SIMPLY rearanging

Well, it's been on my mind for months now, and after a long conversation with my husband and children, we decided to put the boys in one room and give our little princess her own ballet pink room to bloom!

I have to admit, most of my inspiration has come from our faithful St. Francis of Assisi. Oh and from my little ole' friend Alice http://www.alicecantrell.com/blog/ . It's not about the size of your house or the number of rooms you have........(wait a minute, what am I talking about???).........oh yeah, it's about using what God has given us to bring our family closer together. We just need to simplify and use what we do have as best as we can.

So this is where I am. Hopeful this will give the boys a better chance to build on their relationships. If not, there is always the shed in the back yard!!! Oh that could be my hiding spot!!! hahaha Well, it could be that nice little hiding spot to sit alone and pray quietly. Ok, one thing at a time. If you know me, I'll start that before I have the rooms done.

What will I fill the boy's rooms with? Well, beds, dressers and one tv, with a game console. NO CABLE!!! Tv. time will be earned. I want to put shelves for their nature collections, (right now they are collecting tiny rocks), statues and books. I want the room to be relaxing and at the same time inspirational. Blocks, cars, etc... will be kept in the Family Room! We are changing the title of Living room to Family Room.

Danielle's Room will have her bedroom set from my Beloved Maw-Maw Jeannette's collection. My mom and my aunt Nanette used it while they were growing up! Lot's of history. We love hand-me-downs. Especially when it comes from family members. She will also have her play kitchen and possibly an area to practice her ballet skills!

****WARNING***** There will be a big mess in the hall and probably throughout the rest of the house before we are done!!!! So if you plan to visit in the near future, take this as your warning. I do not have hazard signs to put up!! (these signs would probably be a good investment) hahaha. Love to all!
