Birthday DIY

Today is Tyler’s birthday and I am anxiously waiting for him to come home from work so that he can open up his present. Since we just purchased our condo a few short months ago, we have decided this year that we are not going to go overboard with presents. Our birthdays are very close together (his being today, mine is in May) so it can get to be quite an expensive time of year for us. Birthdays are my favorite thing to celebrate and I wanted to make this day extra special for Tyler without breaking the bank. I ordered him a very nice pair of dress shoes for his corporate attire that he wears to work but I also wanted something that we could enjoy together.

Virtual Housewarming

~Welcome~

Since there are so many of you who won’t actually be able to come over and “warm” our house with us… here is a virtual tour of our humble abode. I must apologize for the delay in getting these up as we have slowly been getting settled. There are still a few things that need to be purchased, put up and placed so please excuse my barren walls and pile of boxes…Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy~!

Home Sweet Home

Our first weekend in our new home!

We have unpacked almost all of the boxes and reorganized things mmmm I’d say  about 50 times…okay, maybe not quite that many times, but it sure feels like it! All unpacking aside, we did find some time this weekend to put our feet up to relax and enjoy being at home.

On Saturday, along with a lovely bouquet Pink Asiatic Lillies, I was greeted with homemade cinnamon french toast with fresh strawberries and maple syrrup…this was a wonderful and delicious surprise! These lillies are my favorite! They smell so delicious every time I walk by them I  get into a Spring mood.  Tyler always buys them with only one in bloom so that they last longer and I am always greeted by one or two more that bloom everyday.
