What do you do with a snow day?

Bake cookies of course!  While I didn't have the ingredients to make those yummy looking chocolate mocha cupcakes that Jessica at creative index suggested, and I wasn't about to hit the roads in this ice storm, I did have everything to make these fabulous chocolate chip cookies though.  Let me tell ya, these cookies are a.maz.ing!!

I know, I know we're wusses here in Texas you can see there is hardly any snow on the ground.  In our defense that is actually ice, and there is supposedly an inch thick of ice on the roads.

Get Ready for Baby

Okay, so I already have my baby toddler.  Gulp, BIG gulp and a little tear.  I just had to post his room because it is the only room in the house that is absolutely, completely, without a doubt done!  (I lie, I really should have added drapes).  When we moved in there were really old shutters mounted outside the frame and closet doors that wouldn't stay up.  Embarrassingly enough the room was in this state until we found out we were expecting and had to get our butts in gear.

 

Here are the new blinds that I got at Home Depot and cut down to size.

I wanted a nice upholstered glider, but I was 8 months pregnant 

and my husband won the battle after about 3 hours of debating in the store.

 We opted for these floating shelves from Ikea instead of your standard bookcase.

This is the picture in the white frame on the shelf.  I think it is my favorite picture, I adore my boys!

I didn't want anything too pastel and babyish so we went with a vintage baseball theme (I usually hate themes, but this is toned down).  I love the way it turned out, even over one year later.
