Our new kitchen
Just wanted to post a quick update! I hope that you all are enjoying the start of a beautiful summer! We have been enjoying many special events, parties and celebrations with each of the children for the past month as well as packing up our old house and preparing for a very big move to our new house! I haven't had a moment to blog but I know that I will soon! In the meantime I am trying to pack a family of seven in an organized way so that it is a little easier on me once we arrive. I have to admit, at this point I just want to throw everything in a box and call it a day! I would love to hear your tried and true moving tips!Even though I rarely mention anything about "house stuff " here, I absolutely love all things "home." Whether it is cooking, organizing, entertaining, gardening or decorating. I will go weak in the knees for an all white kitchen -something about how clean and crisp it looks. Same thing with food- it just looks prettier to me on all white plates. I absolutely love all white bedding, dishes, furniture and clothing. I appreciate all types of style and taste but there isn't anything in my opinion more beautiful or calming than a home dripping in shades of white. I have always been that way. When I'm in a store my eye is immediately drawn to fabrics and furniture in white, taupe, cream, beige and ivory-so soothing. It reminds me of our special memories by the beach. My favorite place on earth. I also love the color of seashells for the rooms of our children. I recently purchased a conch shell to use as inspiration for the girls' rooms! I just love that pinch your cheeks pink color for little girls. So if you happen to see a blonde lady walking around Home Depot with a gigantic seashell, say something......it's probably me!

Well, get out of town! She is still blogging! Oh, I am so very happy that you are back!
We can't wait to hear more of your inspiring stories! We have been thinking about you and your family and the stress of a move, etc.
The NEW kitchen! Oh, gee wiz. I've got to hear about this one! Sigh!!!!
That kitchen is absolutely beautiful! I am jealous!
Holy cow! That kitchen is fabulous! We want to move in -- do you have room for four more?! I am dying to see the rest of the house now!
It's so good to hear from you! I can't wait to hear about your new home and see what you've done to make it yours. I just purchased white bedding for our master bedroom this morning ~ so relaxing and welcoming.
I don't have any packing tips ~ sorry. The movers always pack for us and unpack all the large pieces once we arrive.
Good luck ~

Love that kitchen
Your new kitchen is beautiful and I know you are eager to make it your own!:) Congrats on the move!
Oh how I missed you so! I would love to chat via emial if you have any time. I've found a church and could not be happier. I've been unpacking and decorating since my move in April.
So excited for your new home, can't wait to see pictures.
Are you still at your current address, I packed the little something I have for you away so good that I forgot what box it was in. Ofcourse it was with my Life Beautiful magazines for the office / craft room which I'm painting this weekend and finally had to unpack :) Anyway, would love to send it off, but not if you've moved.
I really do praise Him everyday for bringing you into my life. A year ago I would never have dreamed I'd be going to church and now I think I've found a true home because of this blog. Also, can't wait to hear if you're going to have another Pearl Event, I really would travel anywhere to hear your testimony.

I'm so happy to see you blogging! I love, love, love the kitchen. I also love shades of white, though I can't live without my deep reds and golds and greens.
Glad to hear you're having a very happy and fulfilling summer!
WOW, what a kitchen, so much fun, you must be VERY excited!
