hung them high! Wow. What a difference! I’ll have to take pictures in the new year and get everyone’s opinion. I think they look pretty darn great.
