Fantastic Morning

The Race For The Cure was this morning and it was great. LOTS of people turned up for the event, which was fantastic to see so much support. It was a good time, but also a time to remember those we have lost. It was also inspiring to have the survivors celebrated as they crossed the finish line. So many stories and so many smiling faces and cheers. It was a good thing.

I See Pink

I am Racing For The Cure on Saturday. By racing I mean I am run/walking for the cure. I am not confident in my 5K ability at this point, so I am planning on a non-timed race. I am excited to be doing this and thrilled to be doing it with friends and having family there. I hope the kids enjoy and that fun is had by all. It is a time to honer those we lost, those who fight, and those who have won the battle against breast cancer. Our sisters. To be able to do this with so many of a shared experience will be powerful and one that I hope to keep with me all year.

Held On

Yesterday we held onto summer for one more day. Our family hit the always fun Millennium Park, where we swam, played in the sand, enjoyed the splash pad, and soaked up the sun. As we pretended that there was plenty of summer, we briefly ignored the leaves starting to change color, the plans of apple picking, and other fall activities. It was a wonderful way to end things. Now I feel fully ready to embrace the fall, the color, and crisp days ahead. In a word, it was Awesome!

Man Made

I live in man world. I am married to one, I am raising 2 of them, I even work part-time in men's clothing. So when I saw this cool organizer for all those remotes that are floating around my house, I said HURRAY!!! There is a tutorial over at Sew-Mad (photo by Sew-Mad as well). I love the material that was used. This will be a great solution to the all to common question of "where is the remote?"

A Walk

The holiday weekend is here, and we have to say goodbye to summer. It was a wonderful summer full of sun, sand, woods, family, friends, laughs, and most of all love. I really enjoyed being the 3 amigos during the day. While dad was off at work, the 3 of us would take off on adventures and enjoy. Now, schools, schedules, shorter days, and the chilly weather are knocking at the back door. We have one last weekend to enjoy, to be out, and kiss the summer farewell. I hope that you enjoy it as well!!

Fabric Previews

There are so many beautiful and fun fabrics that will be arriving this winter, I can hardly wait. Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, and others are previewing new lines over at The Fabric Shopper. Currently I am in a 50's retro groove. Recently I have the fun undertaking of restoring an old metal glider for our porch. I also have found so fab. 50's Pyrex for the kitchen to add some kitsch. So when I saw the line Circa 50 by Monaluna, I was thrilled. To view the entire line click here.

I see a couple of pillows for the porch coming from this line. Maybe some fun little accessories for kitchen as well. Not only is it super cute, but it is 100% organic cotton as well. For a fun treat check out The Fabric Shopper Gallery for some Beautiful fabrics and let your mind wander.
