around my home // a girl's space

Back in December we decided to give the kids their own rooms.

A little space in the house to call their own.

I decided to keep my daughter's room with the black and white theme, but decided to add some pops pink and gold. (You can see what the what it looked like >>> HERE <<< )

I had plans for a few DIY projects before I posted, but life is so busy that I just haven't got to do any of them (planning for the near future though, so stay tuned)

 

My favorite is hearing my daughter reading from her room.

In her own little world, with out a care expect for those words on the pages.

I find myself sitting in the corner imagining her growing up in this space.

Will it change as she grows?

What will her style be like?

Will she love antiques as much as her mother does?

 

As I tuck her in at night, I kiss her goodnight and pray she knows just how much I love her.

So I made a 'Summer List', You can see it here. And I am making a point to start checking things off of it. The other day they kids and I escaped the heat for some cool breeze and ocean air. 

 

It was the perfect escape! And the kids had a blast. We rarely make the 45 min drive- like I only think we've been twice in the past 4 years, eeks! They were asking the entire drive "are we there yet?"- typical right. The squeals that came from the back seat as ocean became visible was not only ear piercing, but equally heart bursting! I love when they can't contain their excitement. 

 

 

 We dipped our toes in the cold water (literally only our toes, those waves are quite intimidating to little ones) and rolled in the warm sand- well my son did, must be a boy thing. And it wouldn't be a successful beach trip with out sand castle building. 

 

 

 

 

We left with sun-kissed cheeks, salty hair, and a handful of memories. I made a mental note that we need to go more often!
