The Colors Have Been Chosen!

Here are the interior colors of our new home. I guess I was in a very "Spring" and "Retro" mood when I picked them out.

Color names from top to bottom: Vintage Orange, Intense Jade, Sunflower, and Garden Medley. All from Behr.

I will let you guess which rooms these are for ... and then I will post photos of the painted rooms as I get them done (ugh). A hint: none of them are for the bathroom :)

Have a great Monday!

Love,

Jodi

HAPPY EASTER!

Ahhh ... what a nice day we all shared today. We enjoyed a lovely and simple Easter with family & friends. We hope you did too :)

The Easter Bunny brought Isaac his own camera (along with a trail full of colorful eggs). Please click HERE to see some of his personal photography. He is so in love with taking pictures like Momma does. And I am so pleased :)

Also - Auntie taught Isaac some new painting tricks ... using hard-boiled eggs (she jokingly told me to write up a tutorial of their new art technique here on the blog. But I had a hard time figuring out what in the world they were doing. All I know is that they had fun) :

We even got a look at my parents' new place. It is coming along very nicely:

As soon as they move into their new house, we get to move into the house they are currently living in (on the same acreage) ... so we are VERY excited that their new house is almost finished! We are SO ready to finally move. Spring is a wonderful time for new beginnings :)

With Much Enthusiasm for Spring & All It's Blessings ...

Anyone Want To Buy a Charming House in the Country?

After all my endless internal debates about whether or not I should raise my son in the quiet solitude of the country or in the heart of the city, I think I have found the perfect solution ... or rather, it found me. My parents' fire is what initiated a whole new (quite unexpected) option for us. To make a long story quite short - Halis, Isaac and I will be moving to my parents' land (very country setting of 16 acres surrounded by a State protected forest) in Bangor (aka: The city).

I am so very excited about this! And when I share the details in a later post, I think you will understand why. For now, we are getting our house ready for sale. So, again, I ask you: Anyone want to buy a charming house in the country? Just $130, 000 and its yours :) I will even throw in some chickens!

Love,
Jodi
