I've had this chandelier catalogued on my wish list for years.   It's called the Zettel'z 5 Chandelier and it retails for $1,220.00. Not only do I think it's really eye catching but it's functional in more ways that one.It provides light and is also a perfect place to hang love notes, reminders, kids pictures, photos...just about anything. Via Casa Sugar.  I bought this light on Fab.com months ago.   Kind of serendipitous that I just hung it up AND it came up for sale again just a couple

 It's amazing what kids will do...  at 6:00 in the morning...  just for a little chocolate covered goodness. I'm sure the only time a little boy would be caught alive skipping through the tulips carrying a cute yellow basket.

I've been looking for a large rug for my living room. Jute and sisal rugs are all the rage. They provide a natural fiber floor covering all while providing a lot of texture.

 Yesterday my 4 year old woke up with excruciating pain in his leg and hip. It was painful enough that he couldn't even bend his leg to sit up.On the way out door I kept my distance so not to add to the hysteria. We couldn't figure it out since he had been bouncing around right before he went to bed the night before.    At the hospital we learned nothing was broken but quite a bit of fluid had accumulated in his hip causing the pain called Transient Synovitis.  Apparently it's quite common

 It's been a long haul to update our fireplace. Originally it was one of the features that we were going to leave "as-is" but then you get in to a remodel you get foolish and start to say things like, "Since we're already at this stage, we might as well..."  Curse those dangerous, budget-busting words. Here it was to begin with in all it's 1970's glory. We almost left it as it made the best rock climbing wall for kids.Some serious demo took place.   We decided on a gas fireplace insert. We
