ONE.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been eight years since this precious little nugget made me an aunt.
It was one of the best days of my life, and I remember it like it was yesterday…
Maren is the sweetest, smartest and wittiest 8-year-old you’ll ever meet. Just ask her fan club president 🙂
We celebrated the birthday girl with burgers, karaoke & nail-painting. Good times had by all!
We love you, Maren! 🙂

I always look forward to Encouraging Wednesdays over at French Press Mornings.
Love, love, love.

THREE.
When we moved into our house about 3 months ago, I started a list of projects that I hoped we could accomplish before the baby was born…because I know full-well that I won’t do a darn thing for 6 months after he’s born 🙂 Giving our master a facelift was last to be checked off of the list–and I’m just in love with the result!
The barn door is an old one from my in-laws’ barn. I mean, how cool is that?
Chris added a coat of this driftwood stain, and it was ready to go. It’s even more gorgeous than I could’ve imagined!

FOUR.
How ’bout them Royals?!?
They’re going to the World Series for the first time since the year I was born!! Perhaps our little man will be able to say that they won it the year he was born too? 🙂
This weekend I’m jumping on the KC Heart bandwagon and trying to track these down for Arden and baby #2…
If any KC friends know where you can get them locally (so we don’t have to wait for shipping), I’d love to know! I’ve been gone for too long and feel so out of the loop!

FIVE.
This just in: Halloween is 2 weeks away. HOW?!?
And we all know that after the costumes have been donned, and the insane amount of candy eaten….it’s time to start thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas 🙂 Since I plan to be snuggling a little bambino by the end of this month (eeeek!!!!), I’ve called on a few amazing blog friends to help me keep this place hoppin!
So get excited to “Say Hello to the Holidays” in November and December! A fun little lineup of guest bloggers will be sharing all things Thanksgiving & Christmas….including recipes, family traditions, holiday fashion, activities for the little ones, etc. In a nutshell: lots and lots of holiday goodness 🙂
Happy Friday, friends–and thanks for stopping by!!
I LOVE that headboard in your room! And King size is totally the way to go!! Looking forward to the guest posts! Happy Friday!
Looking forward to the holiday guest posts! Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite holidays of the season 😛 You can keep the candy (minus the Twix)… my waist line would appreciate it 😛
Little House Kids in Fairway has the shirts!
They have them at the Little House right next to me. Let me know and I'll pick them up for you! I always need an excuse to go in there! 🙂
Your master bedroom = GORGEOUS! I absolutely LOVE that barn door. Perfection.
Those KC shirts are the cutest!! I'm thinking Marcus might need one of those, too. 🙂 Have you seen the shirts Raygun makes (they're a bit more suitable for adults)? I think they have a store located downtown… Go Royals!!
that barn door is amazing!!!!!! WOW, and how neat that it is from family. Love it!
I LOVE the new bed, such a different! Can't wait to read the guest posts, does this mean a blogging break after baby?
ok. your bedroom. is GORGEOUS. seriously gorgeous. it makes me want to curl up with a good book (or watch some tardy for the party). . . .
I've been dying to see the barn door headboard since you first told us about it…and it turned out PERFECT! The bedroom looks awesome! Maren and Arden look more like sisters than cousins…strong (and pretty!) genes on your side of the family!
I am seriously swooning over that barn door!! I LOVE that you didn't have to make it either, SO PRETTY!!
That headboard, I die!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!
Hopping over from the link-up!
That headboard is amazing! I love wood accents like that! Can't wait for your holiday series!! 🙂

Love love love that headboard!!
Can you believe the Royals? We were hoping for an 170 showdown but maybe next year:) All the KC gear in Columbia is pretty much sold out. I bet you could make some shirts like that with iron-on fabric? With all that free time you have:)
Stopping by from the link-up, your bedroom is SO pretty! I absolutely love your headboard!!
GO ROYALS!!! And I'm dying over that headboard!! Gorg.
The Little House in Fairway sells the Charlie Hustle tshirts for kiddos!
That headboard is absolutely GORGEOUS! I'll have to remember this if anything happens to our barn.. 😉 Stopping by from the link-up!
I would love to know the paint color of your Master Bedroom? It's beautiful!
Thank you!!! It's Sherwin Williams comfort gray…although I would think of it more of a soft blue/green. I love it!!!
